Mark Pope aint it

While I hate the blow out losses...a lot. I do give high level credit to the come backs, not demerits.

I value resilience in the face of extreme adversity over front running and I love some front running tip to horn blow outs.

Sure, hole digging blows chunks but being able to climb out of one is invaluable in my eyes. Without that ability in the bag the plan will not likely survive a real punch in the mouth. Something really valuable is being instilled, it has happened too many times.

The problem with the comebacks for me? They shouldn’t have been in position to need the comeback. No better example than the LSU game. The fact they were getting shedded by LSU is a big big problem.

And now this lame OP, and obvious troll is pretending to celebrate.
Luckily, he'll lose interest and wander off soon.

That’s how a dude like Tubby sticks around as long as he did. Process matters. I can appreciate what you’re saying though.

Tubby had a winning percentage of 79% with a title season and 3 more Elite 8 seasons and 5 SEC championship seasons through his first 8 years. Acting like he was allowed to stay too long is pretty goofy.

It's not spin. Let's say Pope is a 3/10 recruiter who misses on all of his targets (which has happened) and gets the literal last available player because he has the Kentucky brand and resources behind him. That doesn't solve the issues now or going forward.

I don't just look at things on the surface. The Kentucky head coach should not struggle to land recruits, especially not to this degree. Do I think Kentucky will still get recruits under Pope? Yes. Through luck, the program's brand, or sheer force of resources, Kentucky will still attract talent. But that doesn't mean Pope is good enough at recruiting or that he's succeeding in that area. That's like counting W's and L's and not also looking at the fact you were down by 20 in many of those wins and blown out in many of those losses.

Its not who you miss on fella. Its who you get. Bottom line, top 5 recruiting class
