As I posted last night, we have no choice but to give Pope a chance. Is it possible, however, that he is indeed a stopgap hire?

FactsProbably, but I'm willing to give him a try. Let's see what he can do with the portal.
I would have preferred Drew, but Pope is on par with Pearl and some other names.
You ever get thru to mitch today? LOLProbably, but I'm willing to give him a try. Let's see what he can do with the portal.

On par with Pearl are you serious?Probably, but I'm willing to give him a try. Let's see what he can do with the portal.

Only if he doesn’t work out. If he’s successful here over the next 2-3 years you’re not firing him to move on to bigger fish.As I posted last night, we have no choice but to give Pope a chance. Is it possible, however, that he is indeed a stopgap hire?
This is what I'm afraid of.Pope was rushed through Thursday night to make his hiring be the main story of the day instead of this. Mitch is done.

He isn’t a stop gap. He’s in the realm of a Todd Golden, who has had moderate success at the P5 level, that you hope will translate to greater success at UK.
If he succeeds, he’s here 10 years.
Well said. Ignore the fools that tried to call Barnhart in the wee hours of the morning, lmao.This wasn’t a stop gap. This was a rebranding move and a return to tradition. Were lucky a coach as good as pope was available to be able to do this.
As I’ve said in other threads, a Mormon school as a top 25 program = Kentucky top 5 easily.
Calipari broke our brand and it was in serious trouble. Look at the guys we were going after. Drew and Pope, two highly respected guys in this profession. We sold our soul to Calipari and these types of guys reclaim it. It’s not a stop gap, this was a plan. We were known for all the wrong things under Calipari. Our 30 and under Crowd is totally retarded because of it. That’s bad business moving forward for UK.
Pope, as long as he doesn’t do egotistical and stupid things, will kill it here. And when he does we’ve got our guy for a generation.
Whew 10? I’d say closer to 15/20.
