...Pope isn't the sexy hire that UK fans wanted. They're upset because 8ish other coaches all declined their position and it landed to a somewhat unproven coach who's never won an NCAA tournament game or even a conference tournament. They were already upset with Calipari because he struggled to win games in the NCAA tourney (they were 2-8 in their last 10 NCAA tourney games).
They're used to getting top 5-10 recruiting classes every year loaded with 5 star players and multiple first round NBA draft picks. He's already in the hot seat before even putting a practice together and you think he's going to be dumb enough to bring some 3 star former utah high schoolers with him to Lexington?
