    Legion of Doomers

    The only thing that counts is the NCAA tourney results, until we see how far this team makes it in the tourney the only turds are the turds that give up on the team.

    You seem like a pretty good guy, I am sorry the Cats won and ruined your day, I know you were hoping for a loss.

    How To Determine Who Should Coach Kentucky

    Yeah because that happens every time a team hires a new coach. What happens if UK fires Pope and hires a new coach and he only makes the sweet sixteen his first year and then his second year he doesn't get out of the second round? Fire that coach after 2 years also until we find another coach...

    How To Determine Who Should Coach Kentucky

    Recruiting isn't over, the way we are losing goes back to Pope missing badly on this years roster. What makes you think firing a coach after 2 years and hiring someone else will magically make us a title contender?

    How To Determine Who Should Coach Kentucky

    Are you? You said you wanted a coach that showed improvement year over year. Personally I think any fan that wants a coach that in year one took the job with no players and had to scramble to put together a team and that team despite injuries tied the all-time college basketball record for the...

    Would Next Season Be A Success If

    The downside is that if he doesn't make a final four after year 2, the delusionals on this board will want him fired also.

    How To Determine Who Should Coach Kentucky

    So your expectations are for a coach to improve year over year? Never have a down year? What happens when the coach you want improves year over year and gets to 40-0? There is no more improvement after that, do we fire him and start over?

    Why are there so many delusional Pope fans?

    Never said I was ok with just being ok, I am saying that anyone that thinks a program should fire a coach when that coach hasn't even completed 2 seasons yet is a nut job. The only reason Pope should not get a 3rd year is if the first year he missed the tourney and then had a bad year this year...

    How To Determine Who Should Coach Kentucky

    lol, If we hired him Golden and he did only go to a sweet sixteen his first 2 years you would be leading the charge for him to be fired. You are one of those fans that want instant success. Yes that happens sometimes but it is rare.

    How To Determine Who Should Coach Kentucky

    Everyone seems to love Golden. Say he was hired here and after his first 2 years he didn't get past the Sweet Sixteen? How many would want to fire him?

    Would the outcome have been different if...

    When should he sub? When we are behind? When we are tied? When there is only a few minutes left in the game and we are way ahead? Or would you have him just leave the starters in every minute of the game? I bet anything that if he rarely subbed, people would be in here complaining that we are...

    Why are there so many delusional Pope fans?

    I get so tired of that excuse, "that coach didn't have nil or the transfer portal" Before the transfer portal if UK had a coach that went 16-17, then 19-12, fans like you would have been calling for his head. And even with the transfer portal coaches can miss, like Pope did. Also you want to see...

    Why are there so many delusional Pope fans?

    Why did this coach get not only a 3rd year but also a 4th year? 1st year 16-17, 2nd year 19-12, 3rd year 15-8, 4th year 23-10, 5th year 31-8 won a title, 6th year 37-3 won another title. Did his first 3 years show "who he is" was he destined to be nothing more than mediocre after is first 2...

    Why are there so many delusional Pope fans?

    I wouldn't say it is being delusional to think a coach should get 3 years especially given the injuries. Pope made a huge mistake this year with his roster construction, if he can't learn and fix that in year 3 then it is time to go. I would say that the fans that want a coach fired before he...
