Get ready for The same word salad of “we’re a young team” “pace of play” and a bunch of worthless statistics. Blah blah blah
Pope is in over his head.
Pope is in over his head.
Post game press conference
- Thread starter Indycat22
- Start date
“This is unacceptable, but is fixable. Don’t give up on these guys. They’re a special, special group and this is part of their beautiful journey together. We will make you proud BBN”
The only thing I want to hear out of Pope is “I resign.”
And he will be an *** to Tom. Did that a ton last year after butt kicking.
Why would anyone want to listen to Pope after this loss? He's a lost cause
Probably won’t mention Kansas starting PG was injured. Guess that excuse only works for Pope.
Love pope. But this experiment is over. Turn it around like right now or move on.
It will take Pope ripping the guys like any great coach in America would do, but he won't do that.
Pope isn't turning around chit because that is well beyond his abilities. Time to fire his *** and hire someone that is actually qualified to lead college basketball's winningest program.
Winningest program
Not for long
If you still get your self worth from Kentucky basketball success, please get some help
Pope is not going to be fired this year and I doubt he resigns
Pope is not going to be fired this year and I doubt he resigns
If this game is any indication of how the season plays out….he sure as hell is going to get fired.
I don't agree with this. I think he IS capable of turning it around, but won't because of his ego. The man isn't dumb, he just wants to prove to everyone that HE'S the head coach calling all the shots. The same reason he stopped implementing his coach (Fueger?) the first year. He ordained the guy an offensive genius, the offense looked GREAT, and then it just stopped. Pope stopped talking to the media. It his way or the highway.
Why do you think that? Seriously, show your work to the class because your logic for keeping a mediocre coach is some defeatist bullsh*t. Or you’re just trolling.
Kepnang has got to be 35 yrs old.
Idk but I like him over Moreno. Play that grown man as much as he can take.
I don't know what was worse: Pope vs Self or Republicans vs Democrats in the mid-term election.
You can not be serious. Kepnang may be the most useless big man I have ever seen play in college. He literally has a body like a dozer and can't do a single thing. He can't defend, can't rebound, and sure as heck has zero basketball skills. He also doesn't appear to have even a decent basketball IQ. He is literally worthless.
Moreno is a better basketball player no doubt. Frank has a bigger presence down low tho and he hustles. Hes just not that good at basketball unfortunately.
Im just extremely over players that play with zero fire. Frank at least looks like he cares.
Frank managed to finger roll a layup so hard that it spun out of the rim
Everytime Frank got the ball he wouod make a decent move and get a great shot. He just cant make them.

Having a dead man walking as your coach is only going to make terrible recruiting even worse. The only "quick fix" is a homerun hire for a coach and throw money at a loaded roster for next season.
In all fairness, he probably shouldn't be eligible anyway. LOL
He yelled at Brandon Garrison last year and we beat St. John's and Indiana. Pope knows what he's doing
They need to close the door on college basketball and rebrand it as a semi-professional league and start all over. With the courts overruling NCAA rules, what is the point of having the NCAA?
The horrendous play of Kepnang immediately after Moreno picked up his second foul, imo was the single biggest pivot point in the blowout.
(wasn’t just Kepnang as I’m referring to turnovers on poor passes into him as well)
Yep and once againg the INSANITY of the "Uh Oh hes got two fouls I better sit him" coaching nonsense kills a game. I'll say it for the 1,000,000,000 time . . . that is the dumbest most illogical thing in sports. The fallacy of foul trouble and that the solution to is to SIT MY PLAYER DOWN is the craziest thing ever. The only crazier about it is the fact everybody goes along with it!!!!!
Somebody explain to me how taking a guy out of the game to make sure later on the MIGHT make you TAKE HIM OUT OF THE GAME makes sense???? You just Gaurantee that your player receives the penatly of fouling out whether they really would have or not.
They're not going to throw away the next recruiting class for who??? Who would want the job after that?
Anyone listening now to the postgame on the radio? Goose just said this team had speed lol. What’s he smoking?
I started a thread the other night about this, after the Kansas game. I expect Tom Leach and Dick Gabriel to be sunshine pumpers, but I expect more from Goose. He’s a former national champion, he knows this team and coach are a joke. He doesn’t have to say it like that, but he needs to quit trying to find the silver linings in this disaster and just shut up.
Goose has basically called this team trash. He’s coping like the rest of us.
He really does, it’s strange. I guess once you sign that JMI deal you are team positivity at all costs.
