How many times did I say to be patient with him? I pointed out dozens of times that it took Hurley, Golden, and Donovan a few years to get things going at UConn and Florida.
No one here wanted to listen to me. Pope is extremely intelligent. He’s going to figure it out.
No he’s not.
He is figured out. 11 seasons as head coach he’s the coach that he is.
He does nothing well as coach. No offensive plan. No defensive plan.
No preparation. Players don’t improve. Players not in condition.
His teams just don’t compete. And sometimes they just quit. Or even worse, they just don’t show up.
You could give Pope an NBA all star team and he would win 63%.
BYU was glad to get rid of him.
You can throw all that BS out there about Hurley and other coaches. Those teams got better every year. And they never just quit.
Popes teams get worse.
He’s 20-16 in the SEC. The worst 2 year stretch of any UK coach in history.
