I did and he had a FANTASTIC 3rd year at Florida. I am hoping that Pope has a fantastic 3rd year at UK!
Hubert Davis out?

- Start date
I didn’t say I want anyone fired yet. Two years is just too early unless they are crazy like BCG. I get what you mean now.
You could say you hate him and Florida and he's a sleazy little prick and probably a sex offender and I agree with all that but this simply isn't true he's a great coach
Why do you care if people say golden is a good coach? I mean he clearly is
Do you have a precise number of the people that you would like to fight? What part of the World Wide Web will these epic battles be held?
Well at schools with high expectations. We give them extensions.
I think they'll get Otzelberger which will be one less candidate for UK when Pope is let go next year.
Oats would leave bama for Unc in a heartbeat and then everyone will really hate him
I agree Oats wants a blue blood job but UNC is even more anal than Barnhart when it comes to hiring coaches with controversy around them.
Calipari was a mega brand name. You don’t run them off because of a few years down. We went a lot longer with him than we’d usually go. Tubby had a title a final four 4 elite 8’s and 5 SEC titles out of 8 years and then he had a few down and a final four drought and he was gone.
No we don’t ever allow a coach without any success like Pope to hang around for years and years before we move. We have never done that.
There's no more controversy with oats as with cal. Be nice if we'd beat them to the punch and hire him
Golden had a clear trajectory that went up and stayed up. Pope as a 13 year coaching history. Golden is like 14 years younger than Pope lol. He took SF to their fist tournament since the 90’s. He went to Florida and immediately improved their team and went up to a championship beating excellent teams on the way. He’s now another top seed after losing his top player and has less resources than Pope. He also owns Pope badly and controlled and dominated him, not even giving him a 5 second lead.I did and he had a FANTASTIC 3rd year at Florida. I am hoping that Pope has a fantastic 3rd year at UK!
Now he’s likely possibly headed to another final four which I hope not. All being far, far young then pope.
Pope has a 13 year history that is low-mid and he’s never come close to good success with no titles conference or national, no top recruits signed, a average-bad winning %, and a slew of major blowouts. He’s also at Kentucky, Golden is doing that at Florida.
Why are you debating this?
Tubby never went back to the final four after his first season. Not to nit pick, just that your post sort of reads like you think he had a 2nd final four after the 1998 championship.
Tubby went Natti, E8, 32, 16, 16, E8, 32, E8, 32, 32.
Tubby was a good coach but after the 2005 team fell short of the FF it was finally obvious his ceiling was an E8 and his floor was the 2nd round.
I definitely agree with your final point. I understand a 3rd year but if it’s more of the same i’ll be frustrated if the atheltic department doesn’t make a move next off season.
I’d do it this off season tbh. Popes been a head coach for 11 years. Basketball people can tell.
I agree but people think he's shady because of the Miller and Holloway incidents. Barnhart wouldn't hire Cal when tubby left because of UMass and Derrick Rose. The second time around they finally made the correct hire. Hopefully history repeats itself.
We may be better off waiting a year or the guy who hired Pope will be hiring his replacement. That’s terrifying.
Until/if Pope loses tomorrow I will be posing as a UNC fan on twitter replies sayin I want Pat Kelsey.
My friend. Tubby Smith resigned after the 2006-07 season. Derrick Rose didn’t play at Memphis until the 2007-08 season. Where did you get your chronology of events from? Because it is incorrect.
Yes you're right my timeline is mixed up I apologize. People initially thought he was dirty because UMass had it's ff vacated. Rose test scores just added fuel to the fire.
I think giving Roy any credit for that season is disingenuous especially considering Roy went 32-30 his last 2 seasons.
You know you can ignore the threads that apparently hurt your feelings right?Cool! Let’s make 1,000 threads about it!
He’s a good coach. The next Pitino?! I doubt that very seriously. Quite comical statement if we’re being honest.
cow I only say this because I think you’re okay so it’s just a suggestion. I’d stop…
@jedwar Can you delete this guy’s post before it shows up on Message Board Geniuses and represents us all?
lol yes you counted the Covid year. Roy Williams is one of the five best coaches in the history of college basketball. He was there.
Why'd they do it before? Why does duke?
They were never getting in trouble. I really don't understand why those two hire in the family. There is some reason.
He did preface it as before last season. Before last season Golden was 97-65 (59.9 %) overall and 40-29 (58%) in two seasons at Florida. He has had a great two years since with great rosters since but it is yet to be seen what he does going forward.
Ah man, this is the first thread anyone’s ever threatened to beat me up in. I’ve been here a long time as well.
