Woah slow down a bit. I’ve had a long history of following UK basketball. I actually coined a phrase “ shelf life” in regard to UK bball coaches back in the latter Rupp years and Joe B Hall days. Based it on the tenure of coaches in ND football.Now compare Pope's passion to the last clown coach we had, who constantly belittled our fan base by calling us "Bennies" and essentially saying our opinions were worthless.
So glad we have new life and new blood in this program. If Pope gets this thing rolling, we'll have him here for 15-20 years of basketball excellence and constant passion for the program.
Just think if Oats or Drew were here as mercenary's, going through the motions. No way I could get excited about either of them.
So Re-energized!
I hope we beat the shit out of CCC this season.Now compare Pope's passion to the last clown coach we had, who constantly belittled our fan base by calling us "Bennies" and essentially saying our opinions were worthless.

I hope the offseason stuff translates to the court and winning. I really love Pope and hope he crushes it. It would break my heart to see him fail. Not that I believe he will, I think he’s gonna be great.Now compare Pope's passion to the last clown coach we had, who constantly belittled our fan base by calling us "Bennies" and essentially saying our opinions were worthless.

I really feel the same way. Part of me believes Mitch didn’t hire just one coach, Pope has a lot of extremely knowledgeable friends that are there for him. Yes, Pope is the HC, but he has an extremelyI hope the offseason stuff translates to the court and winning. I really love Pope and hope he crushes it. It would break my heart to see him fail.

Good for you. 👍I would be ecstatic if Nate Oats was the coach.
Everytime he takes a breath and says something, he's refilled with it. I'm eager to hear all of the same excuses he used here.I hope we beat the shit out of CCC this season.
What good does plenty of nil money do for him? He still has to coach them.. 😂The thing I hate is that ccc now has plenty of nil $ to shop with
The "it's a ten year job" thing came from Joe B. Hall. He was a good man, but UK is a different beast and requires killers to run this thing the right way.Woah slow down a bit.

I thought back then about 10 years was the shelf life of a UK bball HC. Still believe it.
And I’m with you on CMP. Perfect guy with the exact style of play. So much pride passion and energy.
Getting talent isn’t his issueThe thing I hate is that ccc now has plenty of nil $ to shop with
