It’s hard to tell when a coach will “peak”. I have to wonder if Pope’s best

Agreed. Winning in postseason is SOOOO different from regular season

Because kentuckys prior hires all had postseason chops. All of them

In this current age of NIL, those fans will expect immediate competition for championships. Good luck.

I’m not at all excited to see what he does at Kentucky.

Honestly, I think Pope has made a huge mistake.

He hasn’t. Even if he fails he’s succeeded.

If you mean made a lot of money sure but won't be surprised if Popes look back

He would have had that already. His ambitions and ego with take a healthy hit tho.

“Set for life” financially sure. But if he failed, it would haunt him for life

Competitive people don’t think like that.

Don’t think like what? Are you agreeing with me? I can’t tell

For competitive people NOT trying at the highest level would haunt them for life

More money over a certain threshold is generally a curse. He is over that

Who would give up an opportunity to try the pinnacle of their profession?

It's not that Pope needed to be a BYU lifer, it's more a question of timing.

He will certainly have a short leash. 2 bad seasons and he could be gone.

All the other coaches ahead of him who said “no”?

Not that huge when his income starts with a huge annual salary

Some of the guys that turned that job down already have unbelievable
