He’d be crazy not to. Gotta see what’s out there and how much they’re paying too

What BYU coach are you talking about?

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

One of the top 3 or 4 jobs in the Western US.

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

Heath Squashwell

2 interviews though?

bigbossbyu

4/14/21 8:39pm

He will leave eventually 😩

Heath Squashwell

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

I hope Mark Pope makes the best decision for himself and his family.

So is he sending mixed messages to AB & Haarms?

Sale

4/14/21 8:17pm

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

4/14/21 8:19pm

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

Me too.

really was hoping he would be like Coach Few

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