Bro are you 12 or what lol? Men have this little thing called pride...and a brain. Pope would tell UK he is either the HC or fork over the massive amount we owe him if we fire him
Very realistic. I could totally see this happening!!!
Pope wouldn't accept being demoted lol. That would ultra embarrassing. Being fired would be a better play.
What do the women look like in your fantasy land?
Throw the bank at him. You have an opportunity right here that likely won’t be there next year. But I have zero faith that anyone in charge at UK would even consider making that play.
Maybe we should also just sign 1996 Rick Pitino as the assistant coach and go dig Adolph Rupp out of the ground, give him CPR and have him be GM.
Just as realistic.

Go out and hire Brad Stevens. No way he enjoys staying at the top unopposed. Surely he's ready to take a down program back to the promise land.
That’s one name that I don’t think you could realistically afford. He’d already be back if so.
Idk if you noticed but our UK administrative wing is in transition and suddenly on the hot seat right now. Who is "They"? The "They" we know needs to be considered for immediate dismissal.
but the long ball for next year with Donovan is definitely plausible.
We have an incredibly narrow coaching pool, as evidenced by this very thread.
There are not a lot of options at any given time for who is a good candidate to coach UK bball.
How many coaches out there have 2 national championships and a 3rd final four on their resume? I don’t care when it was.
Jesus, how many of these stupid threads are we going to start on here?
Pope isn't getting fired, get that through your thick skulls. Nobody gets fired in this situatiin. Not at duke, not at uNC, not at KU and not at UK. You guys act like Pope led UK to the NIT, or CBI. Grow up, he's getting a 3rd year.

Only if he sits out a year. I wanted Donovan when Calipari left but the stupid AD refused to wait & talk to him.
Yeah, but we can dream, can't we?
I'd say the odds are right at zero, but Donovan as AD for a year and then replacing Pope the next, would be a dream come true.
Add Mitch being perp walked into the state penitentiary at the same time, and it becomes the stuff of legends.
Yeah, but we now have a bunch of "Fire Pope now and hire Billy" threads. Everyone wants their iwn thread to say the same stupid crap that has zero chance of happening.Yeah, but we can dream, can't we?

I agree. Pope did not lead us anywhere. These kids just stumbled through the season and lucked into the NCAA tournament. Pope didn't lead anyone anyplace.
Well cal has one and more final fours and wouldn’t want him anywhere near my program. He’s done. He will never win it again
See if Stein is interested in making history by wearing two hats at once.If anybody could pull it off he may be the one to burn the midnight oil studying the x and o 's . Georgia's coach coached football and was the active Athletics director at the same time years ago.He was a legend in Georgia football forgot his name
