Hubert Davis had zero tournament wins when hired at UNC. Jon Scheyer had zero tournament wins when hired at Duke.
Hurley had 2 wins when hired at UConn.
Who would you pick as the next HC?
- Thread starter Anony Moose
- Start date
Hurley had 2 wins when hired at UConn.
They can all recruit and scheyer was under the greatest of all time Herbert Davis can recruit Hurley can recruit and with Hurley didn’t have 22 million he also wasn’t at Kentucky . UConn also had the Covid year and he showed progress every year but Kentucky isn’t a rebuild type of program it never has been .
Did pope get cooper flag? Caleb Wilson ? Did he get any good portal players ? No he didn’t he got below average players and these are the results outside of chandler Moreno oweh none of them are good Kam started playing better before he got hurt but still 6 pts a game is below average
I’m not so sure he’s getting a 3rd year.
I still think he will. But I’ve learned this week that there’s some people that really matter voicing real anger about Pope.
Who is voicing real anger because unless it’s the crafts or a big doner none of it matters
Rupp is not the goat he coached in the 40-60’s coach K unfortunately is a much better coach
One major hurdle with him are his ties to ISU...
- On June 1, 2013, he married Alison Lacey,[1][3] former ISU women's basketball standout...the spouse being an alumn may a pretty big thing, but she is from Australia, so she is not an Iowa native or anything, so who knows?
His bio on Wiki

Are you able to expand on this more? It doesn’t matter who I guess but what is being said that you have heard?
People should cut the s.h.i.t. Support what you have. Grass ain’t always greener. People are like “we need to go get Hurley and give him whatever he wants”. The same Hurley that just lost at home to 13-13 Creighton. The same Hurley that didn’t get going for a few years. People want all the coaches who appear in the top 10 at the moment. Are some of you guys that fickle?
You name a coach, anywhere, who could’ve dealt with all the injuries we’ve had while trying to stave off EVERYBODY’S best effort, game after game, and it’s gonna be a war in Auburn again Saturday. They’re a pretty good team who have lost 5 in a row. Similar to GA, they’ll be playing their *** off. We need to win, and we very well may, but it ain’t easy sometimes. I’m not happy with our results this season either, but sometimes it just happens. We hope to get past the injury bug, learn some hard lessons about acquiring players, being a little better shoppers, and hit the ground rolling next season. This season ain’t over. These guys have the potential to surprise people, let’s just hope they do.
Meanwhile, keep posting threads, day after day, about how we need to nab Hurley, Oats, or May at any cost. Grow up. If this happens a solid year or so after we get past the bumpy road, then I’m sure it’ll be addressed at that time.

Your right, the goat was John Wooden at UCLA.
10 championships in 12 seasons, and 7 in a row. I think 87 consecutive wins. K was a great coach, but for the talent he brought in, he should have won a lot more. And you have the same argument about era, as you had with Rupp. UCLA were getting the greatest of all time players back then, and are still considered some of the greatest.
No John wooden isn’t he’s a cheater . Cal had 10x the talent k had and barely won 1 title in 15 seasons . Cal should’ve had 4 titles and K probably 7 but K still much better than anything we’ve had close to him is probably pitino
Damn, done came back out of the woodwork. What's your opinion of the Pope era this far?
I’m not getting into it all but there was a lot of cheat . You can easily cheat and win 10 titles actually would say he did win 10 titles because he did cheat . Bought his players ilegal things cars etc scandals all over the placeJust how did he cheat and win 10 titles, KENTUKY wants to know
Just how did he cheat and win 10 titles, KENTUKY wants to know
You don’t believe he cheated ?Just how did he cheat and win 10 titles, KENTUKY wants to know

I believe it's a crooked fkn world, and they all cheat. So yes I believe they did, Kentucky, and Duke probably all did. The prison system couldn't hold all the cheaters
So give me a better argument then that, because if you want me to believe they were the only cheaters, it's not happening.
I don't believe we have to accept this. Grass isn't always greener but our grass is pink not green.
Nobody wanted pope here the 23k that showed up to the stupid press conference where just on high that cal was fired nobody really believed that pope was gonna win a championship here or even get to a final four he has no resume has never won anything as a coach this isn’t a rebuild school. When Cal was hired he won this is a win now school. It was far past Cal time to go I’ll be the first to say it after the lost to Auburn in 2018 in the elite 8 I thought he should’ve been fired and only got worse after that game that was 7 years it took for him to not even get fired but for him to leave . This isn’t wait 5-10 years and will see then kinda school. He’s down every single game by double digits never seen a team more unprepared than mark pope . You can make excuses about injuries but this team wasn’t good from the start they got a desperate pg out the portal who was bad and you all were convinced that he would just get better because he put a Kentucky jersey on well sticks got hurt before he stepped on a court . Although it’s not popes fault he got hurt it is his fault that he built this team . No coach at this school has had 7 home losses during his first two seasons only pope . There’s no getting better he has no recruits again while there will be 8 freshmen drafted in the lottery not one committed to Kentucky and it’ll be the same thing again next year . You can’t name a single thing outside of just hope that pope is getting better and it’ll just magically fall into place next year .
We could throw in Jay Wright as well. Wright, Donovan, and Pearl all have something in common in that if they still wanted to be coaching college basketball, they would be.
He definitely didn’t get anyone that can compete such as Wilson, boozer , flemings, and flag last year and many more like yaxel lendeborg or the many others we missed in the portal that chose other schools and we got stuck with our 3&4 options . Team wasn’t built correctly didn’t get any recruits and we missed on every portal piece and this is what we get for 22 million. We’re not getting any more than 22 million will probably get around half that amount this year because why would anyone give much for performances like this .
Well, had UK not gone after him, he’d likely be starting at UF, which means he’d be a key player on arguably one of the best teams in the nation. I think you are underrating Aberdeen.
