Mitch is such a stupid **** I’ll be glad when that worthless **** is gone! I’m glad Andy stepped up and got rid of his golden parachute!
My letter to Mark Pope (please read Coach)
- Thread starter Drcats2025
- Start date
Coach I appreciate your response, I truly do, but I’m not sure you quite picked up on what I was laying down…
Anyone else keep feeling like he comes in and proves everyone wrong this year? Like I cannot stand his defensive strats, offense looks meh and his energy is weird.
But 3rd year and folks stay healthy and he has some sort of magical year and one of these recruits catch fire or crazy hungry. I mean I get that more likely outcome is we end lower than 8th in the SEC but just this odd part of me feels like he pulls a rabbit.
I would have to eat a lot of crow, and would be happy to do so.
All that said, we are most likely headed for a new coach in 27.

as long as we're sharing our writings inspired by Mark Pope :
(sung in the style of an old sea shanty)
"Dear Mark Poop, you are a dope,
Your coaching makes me want to mope,
Your recruiting makes me just say 'nope',
With you in charge, there is no hope,
I'd rather wash my eyes out with soap,
And then hang myself with nylon rope,
Than hear another tired cliche or trope,
From the chicken lips of ol' Mark Pope"

That funny Saul, but we don’t want to discourage him.
Btw, how is Donna? I miss seeing her and those Pom Pom’s in the stands
What would you do in his situation?
If you say you’d walk away from the contract, then I’ll know you’re a liar.
I understand it’s a lot of money, but the love for this program far out weighs monetary value for any real fan. That is straight facts.
I believe Pope will do the right thing.

Kentucky coach Mark Pope opens up for Q&A on X, and it backfires in spectacular fashion
Kentucky coach Mark Pope's public Q&A backfired spectacularly as frustrated Wildcats fans unloaded over transfer portal losses and recruiting woes.

You avoided the question.
So I’ll ask again. What would YOU do in the same situation?
Smeegs, with all do respect, it’s pretty got damn clear what I would do based on that response. I’d give up the money. It’s just paper.
And now I know you’re a liar.
The only people who claim they’d turn down guaranteed millions are those who’ve never actually been guaranteed millions. You’d be singing an entirely different tune if you had his contract. And you know it.
Don’t call me a liar, Smeegs. I don’t take too kindly to that kind of talk. I’ll give you one chance to take that back. I’m sure you’re just having a bad day, but make it right.
Better head to AI for that one. Might be a little complicated for the standard search engine.
OP turns to Google for next step...
I can’t take a summer of this kind of stupid ****. See y’all next season.
“Nobody sees what’s on this board you dumbass boomers!!”
Reminder to those that don’t understand. You don’t have to be on this board to see what’s on this board.
That's how a man reacts to a burn. That's one of the funniest things I've read in a while.
His objective, I believe, was achieved. He probably sent the link.
OP true statements you made but of course he will never see it. But it’s amazing how people on this forum get pissed off so easily. Not sure what’s to get upset on what you posted. Any ways the low IQ and immaturity of this board increases daily. It’s a place to express your thoughts but today’s society likes to rage about anything and everything regardless on how trivial. Have a good day OP
While there are truths in the post, I thought it was pretty clearly a joke.
I have definitely enjoyed the responses lol.
This is so cringe
Purely from an entertainment perspective, it was good post OP! I do appreciate that you parsed your disappointment of him as a coach and appreciation for him as a player. That's actually very respectable and cool IMO.
If "too much free time," was in the dictionary, this post would be used as an example
I know no one will believe me, but I would forfeit millions to resign if it meant the University of Kentucky, worth several billion, could get out ahead.
While I’m not surprised, it is astounding to me. “You just hate Cal” was an absolute staple here for about 5 years. Constant, non stop. Didn’t matter what it was, if you supported a change, you “just hate cal”. One of the worst things ever uttered here.
And wouldn’t ya know it, even though Pope literally cannot be hated personally, even though it’s not possible to hate the guy in any way really, it’s happening again. More and more “you just hate pope”, although worded differently, is happening now.
It’s amazing because if someone will say that phrase about Pope when it’s totally untrue and there’s no pathway to accuse anyone of it, it stands to reason that no matter what happens or who it is, “you just hate” excuse is going to live forever. If that excuse can be applied to Pope, it’ll be applied to anyone.
It’s a huge annoyance for me, personally. If a coach of Kentucky murdered 100 people and 90% of the fanbase wanted them out, you can believe the coach brigade would say, “you just hate ______”. What is really amounts to is, coach fans cannot come up with viable reasons to keep him, they cannot find anything but excuses. Can’t find a record or history to point to. Can’t find anything in the future to hold. So they say, “you just hate coach”. And that settles it, a win. A way to find some fault in the person who sees clearly a change is needed, and win. It’s not substance, it’s hate. And “you” are a hateful person. So now, the coach is covered, and I win.

He wasn’t put in a difficult situation.
He put himself in that position. He put his name out there. He took the call. He accepted the position. He got a huge raise for doing so.
At any point, he could have said that he isn’t ready, isn’t experienced enough, isn’t the right guy…he didn’t.
If he loved UK as much as he says he does, he would have never accepted the role. If he loved UK as much as he says he does, he would step down.

False.
He committed to coaching these players and has obligations to the University to run through the tape come hell and high water or a bright and sunny day with doves delivering olive branches.
Wanting the man out doesn't mean there is no shame in cutting and running on your commitments when it gets difficult.

Play on Popes ask last night on Twitter he asked for feedback from Big blue nation. So don’t make fun of the OP make fun of Pope for opening that door.. It just shows how weak and ineffectual he is to make that ask. I think he’s just looking for some pats on the back. He’s gonna toss out 90% of it. It’s like get out of here dude type post and he’s gonna just stick with the 10% that are pope pumpers.
