Actually, Mark Pope is the one entitled who gets the Kentucky job with that kind of résumé without being entitled? White privilege I mean Mark Pope privilege
I’m definitely ready for this clown show to stop! No reason Kentucky shouldn’t finish in the top 5 in sec every year. Pope has a .554 winning percentage in the DAMN SEC!

Do you think a black man gets the job with that resume?
If he played at UK and held a power 5 coaching spot, yes.

So all this time, you've been thinking Mitch is racist and Pope only got the job, because he's white? 😂😂😂

What black coach are you thinking should have been offered? This should be good.

I can’t think of another reason! His resume was crap. So he got the job somehow. He’s definitely an unqualified white man
He got the job because he's an ex UK player and he held a coaching spot at a power 5 school and won a game at KU.

You fools accusing people of being racist crack me up. Y'all play that stupid racism card every chance you get. Racism does exist, but it goes both ways and that is an accusation that shouldn't be thrown around loosely like you're doing right now. Maybe stop watching CNN.

He coached power 5 for 1 year at byu btw. I’m trying to figure out why this magic underwear clown was hired!

No clue why he was hired. Wasn’t Travis ford an ex player?
No one knows why. There may be 1% of the fan base that thinks he should have been. I’m also pretty sure Idiot Mitch didn’t say “Sampson is available but I think I’ll take ole whitey from BYU”.

Guy was a 20ppg player, a really good athlete and a good defender. When you rely on team basketball instead of individual accomplishments, it's not hard to believe.

But you guys really have to stop trying so hard. Just say you hate Pope, there's no need to try to disguise it, we already know where this sh*t is going.
Billy Clyde- Patrick Patterson lottery pick
Tubby- tayshawn prince 1st round
Rick- mashburn lottery pick
Cal- Davis no1 pick
Magic underwear clown- Otega probably undrafted

I meant non white. Jewish coach Bruce pearl has his resume best easily
Again, he has a show-cause on his record, he’s old, he just screwed Auburn over and made them hire his son and he retired. That's why he wasn't offered the job.

You don't have an actual argument. You threw out your bs racist comment and didn't actually have a case for it.

A guy that has a show-cause on his record and retired?
And this is who you're going to use as a defense to play your white privelage card? 😂😂😂
He definitely should be the coach rn. I’m still trying to figure out why magic underwear clown was hired? I’m not buying ex uk player. Travis ford had a better resume than cult pope

Alright, I'm all for crapping on the guy who's best season in coaching is 12 losses and a sweet sixteen. But this is the most retarded comment in the entire thread.

But Travis Ford is white, that doesn't fit your narrative. According to you, any white dude Mitch hired, was due to "white privelage". Do you even have any ide what you want?

Mitch will never offer the job to Pearl. You can't have a show-cause on your record and get this job, not to mention, he’s too old, he might have 5 years left at best.

And Travis Ford??? You're just throwing names out there, he’s less qualified than Pope is.

Rick and cal are hall of fame. Billy was fired after year 2. Why is pope here?
Rick and Cal weren’t HOF coaches when they got the UK job, so they obviously got it because they're white. This is your logic. Are you walking it back now?

They both been to final four. Again why is pope here? Isn’t not because he’s a ex player cause Ford’s resume is better.

Won championships? What championships? He hasn't won jack sh*t at the power 5 level.

You can't claim Pope was hired because he's white, then try to make an argument for Travis Ford.

Where are all these black coaches that were snubbed because they aren't white?

But white privilege is white privelage.

Why did BCG get the job?

I'm assuming Barnhart thought Pope was really intelligent and figured he would be good some day.

Barnhart is a lot of things, but racist doesn’t appear to he one. That's a ridiculous accusation.

Bottom line mark pope should’ve never been hired. He didn’t deserve the job. Hopefully it’s his last year! I’m over Joesph smith jr

And that makes him more qualified to get the UK job? He won a couple of mid major conference titles?

You're argument is gone. None of this makes sense. You claimed "white privilege" on Pope, but you’re best candidate is another unqualified white dude.

This is a pretty dumb conversation.
