100% correct. If this happened every 5 years at BYU it would mean success.
Some fans are simply delusional.

This was his chance. He was always going to take it if it came.

Kentucky was apparently a stepping stone to Arkansas for Calipari

He's just doing what any coach would do. Look what Calipari is doing to UK's

Yep. We didn’t mind when Pope did it to UVU when it benefited us. Sucks to now

the scarier part now is it looks like we'll be hiring an asst coach, not a head coach from elsewhere

LaVell was an assistant with no HC experience when hired. It could work out.

Nah we’re whining that those “CFB powers” are on a path to kill the sport.

They're not asking, they will take. Either comply or get in the bread line.

It won’t. It’ll take time but no one will care about a minor league in 20 years

How is Pope “taking it to BYU as he leaves?”

Just think of all the tournaments wins he gave us to remember him by.

Well, he didn't do his job in the tourney, but I'll let it slide.

He did break a contract with BYU no? So there’s that…

A buy out provision would be part of the contract.

Not a stepping stone. a cul-de-sac. BYU has typically been the end of the road.

I definitely know about them, but coaches contracts don't have them
