Now don't you feel better? BTW, you have some feathers stuck between your teeth.

Pope preaches and practices being 'relentless'. I love that idea.

I don’t know how he could been doubted. Highly recruited high schooler, played

5/21/20 11:05am

His staff is one aspect that isn't discussed enough. You can tell each assistant

BlackBart

This is spot on. Compare this staff's collective resume to the previous staff.

And that is what you want. You want a coach who is populating

I doubted him because when he was at BYU I felt like our big guys never progressed and we recruited guys that just

5/21/20 11:21am

My lone doubt was his commitment to defense. At UVU, he seemed more like a run

Agreed...hard to see how anyone could not have considered him a great hire right

He might be Tom Holmoe's best hire.... EVER.

Agreed, but Volleyball, baseball and other hires are really excellent coaches.

Watching Pope makes me dislike Kalani more and more.

5/21/20 11:08am

I didn't want to raise this point and I don't dislike Kalani at all

BlackBart

5/21/20 11:10am

Yep, it will be interesting how things shake out, but the Pope hire

If Holmoe isn't happy why the extension?

mudpupper

5/21/20 11:21am

Time?

The problem is, Holmoe just extended Kalani at the end of last season.

JJCoug

5/21/20 11:23am

If I had to guess, I would say that in Holmoe's mind, Kalani did just enough

To Kalanis credit he has beaten some good teams. It seems salvageable to me.

If we would have beat Teledo, South Florida, Hawaii he would be a hero.

Eating crow as well, and gladly!

Not me - A highly recruited basketball player with no ties to Utah told me

"managed a short-handed team early on" ...there's a little more to that

That's great but you have some crazy insane expectations as a BYU fan.

5/21/20 12:16pm

I won’t apologize for having high expectations. I’m glad Pope exceeded them and

Saxa

I’m very impressed too but it’s been one season. Great start and potential? Yes.

True to my boardname, I'm also here to eat crow

Happily, I can say that i was sold on Mark Pope
