The defense was average or close to average until this year.

He wasn’t good enough to get a promotion somewhere else but not bad enough to get fired. When he was bad enough to get fired, kalani took over halfway through the season. Keep in mind that it was only the Arkansas and liberty games that were atrocious on defense at that point in time.

It would sure be nice if the football staff got the same support as Pope.

Also, kalani had a bad year when he's supposed to have a good year.

We literally won more games than most predicted. CB is the only place

Until 2020 the same thing could have been said of the football staff.

No. He was ok the first 3 years but his scheme has been bad and did not attract

Lol it wasn’t a big debacle worth firing him over. Ironically after those first

FieroCoug

Yes it was. He put his cousin over byu football program. Knowing he sucked.

Idacoug

Yet in those years he went 29-9.

29-9 isn’t “great.” By any measure.

By BYU standards against those schedules it is. Our previous best season

A 3 year average of 10-3 (well, 9.7-3) is better than Detmer's 3 seasons as a full time starter.

Indy Coug

IMO - for BYU, 2 losses or less in a season is what I'd call "great." 3 loss seasons I might call semi-great if there

For 1 season I agree but for a 3 year stretch, the consistency is more

FieroCoug

We had a terrific offense. Defense, not so much.

Kalani and Tuiaki aren't cousins (eye roll) ...your credibility is taking a hit

And you’re probably a white dude from Idaho trying to fit in with poly culture

Not from Idaho. Just went to school there. I have many poly friends

Right. Tom Holmoe and President Worthen are all about nepotism and would 100% allow it under their watch.

I’m not saying whether I think pope is the guy or not cause I don’t know.

Early in the season the fire Pope crowd was beginning to make noise.

lightmann

1/23/23 1:03pm

Plenty of people have said they want Pope gone. Pope has never gone 4-9 or come close.
