Made sense for him to take it - not necessarily for them to offer it.

I assumed that Kentucky would be looking for someone with a longer track record of success versus what we've seen from Pope at BYU. And I assumed that Kentucky would have a lot of other options that would be ahead of Pope.

I don't blame him for taking the job - it totally makes sense for him. It just didn't necessarily make sense for Kentucky.
