Its a lazy hire who could pass Barneys moral litmus test. Ill give Mark a chance but Barney must go.I can’t believe some of you are actually trying to hype yourselves up over this
No shit. Some people will just grasp on to anything. Isnt that what IU starting doing before the end?I can’t believe some of you are actually trying to hype yourselves up over this
I couldn't agree more. This is Barnhart, again, living a life of virtue signaling. I'm so tired of it ... that's not his job. We all know of his strong faith but his job to put coaches in place that can best win games. Pope is not even close to ready. Maybe at some point but not now. If Barnhart is too lazy to make the hard choice, then resign or get out of the way. I've said from day one that Barnhart COULD NOT be allowed to unilaterally make this decision. By the way "kydmb99" ... never bet on the crowd being RIGHT, they're not.I can’t believe some of you are actually trying to hype yourselves up over this
You boot out Calipari, and make no mistake it was time for him to go, to end up with Pope??? This can’t be real.
If they were gonna go the young up and comer route they should have went after Golden.
Arkansas came after Cal and Texas A&M came after Stoops, so Mitch needs to play the same way.Mitch won’t poach SEC coaches. Its not gentlemanly in his eyes.
UK, UNC, and Duke are doomed! It's the start of a new era in basketball.You never hire a coach because he played here. If Pope hadn’t played here we wouldn’t even know who he was.
It's a form of denial, which honestly can be a very effective coping mechanism. But yes the need to cope is born out of anxiety.There's a segment of the fanbase that will happyclap and explain away virtually everything.
Used to drive me crazy but I think it stems from anxiety issues more than anything.
Honestly my one last sliver of hope is that this was intentionally leaked in order to gauge fan reaction and "something will come up" at the last minute to kill the deal.Bewteen here, online, podcast, Facebook it feels like 90+% of the fanbase is outraged.
I hope you're right. 2 years ago he finished 5th behind Santa Clara.Honestly my one last sliver of hope is that this was intentionally leaked in order to gauge fan reaction and "something will come up" at the last minute to kill the deal.
I find it suspicious that everybody got this info at the exact same time. Hell, I got a WLKY news alert on my phone at the same time ESPN and CBS reported it. I don't think Fred Cowgill has any sources.
what a hardassProtect the frauds and delete this thread. They must be protected at all costs so they can try to tear down the program without this hanging over their heads.
It makes sense if there's a university shattering lawsuit about to drop the next day but I digress...The general consensus of the fanbase was wtf at first since, no, he wasn’t anyone’s first choice (to put it lightly). But he’s grown on us. His spirit, love for the program, and coaching ability inspire confidence. As does the support of our boosters and administration.
No program in the country would go from courting Dan Hurley to Mark Pope and be like “yeah that makes sense.”
The way you think about who coach should be is exactly the problem we’ve got into with Cal.It was a bad hire at the time and still is if you think people should get jobs based on actual performance.
Time will tell if it works out.
“UK coaching hires should’ve won at least a tournament game”The way you think about who coach should be is exactly the problem we’ve got into with Cal.

Well, there were almost 30,000 people yesterday that were pretty hyped up about the hireI'll put a call in to the proper authorities.
