I actually think he may be a good hire, but just the pedigree vs the other candidates….thats quite a jump down

Barnhart can’t fricking compel a big name to come there no matter how much fans scream. He’s screwed but it ain’t like he’s got a bunch of bullets in his bandolier. People for some reason don’t want to jump into that pressure cooker regardless of the tradition.

Pope seems to be a good coach.

But this is quite funny

I assume UK fans aren’t excited about this.


They might be a tad salty. This is Pope's coaching history on Wiki right now.

I think Kentucky was searching for a coach who was the total opposite of the NBA factory one and done type program they had become...

Have to assume part of the plan now is instead of overpaying for the coach, overpay for the players.
