I don’t think he’s untouchable by any means.

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

Well...FB staff had 6 or 7 years of patience esp at DC

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

Kalani made progress from his 2nd year to 3rd year. Then he was average for a

I've learned in the last year that BYU fans are not ready for BYU to be in the Big12.

Umm…Kalani and nepotism with his cousin that harbored an atrocious defense

Idacoug

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

FieroCoug

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.

FieroCoug

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

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

Idacoug

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

FieroCoug

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.

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