he's not doing better, he just got blown out a few days ago. he got a fluke SECT win after other top teams got knocked out, so what?

You mentioned Cals tournament woes in his final years at UK.. hes got a sweet16 at Arkansas. I mean, I wouldnt write home about that.. but its factual that hes doing better at Arkansas. Why? Probably hated his final few years here as much as some fans hated him.

I hate it. The negativity of the board towards the team sucks, the players are trying, they just aren't that good. This season will be it for Pope
I blame the players much less than I blame Pope. He never should’ve been here. He didn’t deserve that chance, but he got it anyway. And this is what happens. I can’t wait til he’s gone.

the rational fan would say its November 10th, let this team gel and get some time

but Pope knew the deal going into this season and before it even started he was already asking for grace to let the team grow.

the only way he stays is if he makes believers of the fans.

This isn't it. There is no grace. I love Mark Pope and I want him to succeed, but if he is just doing the same thing over and over again, he won't.

If he doesn't understand that what he's done in his ENTIRE career to date isn't good enough, he is never going to understand it.

I'm 100% certain the new AD has told him he isn't going to let him take this program down on his watch.

I feel for Pope with the pressure he is under but he could have walked away last year, saying he wasn't the man for the job. That pressure is going to be 10x as bad if this team isn't being mentioned as a national title contender by January.
