How so? Yes, we hate all those teams. But IU hasn't been relevant in decades. UofL would suck but they aren't a threat to our title lead. Neither is KU. UNC would also suck, but they've been trending down. Duke would suck, but it would only give them 6.
Not enough to make changes. If next season starts off badly, Rupp should be empty. Period. Its time to hit them where it hurts and demand change IF it starts going further south.
Not good enough, cut ties now and be a serious program
We may be livid as heck but that means absolutely nothing to stud players today. We have not been a school that means anything to today's players. We are looked at by kids like Vandy, Tennessee, Louisville, Indiana, and hell maybe like Clemson and VT. In the eyes of today's high school seniors we are crappy place to play. Actually the only reason Pope may be able to be competitive next year is our NIL. Sad that we have to buy a team and can't get kids excited to play for BBN. Just damn SAD! It is really not the same cheering for a bought team than the teams in the past 15 ears that came here because we are KY.
How many of those exist? Golden MIGHT be. Lloyd MIGHT be. But he's staying at Arizona.
I refuse to believe this job isnt coveted. Its one of the blue blood jobs. The longer Pope is here the longer we suffer as a program. Sorry Mark.
That's All I'm asking for . But our AD ,president need to be convinced otherwise
One, we probably can't afford it if we're being honest. We're still paying Stoops and we JUST hired a new FB coach.
You can believe it all you want....UNC is supposedly having troubles as well.
Because UCLA won it in an insane run and then nothing. Uconn h as been consistent for 25 years
Why worry about losing a rung? No serious UK fan says this. Come on man.
May is not coming here. He's in a low pressure well paying job at UM and is about to compete for a title. And they have WAAAAY more money than we do.
If you read the thread, some are worried that UConn would have 7 titles. Who gives a shvt how Many anyone other than us have. 8 looking for 9 is ALL that should matter. Hell with how many UConn, Duke, UNC, Kansas or even Indiana have. We have 8 and are looking to get #9.
Well, Lloyd just signed an extension at Zona so....not happening. And Golden isn't leaving UF yet it seems. Doubt he goes anywhere except pros.
You don't understand. I'll take a coaching search over Year 3 pope 9/10 times
Even if it ends up worse? And it absolutely could. Year 3 is happening. I don't like it either but that's reality. It's time some of us live there.
If Hurley, Oats and Golden aren’t the first 3 and only 3 to be offered the UK job by the new AD then he should be fired on the spot. I don’t care what has to be done or offered but one of those 3 have to be the next guy here. They are our best chance to end this nightmare. Everyone else will be another roll of the dice.
Hurley was offered God level money supposedly. The answer was no. So, that's no happening. Why would I leave a job where I potentially win the title 3 our of 4 years to come? There's no selling point. Remember, our history has less weight in the NIL era.
We took a chance with Pope and it's not working. You can't take two chances in a row an fail. Well, you can but it puts you in a deeper hole. Next coach can't be a "Well, lets see what happens."
You and I both agree. What are us peons gonna do about it?
