While Pope has yet to have an amazing tournament run or Conference championship. I just get the feel and the vibe taht he is a unique coach and BYU's best chance at a final four and NCAA championship. While he has some dorky moments, he just gives me the Lavell Vibe of their is no better person to coach the team.
I loved Bronco, Rose, and Sitake. but none of them have given me that same Elite vibe. But as I stated earlier, Pope has yet to deliver the hardware that I feel like he and his assistants are capable of delivering.
Quickthought: I take it back, Bronco did give me the elite level vibe after the '07 season heading into '08. While I still think his best season was '09, I never had the same vibe as it looked like TCU, Boise, and the '08 Utes were ahead of BYU in '09.
