Hire guys who can, not hard to do.

Since Pope can't thank BYU...I'd like to personally thank Kentucky.

zonacougar Medium Rare

BYUfan92

10:45am

Burgess and Peery are targets, according to Robby Mccombs

Have fun being POOR, Pope!

DieHarder

10:45am

So Kentucky hires a coach that can't beat Duquesne, and BYU hires a guy ...

How much does KS make? Will he get a raise now because of this?

ballen

10:43am

Ugh. Don't even suggest it

TNT

10:44am

Sure, if he beats Utah again and wins a bowl game.

rad dawg

10:45am

I think if Kalani comes out and wins 10 games + bowl

1984coug

10:46am

If the reported amount is accurate, it’s around the same that Kalani makes

JOPE

Ws = $s

Benfica1

10:46am

Tom, please learn to beef up the buyouts and protect the program a bit more.

Malcolm Reynolds

10:43am

The reason this is possible is because we had a decent buyout on Pope.

dwhitebud

10:44am

We weren't going to keep Pope from UK and why would we want to with this result

johnnybyu

10:44am

BYU just got 5 million for pope

JOPE

Love maddog - he was not where Young is. Wow

johnnybyu

10:43am

Will Kevin Young bring recruits with him? Durant, Booker, Beal have eligibility

Booker would have to be in okay with backing up Knell for a year.

Is Kevin Young a Brigham Young descendent?

Greg4BYU

10:41am

I like this tidbit...

kccougar VABL

10:41am

Yep that is why his college experience doesn't matter. His basketball experience

spidercoug

10:42am

When your HC has strong NBA ties, you'd love to be his assistant.

mudpupper

10:43am

Burgess would be wise to come learn from a certified genius

puntersarepeople

10:45am

Absolutely! I hope it's someone who can navigate BYU's unique environment... who knows how to work with the Admin.

Scott_Tenorman

Young will stay with the Suns through the playoffs per WOJ

Mostlyaccurate

10:41am

Seems he values relationships much more than Pope does.

Dangerous

10:42am

Hopefully he gets his assistants lined up early, because we need to get on top

cougarfan84

Hopefully the excitement of hiring Young can cause recruits to pause and wait

That's over $4 million per year. I'm assuming there is a step in that salary,

cougarfan84

10:40am

Hopefully the "BYU doesnt pay coaches well" narrative is now dead

BYUfan92

There's only about 20 D1 coaches that make over $4 million/year. It's definitely
