National champion coach’s advice for Kentucky 'Get all of that **** out’

Related Topics: Norm Roberts, Kentucky, Mark Pope

Back in October, Mark Pope described his roster as a "Ferrari." Six weeks into the season, that luxury engine is sputtering and looking more like a Pinto. Kentucky is 0–2 against Power Five opponents, losing by a combined 25 points and trailing by at least 20 in both. Both were on national TV, and both left everyone wondering what in the world is going on in Lexington.

The team looks stuck, spiraling, and "discombobulated." The problem isn't X's and O's, it's a culture that isn't aligned. The players and the coach are just not meshing.
