Kentucky to Hire Mark Pope LOL

[WhereistheDove?]

My point was the caliber of player is guaranteed to be better than what he had at byu and they were still a top 15 O their first Year in the big12.

I do tend to think he’ll do alright there and put a good offense on the court. Cal had great offenses though. I’m a bit more uncertain whether he’ll put a great team on the court or just more good ones. Unfortunately for him, good teams are going to get him fired in a few years if that’s what he does. We shall see.

I wouldn’t go that far!

I would. They are, and I say this without the least bit of hyperbole, bat sh.i.t crazy down there.

has hurley said no yet?

Post this down on the Kentucky board, or better yet, post a rumor that Hurley has agreed to go next year and Pope is just an interim hire.

CL, I think the Kentucky fan base can be enough of a circus act on their own. I doubt they need any coaxing.

I was just over at their board for 30, seem to be coming around on the guy by and large and want to give him a shot.

True, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining. If you even sneeze down there you're likely to draw a half dozen angry (but entertaining) responses:

"@$&! you, you carpetbagging Yankee bastard!!!!"

It’s honestly a good hire, but that delusional fanbase is going to HATE IT.

He’s a guys that will actually will with better talent.

Just spent some time reading the Kentucky basketball forum and it’s hilarious how they are saying they never wanted Hurley. He was a piece of you know what.
Of course that is all after he said no thank you.
They wanted him badly and when he said no, they sit there and trash him and say how bad a coach he is.
All they’re doing is calling UConn cheaters.
If you want an interesting read go over there and you will laugh very hard.
