He is getting paid a lot of money to do a job he isn’t good at. I’m sure you were mad at Cal.

The difference is that I felt like Cal cared more about how guys 'he put in the NBA' than going to Final Fours. He also got stagnant in his job here at the end IMO. Pope is a lot of things, but none of those things.

…where it belongs.

Pope didn’t hire himself and anyone who thinks he’d turn the job down if offered tens of millions of dollars to coach Kentucky is deceiving himself.

Be angry, but at the right villain, the guy who hired Billy Clyde Gillispie and Joker Phillips, and kept Tubby years too long and ruined Calipari and Stoops with foolish contracts and gave JMI control over the NIL mechanics and is going to rip off the university for a million dollars a year to do nothing after he retires.

Mitch Barnhart has wrecked the most elite college basketball program in history. Don’t lose track of who is at fault or ever let him forget it.

I agree, but at this stage unless Pope resigns he’s going to catch some of the crap too! Eventually you’ve got to man up and acknowledge that you’re in way over your head!

Weird thing to say about a guy who has been to six Final Four’s including four at UK.

Just say you don’t like Cal as a person, at least you’d be honest.

Not true, I just don't like the foundation he built the program on.

100% agree. He put us in this financial bind.
