My opinion has changed, fire him now!!

[Blueaz]

The coaching decisions and lack of are inexcusable.
The lineup changes are crazy. The offense sets are terrible. Guys are always out of position.
He tries to overcoach and gets lost… and either doesn’t listen to his assistants, or they are worse than him.

 

[TyCatPrice14]

TIME TO MOVE ON SOONER THAN LATER TO SAVE THE PROGRAM.

 

[Mike-D]

We are gonna run it back, and will probably be worse next season. It's happening.

Save this post. Whatever you gotta do.

 

[NociHTTP]

Not going to happen. I'm in agreement with you that he's unlikely to change his ways in a third season, but the school isn't paying that much money.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

If the administration cared at all he would be relived asap. But they do not give a ****.

 

[MarvinHagler89]

Welcome brother. He needs to go now. Embarrassing.

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

This is a serious black eye, losing in the fashion we have. The clock is ticking and Pope is now going to have to prove himself big or we will be looking elsewhere this time next year.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

20-9 bro

TWENTY AND NINE . Then he put in JJ and we never lead again

 

[bleedsblue5]

I want to believe better players that don't get injured will fix it. But I just cannot see it

 

[MarvinHagler89]

If the administration cared at all he would be relived asap. But they do opt.

They don’t. That’s the problem

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

I can’t wait til next year.

 

[MakinMusic_rivals]

The thing is we are losing to a lesser team from a player rank perspective. This isn’t about players.

 

[Phil_The_Music2]

I've seen all I need to see, personally. I wanted to wait and see how this season played out. It's over and I don't think he's ever going to win big here. He doesn't have a feel for the game.

 

[JB_Cat]

This team looks like they weren't coached a single day this season, and it's looked like that all year. No improvement, no drive, no fight. The assignment was not understood.

 

[Hopmix]

I think they have to. The program is trending down. The only difference between pope and BCG is Otega Oweh.

 

[Cats4321]

Anyone who wants Pope back is not a true Kentucky fan. I'm sorry it didn't work out, but he clearly can't coach. Better to end this embarrassment now.

 

[Anon1762656614]

UK is literally in year one of a total rebuild. Last season was bum rush to assemble the best team possible given the circumstances. If UK were to fire Pope after this season UK would be in a perpetual coaching carousel for the next decade.

Haha still sticking to he has a chance to "prove himself". Those darn injuries

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Pope is lucky for the miracle or he would have lost n first round.

You are the embarrassment. You probably struggle moving from the couch to the fridge.

 

[Catlogic1552]

Pope ending the season embarrassing Kentucky on a national stage.

 

[Wildcat7662]

He should be fired before he leaves the arena today, and he should understand why.

 

[Titpwhahi2014]

I’m embarrassed to be a UK fan today.

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

I've seen all I need to see, personally. I wanted to wait and see how this season played out. It's over and I don't think he's ever going to win big here. He doesn't have a feel for the game.

Id by lying if I said I wouldn’t be happier today if he was relieved of his duties now. Regular season was a failure. Postseason was a failure.

 

[Hopmix]

Dude they have fight. This team is talented and with a coach was a top 25 team.

 

[Woodrow24]

Mitch destroyed the basketball program again.

You shut the hell up

Listen, man. I understand you are frustrated just like I am. I’m not the one bringing him back for a year 3 and I don’t make the decisions. This isn’t hard to understand.

 

[JB_Cat]

You sure you've been watching the same team? They fight and play hard when they want to, and that's usually when they're down big.

 

[cat tat2]

I can’t wait til next year.

I can’t wait for the next coach.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Yeah but don't tell the Pope sunshine pumpers that.
I said even without their best player ISU may truck us and they just laughed. Guess they forgot who are coach was.

 

[CoffeeCat]

Pope won’t get fired until Cowboy says so

 

[bleedsblue5]

This has to be the most double digit losses I can remember

 

[JwUKFan11]

Listen, man. I understand you are frustrated just like I am. I’m not the one bringing him back for a year 3 and I don’t make the decisions. This isn’t hard to understand.

He will prove himself soon! Just keep hoping

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

What’s your point man? Are you just trying to dunk on me for some reason? What’s the deal? Does it help somehow?

 

[Phil_The_Music2]

Yeah. It really sucks but there's just something off about him. He's brilliant at times and then other times is completely clueless. I think he is one of those guys that has a lot of book smarts but not a lot of common sense. We've all known guys like that. Depressing.

 

[Crazy4Blue]

You are the embarrassment. You probably struggle moving from the couch to the fridge.

You are nuts if you trt to defend Pope. He is horrible. His substitutions make no sense.

I tried to be positive today, but It turned into the same nonsense as always against a good team. We actually started a game great, and then he does what he does. Ruins their entire game in 10 minutes.

I mean he has like 14 or 15 losses by double digits here n 2 seasons. I lost count. He's not brilliant at all.

You Nitro and Cowboy lead the dumbass group on here. So keep acting like the ones who have called for his job all year are insane.
