make it worth it. Pope has been here a couple years, has a 7 year extension and probably feels confident he can continue winning and keep the job for many many years. If he goes to a school like Arizona there would be tremendous pressure to succeed. Even though Pope might feel like he would succeed there you never really know if the situation is going to be as conducive to success. Higher risk.
IOW, 15 years at BYU may be better than 5 years at a school like Arizona if he also feels more at home here.
