part of Pope's negotiations were around salary pool for assistants,

according to a very good source who I share in FO, Pope was making $200k at UVU and wanted to ensure that his assistants were in that range at BYU. 2 big donors stepped up to help fill the salary gap for Pope (he's near $2 million) and for the assistants.

He probably tried, but Pope would have a hard time selling a BYU assistant coach job...

I prefer him getting head coaching experience than being an assistant

I don't know how you convince an NBA assistant to become a college assistant

Well hopefully your name isn't Tom Holmoe then.

He got a head coaching job instead of assistant, so it sounds like he got a better gig
