I wouldn’t go that far!Their fans on social media make the yard look like a safe, sane place.

Thanks for the context and clarification.It's not a "first step". It was several years ago for a celebration of the 1996 championship team he couldn't attend.
I guess it's obvious why it's being passed around as something new though. It does look weird.
It’s a confusing hire, but after reading their fan forum for a few minutes today, I 100% understand why nobody that is already in a good situation would ever want to come near them
I would.I wouldn’t go that far!
is that real?!!! wow, that is crazy.
The best part is the BYU basketball in the background. Really cringe.Holy Cringe! Comes off like a desperate stunt, almost WWE. Read the room guy. The fans already hated the hire before you went all cosplay with your Captain Kentucky skit. Maybe those weirdos will lap it up.
I was being facetious.I would.
The stalking and threatening behaviors by their fans during this coaching search have crossed lines that should never be crossed.
The worst thing for Kentucky fans is how utterly small-time they look, and they know it.I see two big issues with this hire (and I actually tend to think he’s a pretty good coach).
1) The fanbase will have zero patience because they already think he isn’t good enough. If he’s not immediately at the top of college bball, they’re going to take that as confirmation and BBN is going to implode.
2) The negative recruiting writes itself. Hey big time recruit, you want to go play for this guy that Kentucky didn’t even want as their coach?
This is also why they were never going to draw a big time coach.I see two big issues with this hire (and I actually tend to think he’s a pretty good coach).

Those people are completely unhinged and whacked…
It’s low key a brilliant hire, but are they going to be patient enough for a real rebuild or are they going to can him 3 years in for another one and done type coach?It’s honestly a good hire, but that delusional fanbase is going to HATE IT.
I think it’s actually a video that was taken a few years back when Pope wasn’t able to go back to Kentucky when they were honoring the 96’ Championship team.
Sorry for jumping the gun- as I said was super strange video- lol.
They already have threads asking how soon it will be until they fire him lolIt’s low key a brilliant hire, but are they going to be patient enough for a real rebuild or are they going to can him 3 years in for another one and done type coach?
a brilliant hire? no tournament success, got high in rankings by gaming efficiency metrics? no thanks.It’s low key a brilliant hire, but are they going to be patient enough for a real rebuild or are they going to can him 3 years in for another one and done type coach?
UK fans, Lakers fans & Brazilian soccer fans.Kentucky fans have this unique blend of entitlement and psychosis that I've never really seen anywhere else. And I can't turn away.
The benefits to that job when it came to fielding a winner used to be much higher than they are now. The calculus for an entrenched coach has changed dramatically and I think UK fans are finally coming to that realization.The worst thing for Kentucky fans is how utterly small-time they look, and they know it.
When JC abruptly retired and got KO as his nepotism hire, it made us look small time, as if we were afraid of a national search resulting in this sort of outcome, i.e. getting lukewarm interest and panic-hiring a C-lister. Kentucky is steering directly into it, which is even worse.
The Boneyard is a safe place.Their fans on social media make the yard look like a safe, sane place.
