Young has to be able to choose his own staff. Don't force anyone on him. If he wants Burgess...I am sure he can get him

Jay Drew on Burgess as an assistant HC. Interesting.

Seems like a no brainer for both sides, if KY wants to bring him on. But if it

They didn’t say anything about Kentucky wanting him

This is going to be an ongoing problem.

Yep. 😂

Weird that coaches didn’t want their guys to play for Pope when Pope’s players seem eager to follow him around.

It's dumb. Comes from Carlsens dad. BYU only offers 1 or 2 Utah kids per year,

I know for a fact that it wasn't just Carlsen's dad

Adrielle

Same here. I have no idea if it was justified, but def not the only one.

Are you saying that you have...RECEIPTS?!

One hickup from Chandler and he will sit on Pope’s bench. Pope too ruthless

Local kids loved Burgess. Not so much with Pope. And it's not just Carslen's dad

At least one person on this board is doing the math.

Wait, Burgess is making 255K? That's less than some players, probably.

It was that coach from Indiana who first and foremost emphasized Utah getting

I’m just not buying all these little negative things I’m hearing about Pope

It's not just now coming out. This has been for a while.

Link? Saying it repeatedly doesn’t make it true.

BlackBart

Apr 16, 9:38pm

The rumors had been out there for a couple years. I heard some of this myself, and not just from CB

Adrielle

Apr 16, 9:48pm

Emery, Glover went public. Plenty of behind the scenes from BYU and UVU

ochobeeguy

Apr 16, 10:05pm

What did Glover say? I have not heard

I've been saying this for over a year now, but admittedly I have a neighbor in the AD who has shared a few things and

Oh, it's a bad thing

charles

Apr 16, 9:59pm

It is just who he is. He has goals and he wants to achieve them. He is a very driven individual and was great while here

TheLoneCougar

Apr 16, 10:05pm

What does that have to do with giving a shout out to the program that helped

fredetteaboutit13

Apr 16, 10:42pm

Why do you bother to be personally upset by it?

Michicoug

Apr 17, 5:02am

When all you care about is #1, do you think you're going to give a shout out to your previous school?

TheLoneCougar

Apr 17, 5:20am

I dunno. His postseason record alone makes him not great. Plus

Y'sAsterisk

Apr 16, 11:57pm

Mark Durrant's take on this on BYU Sports Nation was very similar

ssa

Apr 17, 7:57am

That is how I take it too. I don't love how he treated us, but it shouldn't be that surprising.

TheLoneCougar

Apr 17, 8:53am

Can’t be mad about any of it. We loved it when he did it to UVU. We would love

Alan Schaefer

Apr 16, 11:13pm

I’d say it’s a bad thing. I know lots of high achievers like Pope who are

BlooCoug

Apr 16, 11:27pm

I mean it seems like 3/4 of the people in the business world fit this

Alan Schaefer

Apr 16, 11:48pm

I’d say more like 30%, unless you’re in consulting, investment banking, private

BlooCoug

Apr 16, 11:55pm

I meant just me experience. Hopefully I’m just overly cynical.

Alan Schaefer

Apr 17, 12:43am

I'm not disagreeing with you. My point is we've kinda known this is Pope. So set expectations accordingly.

TheLoneCougar

Apr 17, 5:20am

No it is a bad thing. It’s classless

BYU '80

I don't disagree with you.

TheLoneCougar

Pope will get the karma coming to him. Everybody that ruthless does

fan32

Apr 17, 7:22am

Karma for doing what wrong? Not saying thank you?

TheLoneCougar

Apr 17, 9:25am

To me, that’s the only thing he did wrong. Could’ve figured out a way to say

Alan Schaefer

Apr 17, 9:48am

I just don't think it is in his character. I honestly don't think he thinks BYU helped him at all. It was his hard work,

TheLoneCougar

Apr 17, 9:51am

Well I hope he’s not that arrogant or narcisstic. I will say I stopped listening

Alan Schaefer

Apr 17, 8:32pm

I'd speculate that of the things he butted heads with the AD about was NIL

BackPacker

Apr 17, 8:18am

Agreed. Be happy for him landing his dream job.

I like Pope, but these little gripes have been well documented for years about

It’s been talked a lot that many HS and AAU coaches were not fond of Pope. Also

Why not bring Juddy back

jlhazlewood

How much was BYU paying Burgess before he left?

Zoobieman

Apr 17, 3:33am

Just pot stirring by Jay. I highly doubt there's ANY basis to this. Pope don't want Burgess on UK's staff & I doubt
