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

2 interviews though?

bigbossbyu

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

Here for a good time not for a long time

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

So is he sending mixed messages to AB & Haarms?

Sale

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

cougarmeister

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