Not a fan of this hire, but JVC was surly with the fans, couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag, and grossly overpaid. In an either/or situation I would have taken ANY D1 coach over him.

I could choose to cry about it like a lot of you are but it is what it is. I wanted Donovan. Until Pope gives me a reason to be bummed about the hire, I won’t be.Great. Ask UofL fans how well that worked out for em the last 2 seasons.
1-3-1 and we'll stump Cal and his low BBIQCalipari is gonna beat the crap out of UK and pope.
Hell yeahGive me the guy who bleeds blue and cares about the program.. Let’s rally and give him our all and help him be successful. Calipari absolutely sucked the last 6, allow this to play out.
At least Pope has been coaching a bit. I watched that BYU Kansas game a few weeks back where BYU won. I was impressed. Gotta show he can get some players here. We all need to get behind Pope.Great. Ask UofL fans how well that worked out for em the last 2 seasons.
You can still cheer for Cal at Ark if ya want.Every fan that ever wanted cal out should run and hide
Period
Never comment again actually

Respect your opinion. But UConn just rolled everybody 2 years straight without a bunch of 5 stars. Maybe with the right fits for his style Pope can succeed.Pope has shown zero ability to bring in top talent to this point.
I get that he has been at weak programs, but as BCG proved, the Kentucky name alone isn't enough to get it done.
I'm struggling to find a reason why top recruits would want to come play for Mark Pope, and without elite talent, we are not going to win big.
Barring a miracle, this will not end well.
Bro you were anti-Cal ride or die like me for years….Give me Calipari all day.
There is one difference, Payne came from the Cal coaching “tree”.Great. Ask UofL fans how well that worked out for em the last 2 seasons.
You are a perfect example of what's wrong with this fanbase.I like a better brand, better players and better results than Cal.
We will see if Pope can deliver that. And in this day in age, it needs to happen next season.
Just mad right now. I typed some things in anger. I’ll cool off.Bro you were anti-Cal ride or die like me for years….
Cal left. Mitch was bringing him back against almost everyone's wishes. Incredibly stupid poll. Abstain.What’s the opinion of BBN?
Why because he isn’t asking Pope to be fired before he steps on campus.You are a perfect example of what's wrong with this fanbase.
Thank you. Somebody who isn’t thinking with their heart rn. I’m just as worried as y’all. Can we give the man a chance? If you know me by now you know I will be shouting to fire Pope just as much as I was Cal if he screws up.Cal left. Mitch was bringing him back against almost everyone's wishes. Incredibly stupid poll. Abstain.
No, because he is making unreasonable demands. And thinks because he bought a t-shirt he has a right. No rebuilding year. Win now, or we'll get someone better. Only we won't. Because nobody wants to deal with these people and their unreasonable demands.Why because he isn’t asking Pope to be fired before he steps on campus.
But we all knew he was a moron. I was on board firing Cal provided we'd get a home run hire lined up. But that part is on Cal too I guess. This just seems desperate.Cal was horrid, and needed to change or go. Fans can't help it that Mitch is a moron.
I disagree. All you have to do is play zone, ball screen and run some back door cuts and you can beat Cal pretty easily.Calipari is gonna beat the crap out of UK and pope.
Hell it’s so easy an Oakland can do it!I disagree. All you have to do is play zone, ball screen and run some back door cuts and you can beat Cal pretty easily.
