That is indeed sad...and probably not true. The ceiling is way higher at BYU.

Look at the facilities, the conference, the history. Can you quickly tell what conf UVU plays in? Pope could pack the MC and take BYU back where it’s been and belongs

POLL: Would you support the hiring of Mark Pope if it meant that Dave Rose is fired?

I would support the firing of rose, I wouldn’t support the hiring of Pope

Crowd Factor

Nothing exciting about hiring Pope

Remigius

1/7/19 5:43pm

He'd probably be my 3rd option

thebruce

1/7/19 5:45pm

Who are the best (feasible) lds options?

LiveCoug

1/7/19 5:54pm

Alex Jensen and probably mark Madsen

thebruce

1/7/19 8:14pm

And they are feasible?

LiveCoug

1/7/19 8:46pm

I think Madsen is. BYU could offer more money than either one is currently

thebruce

1/7/19 9:03pm

Do we have reason to think that either one of them would be a good HC?

dilbert

1/7/19 9:34pm

Both are well experienced as assistants and both have been head coaches

thebruce

1/7/19 9:42pm

Totally true. Still, hiring either guy would be way more about hope than actual

I don't see it as a big gamble. I think if we were a borderline NCAA tournament

thebruce

1/7/19 11:32pm

That's because nobody is considering the possibility that a new guy might fail,

Game Changer

1/7/19 11:50pm

You are wrong. Fans are very aware that a coach could be worse

Can we get coach Bennett from VA, or perhaps Few? 😉

Croweater

I hate this kind of thinking. That we can only choose from people in or around

Now it's your line if thinking that is strange.

it's also how we hired a head bball coach who is 2nd all time in wins at BYU...

I'm getting awfully tired of the Fire Rose talk.

if you think it’s bad now, just wait until BYU fails to get 20 wins this year

Saxa

I'm trying to get a feel for what people are thinking. I'm personally not in

Niiineteeen84

1/7/19 5:57pm

I don't need to support anything. Sports are entertainment that I pay for

Lip Gallagher

1/7/19 5:59pm

Far too many dumb CB fans think BYU coach = Bishop who deserves a sustaining

Especially because most is not intelligent commentary - just emotional posts

Game Changer

1/7/19 6:04pm

Jeesh you guys are extreme and emotional

You want to hear something sad? I have heard that Pope has the 3 best players

YbeatsU

Pope is a moron if he really said that.

Coachspeak 101. I put zero stock in that. Every coach insists he is staying

Game Changer

1/7/19 6:10pm

I agree to an extent but I also wonder if the lack of recruiting restrictions

YbeatsU

1/7/19 6:18pm

If Pope can recruit and turn it into wins, his ceiling is higher than BYU

Y-Zag

1/7/19 6:37pm

Jon Judkins (Coach at Dixie) is a better coach.

Richbyu

1/7/19 6:06pm

Pope wouldn't be my first option

icecougar

1/7/19 7:52pm

I'm genuinely curious.. Who are the best LDS options out there?

LiveCoug

1/7/19 7:56pm

Austin Ainge??

CoolB

1/7/19 10:16pm

No, hire someone better
