    :roll: I know you wanted Cal gone, but you absolutely have to have someone lined up if you're going to do that

    And I feel there's a huge gap from the Hurley/Drew/Donovan pipe dreams to....Mark Pope. They could have done better

    Guessing they wanted "a Kentucky guy" and he was the best available? :idk:

    Is there some more prestigious UK alum in the coaching ranks I'm not thinking of?

    Honestly now this Cal power play looks like one for the ages. Will he win big? Maybe/probably not but

    the big checks keep coming

    he’s removed this nut job fanbase from his life, and all the needless stress that comes with it

    and there is egg all over BBN’s face

    the thing is that Pope is almost certainly a better X and O corch than Calipari. but that crazy ass fanbase is going to give him very little leeway.
