By "every year" you mean last year since he has only coached 2 seasons. He had ZERO chance to put together " the best roster in college basketball" in the first one as he was hired too late and nearly all the best guys were gone.The jury is still out on this season so basically you are basing all your BullSh!t on one season. Did he miss last year yeah he did , will that mean he keeps missing only time will tell. If he misses enough he will be gone. Thank God limp waisted jerks will not be the ones that make that decisions.
Dusty May won a title in year 2, Sean Miller and Cal had no problem putting together teams with NBA talent and a ceiling to do much more than Pope. I don’t think Pope is a bad coach, I just think he’s in over his head. Kentucky ain’t the place to learn on the job.

Land Nate Oats and Kentucky will be a title contender year 1.

Until Pope starts winning and putting together teams like Dan Hurley. I had some genius posters this offseason point out to me how they both sucked for a few years so Pope was going to take that same path soon and that’s why we should be happy he’s here. I’m just really excited for that to happen soon. I can feel it coming soon and it’s going to be beautiful.
Word is mark pope is out! His time as Kentucky’s coach is almost over!

Yes and for what its worth I wouldn't have hired him if it had been my decision. We did hire him however and I think any coach that comes here should get a fair hearing. Based on his body of work HERE I think he was successful year 1 and unsuccessful year 2. Hes got this year for me at least to prove which season was real. If he can't compete for SEC title amd at the very least get to second weekend of tourney he needs to go.
Mark pope is a middle of the road coach, who pays big money to low level players!

Not Oats. Anyone but Oats. Probably in the very small minority, but I am completely bailing on the program if Oats ends up here. As it is, unless we could get Schertz, I want to see what Pope's 7'5" recruit can do. He very well could be the game changer everyone is clamoring for.
