Guys in the rotation. We lose two fifth year seniors out of it. Experience will likely be about the same

Pretty obvious for next season. Have to give it til year 3

Will have to be a different coaching staff

BYU '80

You could change them now and it’ll still take at least 3 seasons min

Could be year 10 with this staff and it still won’t happen

You are willing to give Pope 3 more seasons like the last two?

Charles Darwin

If you think that would propel BYU that’s funny.

Every year you wait recruiting gets harder and harder

Charles Darwin

4/1/23 12:27pm

And firing your coach means players like Wahlin and Chandler won’t come

puntersarepeople

4/1/23 12:36pm

Who did we beat out for Wahlin? It was UNM and UNR right?

Charles Darwin

No, SDSU and ASU

Do you think he is a future star? I see him as a Suanders level guy

Charles Darwin

4/1/23 5:46pm

If he is 6’9 225 like McCombs is reporting he certainly can be a star.

They had a first year coach that year didn’t they? Fired the previous guy?

The talent experience level are already going to be way better than last year

we didn’t return Rudi or Waterman this past season. They both were new to BYU.

So it wasn’t inexperience it was continuity?

What did Pope do with guys who could’ve been seniors this year?

Charles Darwin

4/2/23 1:17pm

Sure it does. Literally the first team i looked at did it...

icecougar

4/4/23 11:28pm

No ill give him 3 more seasons that show his young core group of players ...

icecougar

4/1/23 12:53pm

In 3 years the young core would all have graduated

Charles Darwin

4/1/23 1:00pm

Maybe not 3 years, could be 2. Look at this years Princeton team...

Agree, Pope definitely deserves another 3 years imo. At least as long as his

A great coach will be fine. Either Pope rights the ship, or he's not a great

We’ve all known it’ll be a rough transition, but I think we’ll compete and hold

Huggins is great - but it's the natural position for last place coach to take
