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

This is all incredibly embarrassing for that fanbase and school, they seriously got put in their place.

Good coach entering a very hard situation with unrealistic expectations.

They had to hire someone….and couldn’t risk getting turned down AGAIN!

Though it would be funny if it continued for another week

He has a lot of alumni support, and is a former captain of their 96 title team. He has Pitino’s blessing. That will give him some rope. Let’s see how he recruits.

What were they going to say, we struck out with our 4th and 5th choices too?

It's an improvement over Calipari. Nobody knows what will happen. They have a huge payroll, he might win big there.

Honestly i think this is a good direction for that program. He may not be the recruiter Cal is but im betting hes a better coach.

Can’t wait for the end of year 3 when he takes a Marquette type job to get out of Lexington.

It’ll be interesting to see how much he utilizes the portal and mixes youth with experience. They might well end up being a better team in March in time.

Yup. Fanbase is also part of the problem. For all the crap we get their fanbase is seriously toxic.

They could’ve hired the real pope and I’d still pick Hurley.

Reminded me of the Speaker election a few months ago.

Pope is 100% using this as a stepping stone to a better, bigger gig
