I swear. Another reason Pope is in over his head. Let’s not actually hire people who can do the job the best. Let’s just hire the same people we have always worked with. 64% winning percentage move.
By every move Pope has made he is going to choose someone like Mark Fox to be the GM. Just ugh.
He was the head video coordinator. Lord have mercy.
This season has been the most games I’ve missed purposely and if something like that happens next season will be the same for me. Sadness.
I’m assuming he’s doing this in lieu of actually hiring a GM.
I do. Do you know why recruits aren't signing?
Cuz they didn’t understand the assignment
Typically what those that lack confidence do.
Negative. He’s not a big name and it’s a former buddy hire again. Just like Fox. Mark surrounds himself with guys he’s worked with previous and have no record of real success at any level.
With Mark he showed early when he broke a Saban rule first that this will be a buddy system. Looks to me like Mark is stubborn and drunk on his own abilities which make no sense. As I’ve said, it’s understandable some guys rely on their self like Calipari, they actually got themselves to the top. Mark didn’t do anything to climb it was a lucky draw and a bad AD that did that. Being Mormon so Mormon schools hiring you then a bad AD on his way out hiring you doesn’t mean you’ve done well enough to trust your own methods. Mark has no past success as a head coach. He needs to defer things
This is the point. He’s bringing in Georgia and BYU guys. They have NO SUCCESS in this business. He’s got the Kentucky brand go hire GREAT people for the job and stop looking around your neighborhood for people that never moved out.
Yeah, last years team was better...but let's be honest...neither were good enough for Kentucky. That's the issue. I don't want some dude that built rosters at BYU and cobbled together the merry band of misfit toys from last year. I want a guy that can go get some actual dudes.
Hell I just want a healthy roster for a season
It's not even clear if Pope intends to hire a GM. Listen to Matt's reading of Pope's quote when asked about it. It's next level Pope word salad. Clearly unclear about what he's planning to do.
