Between Pope and Santiago - I choose Pope

Please tell me this is not actually a thing. No asst AD anywhere should be causing issues with head FB or BB coaches.

Does Santiago have dirt on the brethren? How has that guy lasted so long?

Great question.

Santiago is a hot-head waste of space. He must have dirt on Tom.

Santiago is sure a polarizing figure

If Holmoe puts Santiago over Pope........that IS a problem.

It is absolutely shocking that Santiago is still employed at BYU.

Pope and Ryan Smith do not live next door to each other. Nobody lives next door to Ryan.

Ryan is in the same house before Pope came, he hasn't moved since Pope has been in Utah.

I'm not trying to bait you. Ryan's house doesn't have anyone in the back either. He purchased the lot behind his house

Why use an ecclesiastical honorific on a post about a man's vocational merit?

I referred to him the way I do when I interact with him

Is there anyone out there that is a fan of Santiago?

Dr T-bone

Mar 28, 4:29pm

He was obviously a hades of a bball player. And the kinda player who worked his butt off for everything he got.

How do so many of you guys know so much about Santiago’s personality? Do you take him to Burger’s Supreme each week?

Solution: get rid of Santiago like they should've done years ago.

Agreed. If you’re going to call for a guy (who isn’t a coach) to be fired, state your real name in your post.
