I think rose was given other opportunities at some point. Or at least had looks.

He is going to have to achieve something with BYU to get a high profile job like

You've got to interview to make contacts.

Makes sense. Also allows him to see what other programs are doing and meet staff

Is it still, though? Are they about to get hammered by the NCAA, or not?

Interviewing isn't saying you want to take the job necessarily

2 interviews though?

He will leave eventually 😩

Agree one interview says I will listen and let future programs know I will

I think Kentucky will come calling in the next couple of years if Pope continues

Was there speculation he might be another Mark Few? They’re both named

So is he sending mixed messages to AB & Haarms?

Maybe the Qualtrics guy & NuSkin can pony up some $$ to keep him

If he leaves this quick, he'll be dead to me.

Why did anyone ever assume Pope would be like Few or a BYU lifer?
