In fact, I think the average former BYU student wouldn't do it. Kalani Sitake wouldn't. If I were in Pope's shoes, but had the BYU background that I do have, I'd say, 'I have plenty of money already. I haven't finished anything I set out to do at this program's whose locker room I've been touting at the best in the country. I want to do right by the players I recruited, and the school and fans that supported me. I'm staying.'

Other coaches were offered this job, but they declined. It's not hard.
