After five days and the same amount of times hearing 'no thank you,' Kentucky reportedly finally has a new coach.

BYU HC and UK alum Mark Pope.

The news came last night, five days after the John Calipari news broke, in which Kentucky ...

  • Got a no from Alabama HC Nate Oats
  • Got a 'firm no' from Jay Wright
  • Got an 'I'm busy' from Bulls HC Billy Donovan
  • Got a no from Baylor HC Scott Drew
  • And a '0% chance' from Dan Hurley.

  • Which led to USC hiring Arkansas's Eric Musselman
  • Which led to Arkansas hiring Calipari
  • Which led to Kentucky hiring Pope
  • Which led to Kentucky fans getting roasted last night for their team hiring a sixth option
