Did you miss that the hypothetical he sat out was if he reached the Final Four? Would you still want him gone in that case? I don't care if the coach is Mark Pope or someone else but the circumstances and results of the first two years calls for a third year imo. Firing a coach after just two seasons is an extreme move that should be reserved for only extreme failure such as a losing record (which isn't even a guarantee at any school) or extraneous faults imo. Many very successful coaches have gotten off to rockier starts in their first two seasons at their positions.
Go back. I already answered you but I messed up and did not hit reply.
My guess is you are going to do that anyway.
It makes perfect sense because I’ve shown my pedigree and knowledge but you haven’t. It’s ok you are a recreational player attitude
You are acting like a clown. You claimed to have averaged 15 a game in d1 BB (I have no reason to believe you but it is neither here nor there) and imparted no actual knowledge of anything. You apparently have accepted you lost the debate so now you are trying to change the subject to something utterly irrelevant. Trying to converse with you is ridiculous. It requires constantly reiterating what the topic actually is.
I HOPE we would let him go if those are the results. But I also hope that this year will go better than that.
Paul you are clueless and never answered anybody with a brain will see that please seek help
Another pointless post. Did you actually think that was clever? What did you get banned for anyway?
Yet another response that makes absolutely no sense.
Speaking the truth love your delusional rant robot nobody likes you
You’re kidding right? He doesn’t deserve a 3rd year. Frankly he didn’t deserve a 1st or 2nd. The only reason he deserves a 4th year is a FF or title next year. Only
Don’t need to be Nostradamus to look at his 11 year career and puzzle out that he is a 63% and sweet 16 coach at best with UK backing him.Have you given up the Nostradamus routine after that humiliating fail?
Blackwell to Duke.
You insisted repeatedly that Illinois and Michigan were the only two possible destinations.
Obviously comprehension is not your strong suit. That was not the subject at all. In fact it is clearly spelled out in the post you quoted.
It's funny so many of you who insisted that a program can easily be turned around in year one of a new coach in the NIL era also claim that Pope is doing damage that we will be lucky if we ever recover from. Can you give some examples of schools that fired a coach who in their third year had a good season that ended with a Elite Eight?
Not by a coach who has whiffs on recruits like Pope. You think the current team can win a title? Be honest
Btw Pope is doing damage you’re too blind to see. Even my friends who are not UK fans are asking me what the hell is going on with UK.
I have said repeatedly my opinion is not based on whether the coach in question is Mark Pope or anyone else. I have no idea if I would endorse a 4th season or not at this point. It has to play out first and then the state of the program can be evaluated.
I'm not about to claim this looks like a title team. That is not the only measure at this point though.
Davis was in his fifth year not third and he was coming off a second round and first round loss not an Elite Eight. It is yet to be seen how that works out for UNCheat.
Try to follow along. If Pope is removed it will then be a different coach but you are acting like we will still be set back indefinitely because of Pope which contradicts the other claim about being able to turn it around in one season.
