If every the opportunity though. Unlikely he wants to walk right into this hot mess.

UNC wasn't willing to wait for him to make this decision. But I've seen a lot of you on this board and social media express unhappiness with Pope. If your boosters really pressure your AD, you could probably force a coaching change immediately.
UK doesn't have the luxury unc has. Y'all can get away with fake classes for 30 years and fire Hubert after he got to a FF and nobody says anything.
We got crushed for running Tubby and Cal off when it was clear they had let go of the rope.
If we just fire Pope right now, to hire BD, the vile crap coming our way from the idiots at ESPN, wouldn't end for many years.
I'm not being negative hete, it's the truth.

UK wasn’t willing to wait either, which I thought at the time and still think was very shortsighted. Let’s say you don’t get him til towards the end of the transfer portal. You burn one season, and then take off in year two. In the long run that’s better than hiring a lesser coach who may have more success year one but has a lower ceiling after that.

Pope and BD are very close friends, BD will not come under these circumstances.

Well if the boosters could take the 22 million they used toward the roster last year and use toward Pope's buyout now...... We could have our choice of Billy D or Pearl...... I'm kidding for all those that will get bent out of shape....
