SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

Personally, I don't think that team was deep, athletic or tall enough to have

done too much damage in the Dance. But the narrative got spun very differently. I think there was still a lot of national sympathy for Yoeli, & a lot of national viewers liked the unselfish, deadly shooting on display by our Senior-laden team. Unbiased people found that squad an easy one to pull for.

Entering the Big12 starting over is a VERY bad idea.

There's plenty of frustrated fans that believe he isn't the answer.

Interesting because some still behind coach Pope use the opposite argument.

If Coach Pope isn't here those Four 4 star recruits that are leaning BYU

I think you’re conflating criticism with calling for him to be removed. I bet

Which 4-star recruits are you referencing?

Can't wait for him to rack up another 1,000,000 skymiles and get 0 commits

As long as Pope wants to be the coach next year, he's going to be the coach

Pope is probably the best coach BYU can get.

Crazy to even consider replacing Coach Pope, he's the best there is -

Those who wanted Coach Tuiaki to stay are probably the same ones calling for

IDK... Seems like the people defending Tuiaki are defending Pope. The excuses

If you believe BYU BB has regressed over Popes tenure in the WCC why would you

If you're not cutting it as a fan, why keep you as a fan?

I agree, but entering the B12 on a serious downward trajectory with no

We bring in the highest-rated LDS recruit since Jabari Parker in two seasons

In my mind, and we may disagree, landing Chandler is a huge W, but not momentum

gww687

I disagree w ya. And it's not just about Chandler. But

No doubt the usual challenge of two years until you see a player and likely 4

Agreed. Pope definitely needs more scorers & bigs.

I don't see where Pope is missing out on a lot of top LDS talent like RR did

I never understood the Pope theft. Typically schools go after coaches that win

To the contrary, minus Covid, I think that description fit Pope years 2-3.
