Apparently several East Coast schools are already gunning for Pope, particularly

He'll be gone in 3 years I feel.

ToasterChive

2/23/20 10:52pm

Not if we have better security. We can keep him safe!

Benfica1

He said he had other offers when BYU came calling.

byujdmba

2/23/20 10:55pm

I am guessing those offers were lower tier Mwc schools not

cougarfann888

2/23/20 11:14pm

Rumor was possibly UNLV

CaliWG

2/24/20 9:04am

If that was the offer bit lower tier but still not a wake Forrest

cougarfann888

2/24/20 9:11am

With everything going on in Vegas I'm just waiting for UNLV to get the right coaches in place and then explode.

If BYU let’s Pope get away after 1 year I will never give BYU sports another $$$

BYU Fan

2/23/20 11:07pm

Would be frustrating, but if someone paid big money...

Dr T-bone

2/24/20 8:05am

At some point we just have to decide if we really want to compete

BYU Fan

2/24/20 8:10am

Not much space for BYU fans between "fire the coach" and "he's too good for us"

cougarnw

2/24/20 10:38am

This is an interesting line: "I don't think we can compete with Gonzaga & SMC...

Life changing money is very hard to turn down

3/5/20 6:17am

80k is the 12th highest paid coast in NCAAM. I love Pope, but I don't think he

coug almighty

3/5/20 6:28am

Link? that is unbelievable.

BDAWG

3/5/20 7:49am

I doubt Pope will be gone after this season

jhingman

2/23/20 11:09pm

But this is also a reason to jump ship if the offer comes

cougarfann888

2/23/20 11:15pm

Yep, I just hope Pope isn't chasing the dollar like other coaches

jhingman

2/23/20 11:23pm

That's how Urban Meyer built his reputation. A senior-laden bowling Green

DJROSS

2/24/20 7:36am

I think he stays awhile. He’s still got kids in school.

Traveshamockery

2/23/20 11:21pm

He will be a hot prospect after this years turnaround.

Cthack1

2/23/20 11:33pm

I hope the only teams he leaves for is Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, etc... pay him

Where you hearing this info?

gmoney7

2/24/20 12:58am

Voices in his head

travelcoug

2/24/20 2:05am

He won't be going anywhere, the right people want him right here.

Bluedarts

2/24/20 1:22am

Not a bad thing. BYU needs to hire guys good enough to be plucked away by better

Backcountry

2/24/20 4:34am

Yeah but there are only so many lds head coaches. And only so many of those that

ColonelMustard

2/24/20 10:38am

Pope has put together a really good staff and is priming the pump for the next..

icecougar

2/24/20 11:01am

True. And Madsen might turn out good as well

ColonelMustard

2/24/20 12:40pm

Great place to go if ever winning matters

BYU '80

2/24/20 4:38am

His expectations at Wake would be to finish in the top half of the ACC, not be better than Duke and UNC.

Conan

2/24/20 4:52am

Wake fired Dino Guadio in 2010 after he had a 61-31 record and 2 straight NCAA

BYUlv

2/24/20 8:31am

I agree I may have had a typo. I think it’s career suicide

BYU '80

2/24/20 1:39pm

Two transfers from UVU followed Pope and had to sit out this season.

CrimWalCoug

2/24/20 5:30am

I think you should only worry if something happens to Calipari

Solomon Levi

2/24/20 5:39am

Your favorite Doctor, Chris Hill, used to say

Solomon Levi

2/24/20 5:37am

Or so he had heard.

coug almighty

2/24/20 6:46am

After reading CB I'm pretty sure I know which school will be coming for Pope.

Ghost

2/24/20 9:07am

^^ should be on original post

Ghost

2/24/20 9:08am

Anyone gunning for our football?

MajorZeus

2/24/20 5:51am

Bundle them, great idea.

coug almighty

2/24/20 6:46am

Youre on a roll today

Backcountry

2/24/20 9:33am

No worries, I'm sure BYU is ready to pay him over 75% of his market value.

vagabonder

2/24/20 6:08am

That’s what the ensign peak funds are for

Cougz19

2/24/20 6:20am

Lol careful. I got banned for similar comments.

Shore10

2/24/20 6:48am

No you didn’t

BYU_Hoops

2/24/20 7:42am

Excuse me. A warning. And my comment was deleted.

Shore10

2/24/20 7:45am

Many schools wanted Rose as well. Pope may stay. People want Few as well.

Benfica1

2/24/20 8:26am

I really hope Pope talks to Few about why he's stayed.

Ned Schneebly

2/24/20 9:47am

IMO, no school worth leaving BYU for (for Pope) is offering him the position after 1 good year at BYU.

RdF3

2/24/20 8:41am

I wouldn’t blame him one bit if Kentucky came calling

CaliWG

2/24/20 9:09am

Links?

Ned Schneebly

2/24/20 9:47am

Matt Montague, former bball player

trom2foot3

2/24/20 10:22am

I think we’re fine for awhile

gmoney7

2/24/20 11:22am

I'm on the Pope train, but 1 year with a pretty loaded roster is not enough to land him big big offers yet...

crm48

2/24/20 10:05am

To be fair, doesn’t Pope deserve some credit for “loading” the roster?

theozfam

2/24/20 12:50pm

To some extent...he obviously convinced Yoeli to stay and got Jake to come back... but all of those kids were Rose

crm48

2/24/20 1:59pm

and picked up Barcello, so he was responsible for 3/5 starters

Hinta

3/4/20 6:44pm

Loaded? Looks that way now but we were all talking about how bare the roster was

akmewg

3/4/20 10:31pm

What other teams?

puntersarepeople

2/24/20 10:27am

Kearns High School.

Benfica1

2/24/20 11:09am

He's now a proven commodity and BYU needs to compensate him accordingly

Croweater

2/24/20 11:24am

I'd give him another 2-3 years before designating "proven"

FatherOFive

2/24/20 2:35pm

Cougarboard is hilarious.

Gentleman Stan

2/24/20 11:32am

Hey!!’ He played 25 years ago and Matt has to be in the know about east coast teams and what pope is thinking

intrepidus89

2/24/20 11:46am

I'm telling you guys, there are some deep pockets that will keep him here.

Pope’s first stint there was terrible. Why would he want to go back?

dchandle15

3/4/20 8:49pm

BYU > Wake

idcougarfan

3/4/20 10:08pm

We won't be as good next year, then reality will sink in for everyone

Hill4Heisman

3/5/20 11:32am

The reality being? That no one wants Pope, that he isn't a good coach. I agree
