My 10 Mark Pope thoughts:
1. He never hired a GM, clearly a huge mistake considering his incompetence at managing an organization
2. His players have severe mental issues, which is absolutely his fault
3. Its getting worse, not better
4. The fans have zero insight into what the assistants do
5. We aren’t good at anything
6. This has already eclipsed Billie Gillespie in terms of humiliating failure and we have 20+ games to go.
7. We will pay him close to 20 million dollars once he is fired
8. Season ticket holders can barely give their tickets away, let alone sell them for a profit. The economy surrounding UK basketball is in abject collapse.
9. As boosters and ticket holders get hosed year over year, the deck stacks against the program
10. Fans are starting to dislike Mark Pope the person, not just Mark Pope the coach
@mojo33lexky@LegacyBlue_UK duke played in the title game against Kentucky in 1978. far from a nothing program. foster had struggled to replace that core, but there was recent success. K really didn’t get it rolling until the 82 class came into form.
I refuse to have conversations about which line ups Kentucky basketball should prioritize. Im done falling for it. We suck, our players suck, our coaches suck, and Pope will be fired after a miserable year. Hopefully he is fired mid season. I support him being fired right now. Thats the only lineup change i support.
@GoBigBlueAllDay this group failed to perform against JMU last week. any P4 team likely would have beaten them in rupp that night and there were boos from the home crowd. so these guys who are all making 7 figures had adversity to respond to, and a big stage to do it on. they all shit the bed.
This team doesn’t have their starting PG btw
Still running us off the court.
Sunshine pumpers used that as an excuse the last 2 years? How about now bitch?
@finebaum 2001- LSU, Saban put an end to Peak Fulmer. The vols passed out roses celebrating the win over florida in early december, but couldn’t finish the job. Things were never the same for the big fella after that.
@cutler1300 no disrespect, but Jimmy Hyams isn’t exactly highly respected here. yes WNML is the flagship station, but their sports radio is TERRIBLE. i’ve lived in knoxville forever, and the only people listening to his product are absolute brain donors.
