This could be a great hire. We have a coach that will put winning first and not the NBA.

This could be a great hire. We have a coach that will put winning first and not the NBA. A very important point. Begok and most every other coach in the country would coach UK only for the money. Few of them cared about our fans, tradition or history. Begok was the worst and he made fun of our fans, brand and program. Players First was a slam on UK because it never was who we were. Players before him put UK first and became part of the program and fan base.
I think that will return with Coach Pope and look for many of our great players who tuned out Begok to return.

Now that this is done, I'm happy to be able to follow the program and not have to look at that f%@!ing snakeoil salesman.

The decision has been made. I’ll give Pope my full support and cheer on the Big Blue again like the old days. Begok be forever gone!

I will be rooting on an hoping it works out.
Glad he's a UK guy but the man has no credentials, was worse than his predecessor at BYU , and never won a ncaa game. He was at BYU 4 years. No results, a Tubby level recruiter (at least ao far) , no defense.
He runs a very fun 3 pt orientated offense which will be fun to watch. He is clearly extremely smart , as straight edge as you can get (even more so than Drew), he will be a much better game coach. Probably game best shot at getti g Reed back other than Rick..
I guess I'm starting to warm up to this maybe partly due to Pitinos message and partly because we'll....... I got no choice its not changing.

Would not have been my first choice or my second or third or so on. But now that he is our coach, it's good to know we once again have someone leading our program that has a heart and an appreciation for the tradition of Kentucky Basketball rather than Donut who couldn't have cared less about such heritage or even winning games or championships but was all about being able to brag how many players he put in the nba and making them millionaires. Mark Pope is the Kentucky coach and he has my fullest support!

Pope is definitely not the flashy hire. Personally, watching Kentucky basketball cycle in 5 star talent, just to funnel them to a league I never cared about took the joy out of watching Kentucky. Call me old, but I just want to remember the names of the players. With the transfer portal, and NIL money, Pope can definitely find some 4th or 5th years guys to be competitive. I’d also love to see them bring Rondo on to teach SOMEONE to be a point guard. Pope has always seemed to be the oddball choice at Kentucky. Gangly dude on the 96 team full of flash and vinegar, Pope was in the starting lineup. Here is hoe that he can teach so damn defense to this generation of players. Pope ain’t my first choice, but in a sea of bad choices, I’ll take the Kentucky guy who knows how to lay the 30 point beat down every night I require.
