I LOVE how this years gritty team is adjusting and coming together after the losses of Harward and Baxter. And of course I love Pope of course. What's not to like? He's got experience and credibility from his own playing career, he's got charisma, which in turn helps with recruiting. And more. But I am not about to crown anyone the Lavell of BB until we first win some postseason games.
Like Zastava my thinking is *IF* BYU can be competitive in the Big 12 within a few years, why go anywhere else? (Other than for a bigger salary of course.) You are already coaching in THE elite BB league and with a brand you love.
