Quit attacking everybody…

I’m definitely not sunshine and rainbows by any means. I’m a realist, don’t get too up when we win or too down when we lose. I actually don’t disagree with your statement there tbh, if it had been that clear to begin with I’d have just hit the like and moved on. Have a good day 👍
The first sentences of the second and third paragraphs are exactly what I just said lol. You were looking for an argument but that’s alright. You have a good day also.

No extension without a national title. This is UK.
We average a title every 10 years. He will need an extension to have a 10 year data set.

10 years is not guaranteed and no extension should be given if the trajectory is not suggesting the likelihood that an extension will come with title opportunities.

We also average E8 yearly finishes (historical average) and a F4 every 5 years(historical average). Obviously some of those averages come in groups and then a drought. With that in mind, a F4 in the first 5 years gets an extension as it is meeting the Program's historical averages (assuming no missed tournaments or outliers). Going to 3 E8s and 2 S16s also likely gets a smaller extension of 2-3 years. If he doesn’t get past the E8 hump after that then the convo of moving on becomes real. But you don’t cycle out a coach that’s averaging a few decimals shy of E8 after 5 years and consistently has you as a top 15 team when the 5 years prior you had 1 tournament win.

It wasn’t all over the place. You seem to have a knack for seeing things only one way and that being that everything is sunshine and rainbows.

And since my first post didn’t make sense to you, let me simplify it one more time.

It’s been a solid first year. It hasn’t been great and it definitely hasn’t been bad. We’ve beat like 15 ranked teams but we’re gonna end the season with 12 losses. Anybody who says it’s been great and anybody who’s says it’s been bad is lying to themselves.
He’s annoying, lol. Had to hit ignore. Life too short.

So you don’t just tell people to shut while calling for peace? You also have access to others’ intentions as well? Good lord. Have a good day lol
 
I’m amused when a comment or opinion is posted that might not be popular or is contrary, the poster is automatically deemed stupid or dumb. I often wonder what those people do for a living that make those comments.
Live in their parents basement at age 40 and play video games all day and night, never became an adult & feel they’re above getting a job……..just a hunch.

Lol. You know you’re doing great when you have the backing of this guy. I’ve watched this guy tell multiple people he’s about to put them on ignore for saying something he disagrees with. One of the most disrespectful and worst people on the board ^ apparently you’d think the very antithesis of what OP is promoting


Softest guy in message board history @Cold Stout Beer . The guy who probably only sees about 10% of the board lol
 
Exactly. This year is a pass but next year (unless we go on a huge run this year) he will have to win at a high rate like you said.
Pope has what returning kids we currently have and three top freshmen. Unless we get some serious talent in the portal, we are not going to be drastically improved. Remember, most freshmen are not difference makers in the SEC. I think Pope should have 3 recruiting seasons before we coud or should know how he will be as our coach. I like what he has done so far but he deserves two more years before being judged.

People are always going to complain.

Hell, we've got people in my area this morning complaining we didn't get the tornadoes that were potentially to happen. Like, wtf is wrong with you? You WANT to be hit by what Poplar Bluff got? By what Arkansas got?

Society has just gotten dumber and angrier. And that's a bad combo.

Pope is going to get another couple of years to see what he can do. At that point, then we reevaluate. Anyone not willing to give him that, well, get help.
 
This is a message board and not just some but many on here are constantly attacking everybody who questions anything.

For those who are acting like this has been a perfect season you are foolish. Tubby Smith’s first season ended in perfection. Unless we go on a run and get to at least the Elite 8 or Final 4, this is far from a perfect season. Those who jump on anybody for saying otherwise, please shut up and let people voice their opinions.

For those who are hollering that Mark Pope isn’t the guy are foolish. He got here late and has dealt with lots of injuries and adversity. Nobody should be saying he’s not the right guy at least not after his first year.

Justin Rowland said something similar to this a week or two ago on Twitter. “If you think Mark Pope isn’t the guy you’re crazy. This is his first year and had done a solid job. If you think Mark Pope is the guy you’re crazy. He’s never won an NCAA tournament game.”

Attack me, I don’t care but deep down this is how it is at this moment.
Lot of Forrest Gump's on here, stupid is as stupid does. There's many times it's better to keep your opinions to your self than to let every one know how Gump you may be.

And Coach Pope himself has said as much. He KNOWS what he has to do here and that is WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!

If he fails to do so, he won't be our coach anymore. He has 3 years to get at least an SEC Championship and probably 4 to get to a Final 4. That's because he has a 5 year contract and he won't get an extension without tournament success from next season going forward.

He ACCEPTED that when he got this job.
Dipshit should have just given Pope a 3 year contract just in case he fails

If calling out the idiocy of some of the criticisms Pope has received this year is an : attack" count me in. If you don't like it ignore me or stick it in your ear, I don't care which

That's clearly a new alias of his and he's trying to act completely different as he's socially awkward and can't make one stick. I put the phony on ignore. His act is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Will never look back.
Awww I’m so sorry that you got your feel feels hurt. You need a bandaid for your boo boo? Weakest poster alive lol. I enjoy you bringing me up so I can remind everyone what a jerk you are for literally no reason at all to many people. I can’t think of anything more peak social awkwardness than you bursting a blood vessel in every thread, then if someone disagrees with you, you announce to the world how you’re putting people on ignore. No one cares who you ignore, you don’t have to announce it. Now, go back to the soft room, baby boy
 
Oh I have a life. A very busy life. And no. Those who attack people on a message board are the ones who need a life.
Dude, if you’re worried about people who attack on a message board let’s see if you call out the most notorious one on here. Warm Weak Piss-beer. The guy almost exclusively does what you hate and yet he seems to appreciate your thread here. I am with you that decorum is important and that people on both sides can be extreme. Why not acknowledge the most extreme of the extreme?

You’re getting yourself all worked up by arguing with anonymous people who you have no idea if they’re even real fans. Let it go.

The guy is here just to instigate. He finds every argument or personal attack funny.
No I actually don’t. I don’t find CSB funny or the drama that comes with him. He literally told me a week ago that he has YOU on ignore because of your posts. He instigates all the time and in a very visceral and personal way. I’m only defending myself from him because he is way over the top. I’ve not been a fan of your posts because I find you are almost always negative but I still took up for you last night with people saying over half the board has you blocked. That CSB guy shouldn’t be allowed to do what he does —- it’s actually ridiculous. I guess a lot of people are afraid to step up to the bully
