GYERO ARCHIVE

Horrible hire.

 

[CatsBy90_rivals30112]

Schiano-esque revolt is needed.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

From jet tracking, Danny Hurley to Mark Pope? Dear God. Help us.

Mitch needs to be jettisoned into the sun.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Now it’s time to panic

 

[Century Cat]

We started the day with proclamations that Drew would be announced today.

Time will tell, but I'm not folding my tent 12 hours later on a story that Pete Thamel sourced. So far, every prediction has been wrong.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

LOL - This reaction is hilarious. I mean, one for the ages. LOL

 

[jwheat]

Are we gonna sit here and **** on our own like that? Done with the program if we hire mark pope? Go **** yourself.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Where’s @Dr. Hoops ?!?

 

[neilborders]

We need to do what TAMU did when they tried to hire Stoops

 

[CC_332_rivals113783]

The meltdown on Rafters is an all-timer.

 

[CSC81]

In one day, I went from thinking that we had Scott, to then thinking we had a real shot at Dan, maaaaaybe an outside **** at Billy…

and now we end up with Mark Pope.

[insert Zoolander crazy pills gif]

 

[Catman100]

Wtf??

 

[The_Godfather_rivals]

It’s time for someone to step up and takeover this search from Barnhart.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

1 - He's not a drunk

2 - His wife(ves) know better than to run their mouths

3 - He can't go to church with Mitch

4 - He's not a drunk...

 

[AIChatGPT]

Welp.

That’s vanilla.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Ok, again if Kentucky is what we believe it is we’ll be fine. Excited to see what he can do with some brothers

 

[Crystalglass]

Pope’s five years at BYU are nearly identical to his predecessor’s last 5, record wise. There is no justification for this at all

 

[GrandePdre]

Schiano-esque revolt is needed.

GTFO with that. He won a title as a player here. We can be super pissed about the choice, but you can't mutiny a former player as the coach.

 

[Anon1700452283]

Mitch probably rushed things with Drew and overall and there's a perception out there that it's a toxic place to work based on his and Cal's volatile relationship. Cal has been badmouthing him too to anyone that will listen.

 

[NW50]

Mark Pope. Nothing against the guy.

But he CAN’T be our next coach, right?

I can think of 20 better ideas than Mark Pope.

 

[gobigbluebell]

Dude relax, don’ try not to dish on it like a teenager talking about which girl to take to prom.

We’re Kentucky, we’re already the prom king just trying to figure out which queen will make the next few weeks the best time overall(in this case years).

It’s not the prettiest or sexiest every time, it’s the right gal that’s cool around your friends but classy around the parents.

You’re stupid.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

A New Hope with a New Pope!

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

Everybody needs to chill.

We can pay Pope a pretty low price and have the funds we were gonna use on Hurley to pay players.

Pope was Shep’s roommate in college too.

 

[CatsBy90_rivals30112]

GTFO with that. He won a title as a player here. We can be super pissed about the choice, but you can't mutiny a former player as the coach.

As a PLAYER. WTF does that have to do with coaching? Sheray Thomas for head coach! He played here! GTFO.

 

[UKwizard]

We just pulled a Duke/UNC?

 

[GrandePdre]

Mark Pope isn't getting the effing job.

Some of you need to stop posting every single update you see on the interwebs and several of you need to stop posting altogether, which actually predates the coaching search but whatever.

@freezingcoldtakes

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Your next coach. LOL

LOL

 

[Crystalglass]

I wasn’t old enough to know back then, but everyone says the good ol boy network in the AD before Barnhart had gotten out of hand.

At this point, I’ll take a greasy ex-player pilfering funds and hooking his redneck buddies from Clay City up with no-show jobs if it means we actually have someone at the university who, you know, actually likes Kentucky sports

 

[BBdK]

Ha holy ****

 

[august-west]

I’m not gonna hate on Pope but if he is the guy then it feels like a panic move to me. I said a few weeks back that I liked Pope but to from Drew/Hurley/Donovan/ to him is a head scratcher.

 

[_Chase_]

Didn’t Krazy say this years ago?

 

[Nightwish84]

Told y'all after the St. Peter's loss to make a new GYERO and no one listened.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Do you all, do ANY of us, really know much at all about Pope's coaching ability?

Probably not.

 

[krazykats]

Wait hold up, yes I’m available! Just ran to the store real quick for melatonin and apparently missed the call.

Mitch WTF.

Also, man I’ll have to dig but I was WAY out in front on mark pope! I got run for a week from this place like 2 years ago for that idea.

 

[SophiesDad]

 

[UK_WINS_NCAA]

Pope = Henson

 

[GrandePdre]

I'm betting the Pope hire would actually help convince Reed to play another year, FWIW. I'd say Mark and Jeff are pretty tight.

 

[diamondd]

I had heard that Mitch had royally screwed some stuff up but I never thought it would lead to this.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

I would invite you all to watch that video I posted, and then imagine that system with, as UCL so eloquently said, running it with "good players/black players" LOL

 

[august-west]

Im not usually all in in former players being the coach but I like Mark Pope. The guy is extremely smart, has done well, put his dues in and he would understand the tradition. Im not necessarily sold on Drew but he seems to be the one Mitch is smitten for. Not sure what that says for him, though.

^^From February. Still, though, I’m shocked if it happens.
