I cant ask the question? Even after I said I was glad we got him?

Ill tell you this, if you cant handle a few very well articulated points about not overspending for players.. you dont want to see what I post if this inevitably does nothing because Pope cant coach, we're down $8mil and now we helped buy Pope more time as a lame duck coach.
Nobody GAF what we paid. Doomers like you are always lookin’ for the negative. Smdh

I hate and love the fact that Momcilivic is like the last available player. Hate it because of the stress and all but love it because now we kinda get the last say and the last bump of any team going into the off season lol

That is a reasonable fear, I just couldn’t stand waiting another year of being terrible. I’m staved for a good year. I want Pope to succeed. Maybe if Mom crushes, gets drafted, and we win that this finally gives Pope some juice for the future recruiting scene.
I just don’t think anything will change Pope’s perception with recruits.

As for being starved, we’ve basically sucked (by our standards) for nearly a decade. I’d rather go ahead and suck another year to force the coaching change than to have to put up with 2+ more years of Pope’s mediocrity just because he squeaks out an average year and maybe a sweet 16 this year. If I didn’t 100% feel that Pope has zero chance to win a title here then I’d probably follow your line of thinking but im just done with it at this point. The only way I’d want Pope back another year is if he wins a title next year. Even if he just makes a final four I don’t want him back unless he already has a top 3 class committed by the time we make that final four.

It all comes down to recruiting with Pope and he’s pretty firmly the worst recruiter in Kentucky history. Keeping him will just be going into each year with rosters not talented enough to be legit contenders and having to pray we make some lucky run in the tournament. I’m not putting up with that. We already have to live that way with football. I’ll be damned if I have to deal with that in the sport we are supposed to be the best at.
