I'd bet that most of Pope's damage to our program is done.

In Attiki, Stewart and tripple we trust. Bring it home boys

In honor of today's events, I am eliminating the word "super" from my vocabulary

I am ammenable to Kevin Young as the next head coach, however what is the reasonable expectation for the length of

Why all the hate on Cougarboard lately, can't we all just get along? Coaches

Yeah, the problem is that BYU is trying to build to the top while others are

Powerbait DPM

7:46am

Burgess v Young

Elvis

7:44am

Both

Crowd Factor

7:45am

Burgess would be more likely to bring recruits with him and we hate that

Belboz

7:45am

Young. Burgess biggest appeal was maybe helping keep recruits. That obviously

cougaman

7:45am

Would Young be a Crowton hire?

Soupie

7:45am

Both of them. Young as HC, Burgess back with a raise and AHC title

Pope brings players from BYU= Sweet. Pope takes guys to KY=

fattycoug

7:42am

There will be players who commit to whoever our new coach is

SUAVO

New to fandom I take it?

Beggar

Remember all the CBers who mocked the thought of any BYU recruit ever being

Buffalo

7:41am

Any idiot would know Chandler is Kentucky level

fattycoug

7:42am

Pope is just recruiting his own players.

WJCougar

7:43am

Watching the “wish him well” crowd finally turn on Pope

YOHONOMOTO

7:40am

People who don't expect Pope try to win at Kentucky are unrealistic

UVU ended up with a better coach. Hopefully we do as well

johnnybyu

7:39am

Yep. As a UVU fan it is deja vu for sure.

TunaOne

7:42am

I don't UVU actually feels things.

zonacougar

7:42am

I find it darkly amusing that "nice guy" BYU is hoping to land the 5* former recruit, who spurned BYU twice, as a coach

Oh No

mjmill All-American

7:36am

Byu needs a lifer, like few, Bennett, drew. I think madsen could have been that

Idacoug

7:33am

I didn't know that. He wanted out as soon as he got in? What's the story

Don Carlton

7:34am

It’s not that he disliked byu, but he was looking to climb ladder…quickly.

Idacoug

7:36am

A coach who wins less than he loses would be less likely to choose to leave

Belboz

7:35am

We had that, his name was Dave Rose and it doesn't work out

OC Coug

7:38am

It’s a huge gamble. BYU’s coaching pool is so small.

Idacoug

7:40am

When you get a lifer, you find yourself wanting someone hungrier, with ambition

RevolutionDeathsquad

7:46am

Sucks to be excited about a recruit for years and never have him play.

At least Adams gave us that one jump shot.

Santiago HIRED pope with toms blessing.

Idacoug

He's never right.

Zombre

Santiago should've left byu a long time ago

Nick emery was right….the erickson family was right….Utah AAU coaches were right

Don Carlton

7:31am

Not sure it would be enforceable, including from a practical standpoint. How do

Shinshin

7:33am

You don't. He still has to pay up if Chandler goes to Kentucky. Doesn't matter

Don Carlton

7:35am

Likely would violate anti trust laws.

Yes bad idea, don't restrict player movement, the only thing that can

Chandler wanted to play for pope not necessarily byu.

cougarfann888

Still don't think it's a good look.

Was it a bad look when he brought uvu players? Or when hill borough

We're all fans, but bashing on Pope for doing his job is crazy. So is letting this stuff ruin your mood or your day.

Assuming Young is the hire, why would Burgess come here as AC again?

Connections from Young, all about connections.

Swag Kazekage

Because Utah sucks.

Sorry, why is Chandler a loser?

Would be funny if he turned into a 20/10 guy. I can see it.

Why can’t Kalani leave and take the QB room.

This is one of the must frustrating moments I’ve had as a BYU fan.

I also tried to be kind in heart. But I hate Pope.

jamesallenrocks

I can't post what I just texted a friend about Pope.

TADOW Truly Addicted User

7:19am

If that’s a realistic goal, then he’s definitely not wrong in this move. But it

blackandblue

7:21am

I'm sure that's the goal. No way it happens.

JuicyJam

7:22am

Collin Chandler averaged 19ppg in high school. He's not a one and done.

mokelembembe

7:22am

Now imagine if he rides the pine in year 1 now (likely) lol.

RdF3

7:23am

IDK he comes home in a couple weeks. A lot of time to get back in shape

Soupie

7:28am

I hope he fulfills his dream but not many guys are one and done.

Don Carlton

7:25am

“Improbable” is being nice

Saxa

7:27am

If true, that family is delusional.

NorthBayCoug

7:29am

They all are, tho.

Madam Pattirini

7:30am

Yep if that is the goal should not have gone on a mission. Unless he is 7'6''

johnnybyu

7:38am

I mean, if D league is his goal, 1 and done it. Very few ever are able to 1 and done it, especially after a mission

Coug

7:41am

Given Pope’s track record for putting players in the NBA, it’s understandable he

Pepe

7:46am

Sad that Chandler didn't even wait around for the new coach

Don Carlton

7:19am

Pope must do what's best for Kentucky. That's his job.

Belboz

7:20am

Yeah I agree. That's true and we would probably all do the same thing.

Don Carlton

7:22am

If BYU hires a coach who puts other schools in front of BYU, we'll be irritated

Belboz

7:23am

True, but BYU fans don’t have to like what he’s doing or cheer for Pope.

JJCoug

7:23am

Why do we always excuse this guy? We would not all do what he's doing. There's

Blueto

7:27am

It’s what Pope has always done. Why change now?

I thought Chandler was still on his mission?

These days, mission kids are contacted all the time. I am sure the family set it up

TADOW

Can contact through parents if nothing else. Yesterday was P day after all.

boorad

People blame NIL on everything. What did this have to do with NIL?

TCuz

7:19am

Without NIL players wouldn’t be hopping into the portal after every season

boorad

7:21am

Sure they would. But again, absolutely nothing to do with Collin Chandler and Pope.

TCuz

7:23am

I don’t remember saying anything about pope or Chandler in my post.

boorad

7:24am

It was clearly a reaction to that. But again, very little of BYU’s current problems have to do with NIL.

TCuz

7:27am

NIL with no contracts and an at will transfer portal are ruining it.

rivercitycoug

7:35am

But I was assured that Kentucky does NOT recruit the same players as BYU.

hardcorecoug

7:15am

They don’t. Kids as good as Chandler normally don’t choose byu. But Chandler did.

RdF3

7:16am

Now Kentucky recruits LDS players because their coach is LDS. “Normally don’t”

I think Pope had already recruited Chandler for years

Players follow coaches, this is not at all surprising.

Could be a deal breaker.

Chandler to Kentucky....

I think you guys are all being taken for a ride.

Let me be the first to welcome Kevin Young to BYU

This is why he ghosted everyone

If Kevin Young comes to BYU, here is what I think will happen.

I don’t know what to think or who to believe BUT …

Late night internet sleuthing. Kevin young follows Ryan Smith on Twitter/X
