Mashburn, Issel, Cousins, and Givens have all sounded off on their vote of no confidence on Mark Pope. Who will join them after this season?

People STILL don't get it. Our problems aren't about Pope! Our problem is Barnhart. Until we get rid of him NOTHING is going to change.Fire Pope you still have the man who brought him here in charge. You still have the guy who took the crown jewel of our state and our University, basketball, and turned it into a turd, picking our next coach. You still have the guy who put us behind the 8 ball on NIL making sweetheart deals and ruinous contracts with business interest that help him, not our program.Until Barnhart is GONE nothing good happens for Kentucky basketball

What we need is some of those guys to step up and give a vote of “no confidence “ to letting Mitch hire our next basketball coach.
Exactly they need to have an alumni revolt mixed with a fan revolt. Mitch needs to be no where near the next hire and if we're being honest here he needs to stay the **** away from the 2 main sports!

None of those guys has given a no confidence vote for Pope. They've all asked questions and had fair criticisms; that's not the same thing. It's perfectly fair to question and have concerns and criticisms but saying he should be fired before the end of his second season when his first season was a success is bonkers crazy.

ADs are politician figureheads. He may be an old stooge but thinking he's the one making the decisions single handedly is pretty naive. He's just the one whose name is on the checks

Yeah we desperately need the next Mike Pratt to take the decision away from Mitch. Like Mike did with hiring Cal. That was the hire we all knew we needed to make. But Mitch would have picked Shaka Smart lol.

Before we make anymore coaching changes (outside of assistants) we have to overhaul the athletic department starting with the pearl clutcher Mitch!

Is he still going to be a special advisor to Capilouto for two years? MB can't forego getting a bit more from the grift on his way out the door.
I certainly hope not. I don’t want him anywhere near the athletic department nor does he deserve to be.

You are the one that's naive if you don't think Mitch runs things

My God Son. Were you this brutal the last few years of Calipari?

Calm down. Stop with the no recruits crap until he finalizes next years roster.
A lot of these top recruits who have signed, will likely change their minds. And even they don’t, you seem to keep forgetting the portal.

And stop with the record so far. It’s disingenuous for you to keep posting about the record, but not mentioning the numerous key injuries. You sound like the liberal media in leaving facts out.

Pope may or not be the long term coach, but stop the constant Pope bashing. Get some drinks, relax, take up golf or darts. Jesus Christ you complain more than I do.
