Interesting the way NIL has changed the game

What’s happening at byu isn’t unique to byu. Look at the entire landscape.

blackandblue

6:37am

I do hope you're right on that. I do think our kids were all encouraged to jump in the Portal, though

SinkingQuffa

And just like Pope, money and me above all else. Nothing else matters

Forbidden Fruit

Dude, he worked his butt off for us. Money is NOT his prime motivator in life. Look at his family, man.

And if I am — I still have to read the situation through the lens of the post you just responded to.

Off topic, Saunders is gone. Lost cause. Pope disciple and he was sold hard

Forbidden Fruit

No kidding? I hate to lose Saunders. Dang.

DawgHaus

He's a tough, tough loss if true. He's the one that makes me sense a bit of vindictiveness is at play, I'll admit.

This is definitely not true. Yet.

PumaFanatico

A winner like Pope? Are you from the future? Pope couldn't even win the WCC.

JAGA97

SinkingQuffa

BYU '80

Whoop-de-doo. Sounds like coronation material to me. Oh wait — yes, that's already happened.

SinkingQuffa

7:29am

You seem to think pope deserves coronation for much less

BYU '80

7:31am

No. Just some acknowledgment as a dang good HC in his limited time. Who saved our program.

SinkingQuffa

7:33am

If UK plays D for Pope like you, I think they’ll be pretty good next year

Forbidden Fruit

7:38am

Or if they just play D like Pope's teams do. Our best defensive HC since Roger Reid. Hands-down.

SinkingQuffa

7:39am

Pope and Rose are close by the numbers. 79 and 85 avg D efficiency rankings.

Don't be ignorant, man. They have the control board & console entirely before them. And always have.

I don’t hate Pope, I loved him as our coach. My one and only gripe with him now

Sircumference

7:28am

He's presently trying to retain/poach players. I understand (& appreciate) why he ain't thanking BYU right now.
