Pope has a fire that Sitake doesn't

Pope is 12 games into his career at BYU.

TPcoug

12/12/19 11:37am

Yes. And he has already exhibited more fire than Sitake

Cougs'16

Fire is not the way to judge the coaches. especially comparing Pope now to Sitake at the same point in his career.

I know it's not the only metric for judging coaches nor is it near the top

He needs to figure out how to score points at the end of games/halfs. It's...

One thing I love about Pope — he coaches the same way up by 30 and tied.

Exactly. We've seen fire from Kalani, but it's only in the Wisconsin and USC

KS needs fire during the week with the team and coaches. When he gives them what

He also has an analytics, data-driven approach, unlike Sitake.

This, I like.

Great point

Don't forget reviewing film

I disagree with this. Sitake has spoken numerous times that they have focused

stlcougs

agreed! signed 4th & 19 fake punt from his own end zone

icecougar

I cringe when he punts on 4th and short from midfield, but the analytics

I have no idea if this is true or not, and neither do you, but that said

Fire is fine. Over-emotional, not so much. Sometimes I think his

lightmann

12/12/19 12:01pm

This has actually been an issue for Kalani as well.

yep

12/12/19 12:21pm

Don’t forget that challenge on failing to gain the 1st down post scrum play

ldssdl

12/12/19 12:26pm

But Kalani has been coaching for 4 years here now.

FatherOFive

12/12/19 12:59pm

You're actually describing Kalani. He's all emotion, no smarts. Pope doesn't

Watch Pope with the players in a close game, he becomes very animated.

lightmann

12/12/19 4:32pm

KS was pretty fiery during the first Utah game...got a penalty, yelled at the

When Pope is getting technical fouls he can tone it down. Until then, keep going

Lance71

Sure he got ticked at a bad call

Ridiculous. Say what you want about his

Acorn

His coaching and recruiting are mediocre. So is his fire

What Kalani needs is consistency...

Sitake had a fire in his first game against Utah.

Would you say this about Lavell at the same year as Kalani?

Silly. The two best football coaches I've seen in the state of Utah are Whitt &

HootnHoller

You wouldn't call Whitt fiery? I definitely would

Cougs'16

Intense, yes but fiery....nah. He almost never loses his cool.

HootnHoller

12/13/19 1:11pm

LOL. Go watch a Puke practice sometime. It's a series of meltdowns

AZ Coug

This is silly. Sitake should be horribly depressed I guess.

Pope understands how to be a head coach and X’s and O’s of b-ball much more than

A record of 27-24 is about as close to average as one can get. I really like
