Feels like the program is dead.

[MidseasonTweak]

Another 20 years and most of us will be dead. Without major changes at the top we won't see #9.

Are you 70?

 

[Lovebaskelball]

Not dead, but comatose for sure.

 

[Tim0808]

I'm 45 and we've been way worse than this before. All it takes is competence

I respect your opinion, but I disagree. I do not think we have been way worse than this. I do not think you understand how bad we are.

 

[Tim0808]

You’re ignorant. UK’s problems are much bigger than the head coach.

Bingo.. We have a winner!

 

[kywildcat1021979]

And man I hate saying that.
Sure. It can come back. But it’s going to take finding the right guys to come here. And as we saw with UNC that’s getting harder to do.

I just think it’s going to be a long 365 days.

We need a kick *** for AD.

One that will replace Pope.
One that will rip up that JMI context and say
“Sue me. I don’t give a ****. I’m fixing this”.
and one that will work hard to revamp both FB and Basketball to where it should be.

Yep, Cal stuck a fork in us and Pope is finishing it off.....

 

[Tim0808]

1 more year then it’s over .

If we fire Pope, it will set us back 15 years!

 

[meteordealer]

Oh please! UK isn’t dead, you must really be young we have overcome much bigger adversity than a bad coach in the past. There is a simple remedy to the problem that will be implemented after next season and hopefully we move on.

Why wait until after next season? I'll be shocked if we make the NIT this season.

If we fire Pope, it will set us back 15 years!

Heh, I get it.

 

[Drcatfan]

Not dead, but on life support. It will take a coaching hire like the previous hires of Pitino and Cal to reinvigorate the program.

At this point, whiff on Stokes go 16-16 and fire Pope. Hope Donovan takes a year off and go get him at any cost.

 

[BigBlue1992]

I feel ya. But just remember, we went from Michael Porter and Mark Coury in the starting lineup to John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins overnight.

Barnhart and Pope have set us behind years, no doubt about that. The best thing we can hope for is that the entire state keeps pressure on the university to get rid of those who should’ve been gone long ago and to straighten this out and make it right.

 

[TheApostleSaulSmith]

UK will be fine.
The Pope experiment is over though.
