Honestly Pope interviewing twice with AZ takes the shine off him a little for me

would you take a different job that paid you an extra million of two?

Nat Gas Man

4/14/21 9:28pm

It depends on a lot of factors. What I make currently, career goals etc

Grit for Brains

4/14/21 9:30pm

A lot of factors? For an extra $1-$2 million? No way

Alpi Gusto

For Pope it very well would probably be the best move/easy decision. Would wreck

Grit for Brains

Shouldn't BYU be an attractive job though?

TNT

Of course he can leave. But would take the shine off him. Why wouldn't it?

Grit for Brains

If you're already making 1 million, another million really doesn't matter.

$1MM isn't what it used to be, so no I disagree.

Not necessarily. I’m almost the same age as Pope and make good money. So for 50%

LOL. Let the guy interview elsewhere. Did you just expect him to never see what

I have no problem with that. I even said as much in my post. You have to listen.

Grit for Brains

4/14/21 9:31pm

Mark Few never interviewed anywhere. This makes it very clear he will not be

I think we like to think that BYU is the dream job for people. Always sucks when

the job offers millions more over time... I would agree with you if pay were similar.

HarlemCoug

I don't disagree. But IF, big IF he were to leave it would be a lesson for BYU

Grit for Brains

I'm not convinced we want to avoid climbers. Can't be scared that the pretty girl will find someone better (even

HarlemCoug

4/14/21 9:47pm

I get that. But BYU, with missions etc we need 5yr coaches at min.

Grit for Brains

4/14/21 9:49pm

I say let's swing for the fences by always grabbing the best coach we can. If he jumps ship after 2 years, then so be it

HarlemCoug

4/14/21 9:51pm

Then we should hire below average coaches.

Pope can be our Urban

That's fine. Is there a pipeline of successful LDS bball coaches to take over?

Grit for Brains

4/15/21 7:28am

Does Pope care about a stable of LDS coaches?

Cougstreak

4/15/21 7:33am

If Holmoe is smart (and he is), he's already looking at who can come next

krindorr

Truly hope it just gets BYU to do what we need to to keep him. Hope that’s wha

We want coaches who are good enough to leave for better jobs, but don’t actually do so

Fandom makes us irrational. You’d do the same in your career too. And it’s his career.

Wut? This kind of stuff is going to happen

TNT

4/14/21 9:35pm

Nearly everybody is a job hopper. And we don’t pay close to enough to prevent it.

TCuz

4/14/21 9:35pm

Good call. TNT agrees with the new father on CB

TNT

4/14/21 9:36pm

You need to rethink your position relative to the CBB landscape

I'm just a fan of people having the freedom to pursue their happiness, not mine.

EtTuKalante

4/14/21 9:38pm

I agree. BYU can’t afford to hire job hopping coaches. They need coaches who are

Make it a church calling. Oh wait. It pretty much is

We have like 4 possible candidates at a given time. Not in position to be beggars here.

TCuz

Grateful that he’s wanted. Would not be grateful if he left after a few years &

BlooCoog

We can only afford to hire winners, and Pope is a winner. I hope he stays forever, but am not delusional

It's OK...Mark #2 is waiting in the wings...

Wally Murph

I’m OK w/ him interviewing once. But twice? That tells me he won’t be here long

Hinta

4/14/21 10:20pm

I don't expect him to be loyal unless BYU is loyal to him.

I must have missed something...he interviewed for the AZ job?

zerome4sooners

Did he proactively apply or did AZ reach out to to him? If they reached out, then of course you interview.
