John Pelphrey returning HOME TO UK

[Cleatortoises]

Donovan will be coming home soon enough

We offered him the job over 20 yrs ago. He said no. More than once.
Hell be 62 next year. That's what you want?

 

[Cleatortoises]

Yeah, please no Billy Donovan. That would not go as great as people think. The college basketball world has changes so much in the decade or so since he coached that it would be a struggle just to adjust.

Get a killer. Get Oats. Someone who knows what it takes to win right now.

Sorry but I can't jump on the Jai Lucas ship until he has a few more years under his belt. Go win a conference title or make a deep run in the tourney. Maybe a few times.

Just get a killer.

Oats got a killer, allegedly.

 

[Cleatortoises]

Sigh... you don't know what you go till it's gone. I'd take the BCG era over this crap anyday.

Vinny Zollo says hey.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

No he didn’t. Say what? Thank you for the history lesson.

???

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

I presume most of the posters on here are much younger than I, so coming on here to read the reactions is just an exercise to see how whiny, ignorant and self-entitled younger people are. Mission accomplished folks!

Seems like you’re the one who is whining, throwing a tantrum, because other people are stating their opinions.

 

[sefus12]

He played here though ? Don’t that mean something duh right ?

You do realize being a head coach and being in charge of player development are slightly different things, right?

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

you do realize pelphrey is useless at both, right?

 

[sefus12]

How do we know he’s useless at it? You don’t. You don’t like the hire and that’s fine, but you Have no idea if he’s bad at player development. He was good enough in a non-head coaching roll for Donovan to hire him twice.

he has been a complete failure since 2007.....its 2026. 20 years of track record tells me what he is. no one wanting to hire him tells me what he is.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Sounds like he has an opinion about the childish opinions he is readings. Sounds like you are the one whining, throwing a tantrum, about other people stating their opinions. LOL.

 

[ThePrinceIsKing]

Sadly Gillespie had done more than Pope. He was actually on the rise. If he wasn’t a drunk he probably wouldn’t have been so terrible.

Read what you posted again out loud and listen to how stupid you sound.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

The apologists for this hire look absolutely hilarious and borderline cultish. This is a C- hire for a head coach whose report card desperately needs some A+ material.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Read what you posted again out loud and listen to how stupid you sound.

Maybe you should read it again and try to comprehend it. I don’t think you understand what it means.

 

[ThePrinceIsKing]

Oooh it’s one of those cryptic messages. I’m not good at those. Good for u bc it seemed pretty effin’ stupid on its face.

 

[sefus12]

You do know a lot of failed head coaches turn Into really good assistants/coordinators/staff, right? Again, we don’t know if that will be the case here, but he has a good enough record as an assistant to get multiple head coaching jobs. That says more than your biased opinion that he’s a failure simply because you dislike Pope.

But hey, you all keep being miserable and b*tch and moan about anything and everything UK bball. I’ll at least wait until we play a game or two to judge how well things are going.

Aren’t you just a bottle of sunshine. You should go get laid or something.

 

[Jeff Hoyt]

Seems like you’re the one who is whining, throwing a tantrum, because other people are stating their opinions.

Sounds like you are whining and throwing a tantrum because I pointed out how whiny and tantrum throwing you are. My other point was ignorant, and you proved that as well. Good job.

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

Sounds like you are whining and throwing a tantrum because I pointed out how whiny and tantrum throwing you are. My other point was ignorant, and you proved that as well. Good job.

Sounds like you’re a 50 year old boomer who is unknowingly a cuck to his wife because she can’t take any more of your incessant whining and complaining and needs a new man.

So you come to Rupp Rafters to blow off steam calling other people ignorant for your own shortcomings of a man and deep down you realize this board doesn’t mean anything but it makes you empowered to talk $h!t like a 12 year old school girl.

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

That would make sense if I came on here complaining first. Which I didn’t because I replied to a bitching and moaning comment. You’re an idiot whose brain can’t comprehend how things work and just repeated my stance on the subject because you have no fruitful thoughts of your own.

Somebody always gotta guide you by the leash don’t they? Good boy.

 

[ThePrinceIsKing]

“U mad bro?” Is so played out you can do better I believe in you

not miserable at all. i just know how this story is going to end. when you hire a collection of career losers, what do you really think the results are going to be....

There haven't been any 50 year old boomers since 2014.

Your inability to read people is probably part of the reason you are a twenty something whiny nothing. I actually have the guts to post under my real name. Your "name" is an apt descriptor.

Or you’re just stupid having your name out for everyone and anyone to see

 

[DudahUK]

Y’all whine when we don’t hire someone and whine when we do. Just go find a new team at that point.

Oh now it’s whining? I’ve been a fan longer than you’ve been alive sucker. I’m a REAL UK fan, if you think we have been UK since Covid, you are dumber than I originally thought. Telling me to root for a new team? The audacity. You aren’t Sheriff of UK fandom dude.

I mean you whine non stop. And you must be old if you been a fan longer than I lve been alive. Real uk fan doesnt give up before the season even starts.

 

[DudahUK]

Got damn. This is looking like a game I am going to turn off at half time. This is ridiculous. Come on Stein. Get the crew together.

Fair weather

 

[Catastic5]

I’m gonna watch something else. Maybe the 2nd half will be better. I doubt it. Being a Kentucky fan is masochism.

 

[DudahUK]

Yeah. About to turn this off. What UK team showed up today?

 

[DudahUK]

I’m gonna watch something else. Maybe the 2nd half will be better. I doubt it. Being a Kentucky fan is masochism.

Fair weather.

 

[rivercatinfl]

He’ll with it! Let’s just watch rifle!

 

[ScWildcat3]

Kinda. Went to UK but got a job doing website **** that didn’t require a degree. Smartest thing I ever did. If I threw you my wallet in the pool, it would sink you.

Only poor ppl flex.

 

[DudahUK]

Only poor ppl flex.

Cool. Sorry for you.

 

[ScWildcat3]

I wonder if fair weather dudah saw the win

You people don't remember the time when these guys came in played for Kentucky when we were on probation. The microwave fans suck. It is like the football fans bitching that we don't win 10 games a year. How long have you people been fans. Moving in the right direction is a good thing.

 

[travisbickle]

The Mark Pope press conference reminded me way too much of this:

We should’ve known what we were in for when they hit us with three different fonts on this graphic.

The giant background copy of BCG with 10% opacity is like the demon in his soul.
