Cal lost my support about 5 years ago (but the slide started after the 2015 failure).
That said, I am on board with this hire for Kentucky.
Do I think Barnhart was maybe a little early with this hire? Yes.
Do I think he overreacted to all the things Cal represented? Maybe.
He got a polar opposite of Cal. Pope is UK through and through, and will put the university first. This is the Kentucky way. Cal NEVER understood that (and he won't with Ark either).
Do I think this is what our program needed? Ultimately, yes.
Mitch swung for the fences with Drew and Hurley, and didn't want to wait for Donovan (who has turned UK down before, btw). So, if the option was a "Tier 2" guy, why NOT go with one who bleeds blue?
GO CATS
