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

SinkingQuffa

Forbidden Fruit

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

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.

Vindictive or strangely desperate in case of luring Richie

Rexy Coug

Rose never finished below 3. He had a few 2nd places. Average WCC conf ranking

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.

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

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.

SinkingQuffa

7:38am

I appreciate that but also see bigger time coaches than him manage being gracious to their departing school/fanbase.

Soupie

8:31am

Two things: 1. Are these other poached HCs really coming off as gracious to their former fans, school & employers? 2.

SinkingQuffa

Yes. TH had an official statement including thanks to Pope immediately upon his departure.

Thanx, soupie. As a fan, I appreciate that he wants to remain on the down low as he tries to steal Richie from me. 😉
