This is like watching the NCAA Tourney when all the #1 seeds get knocked out early.
Who to UK?
- Thread starter della
- Start date
Rafters: “Sean Miller’s a cheating POS. I don’t want him anywhere near Lexington.”
10 min after it’s announced that Miller’s hired: “I did some research and it turns out it was actually a cyborg arm gone rogue that wrote the check for Ayton.”

The local coverage of this has been complete clown shit. I’m half convinced they’re all just rafters posters that have zero connections, but a lot of theories.
I hope UK is targeting Billy Donovan. The Bulls will be in the play-in game next week. That would mean another week of hilarious narratives shifting every few hours.
No....My wife is losing her mind. Please UK, HIRE SOMEBODY.
What boxes need to be checked?
Keeps fighting when the future is bleak?
Won't back down from a challenge?
Proven to be able to go on a run?
Can go on a long win or go home winning streak?

What if they win and get in? How many more weeks does that add?
Hope you took Pope
I'm warming up to the idea of Pope. He had them competitive in the Big 12 at a school where no poontang is allowed. That seems pretty impressive.
NgL, I didn't know Pope was a (former) Wildcat.
This isn't terrible. Following a legend... and if it doesn't work, then you find the next guy.
.. but I think this could work.

It's been mad whiplash. Every day they have to talk themselves into a new candidate. Hopefully it will mercifully end at some point.
Yeah. Arkansas had no poontang desired and they were completely uncompetitive in the SEC this year.
Wow! Wild to think some Kentucky fans thought they were getting Danny Hurley earlier today.... a few hours later and they're told Mark Pope has emerged as the guy. What a rollercoaster of emotions for the UK faithful.
All aboard the Pope train, losers!
I’m only going to joke on this hire because I know most of their fanbase is going to freak out about it. I actually think he can coach and it could end up being a good hire.
Pitino sealed the deal with his ringing endorsement. “I love Mark Pope and his family and he would be an unbelievable choice.”
Alright, who's ready to start the "Who to BYU" thread? Mark Madsen or Chris Burgess.... that's all I got. Who else can they hire lol?
Disappointing that the coaching search ended so quickly. This thread has been super entertaining.

Panic hire, I don’t understand. Pope would have taken this job in a few weeks.
If you think Mitch wasn't aware of Donovan's interest level before making this decision you're foolish. Just because he didn't publicly turn it down doesnt mean it didn't happen.
Shewwwww I hope Mark and his family don't read RR. What a warm welcome!!
Im thinking Self. It’s been that kind of a week.
Wanting his water bottle to be holding vodka Self? ... to BYU?
I do like Pope's coaching style. Hopefully it translates to the adult table. Also, is it still April 1?
Arkansas goes from Mussleman to Calipari...
UK goes from Calipari to Mark Pope.
World is ending.

The wife is not happy.....I do like Pope's coaching style. Hopefully it translates to the adult table.
I told her, "sounds like Mark Pope, babr…"---She snaps---"Shut up. We aint IU, and hire former players...
Ummmm, baby.....
She mad.
I didn’t think we’d get Donovan, was more saying I didn’t think Mitch would jump the gun so quick on a guy like Pope.
It's harrible the way rafters is melting down! A whole lot of delusional babies who need their social media passes temporarily suspended. Folks like that don't deserve a fine coach like Mark Pope.
my reasonable brain - If you can win at BYU can be successful at UK for 20 years.
my troll brain: this is the funniest sports day of my entire life. What a poverty program, KU is getting all time wins back within 15 games next year

I won’t be surprised if he’s better than Hubert or Scheyer. Haven’t followed him closely, but he seems like a legit Xs and Os guy. Runs some interesting stuff and makes good use of personnel. BYU was better than they had any right to be this year.
