Of course I want Pope to work. He is the coach at UK. If he is not more successful in the near future he will be gone and I won't be whining about that fact if that is how it goes down. He has only been here two seasons and has dealt with difficult circumstances so far and has still clearly done a better job than BCG did in his two seasons. BCG most likely would have gotten more time to prove himself if not for his shameful extracurriculars. Saying Pope has come up short of what we expect here is not the same as saying he sucks.

I did not say "your" goalpost. I said "the" goalpost which had been established in the debate you chimed in on. I have explained this to you multiple times and in different ways to help you understand. I will not bother trying to explain it to you any further so have fun with whatever similar repetitive response I'm sure is coming.

Sounds more like your goal post moved but to
each their own. I don’t know a single UK fan that hopes Pope fails. I personally think he doesn’t deserve a 3rd year but he is getting one so I’ll hope he succeeds but I won’t ignore the 3am fire. Having said that, I still think him and BGC both stunk it up pretty bad here, aka suck.

And you are still wrong. Even if you ignore injuries he has still has performed OK based on the Sports-reference.com SRS rating (performance vs scheduled played). He has averaged 20.19 for his two seasons. In the 25 years previous to his arrival we were below that number 15 times while exceeding it 10 times. So while he has not set the world on fire he has not actually "sucked" even by semi-recent UK standards. BCG averaged 10.94 by this metric which is obviously not even close. The Pope vs BCG comparison was the original debate that you moved the goalpost away from in the first place.

You've got to kidding with this one. Have you not read this board over the past few months?

Oh boy. Could he add a new third school on Monday? I’m betting that is about 10000 times more likely because dude isnt picking anything until the last moment. It’s all about keeping the attention on himself as long as possible. That’s his current priority.

Stokes & Momcilovik for me. That truly pie in the sky wish that ain't gonna get fulfilled was what I wanted from the first moment I thought of it.

Back up the brinks truck to the bank, get everyone on board here, make a dual press conference letting them choose a big blue mist enshrouded pair of sunglasses with UK logos on them.... then let the world despair.

So I'm cool with Muurinenn gone now. That was more likely, but of course, not gonna happen.

we gonna be alright I think, just need to remain a little more patient.
