I just read the first little bit so I hope you’re joking. This is the dumbest

Take. One of the top dumbest takes. Taking it to BYU?? Wow. Some fans… Not very smart. Anyways, can’t wait to hear all about it in his memoir of how he really wanted to stick it to BYU when a top basketball school, in which he played for, offered him a head coaching job. Not to mention all the money he will make. Also, he won’t have to deal with an honor code. Man….

This was his chance. He was always going to take it if it came.

Everyone keeps saying stepping stone, but what other coach left for another team

Kentucky was apparently a stepping stone to Arkansas for Calipari

He's just doing what any coach would do. Look what Calipari is doing to UK's

Apr 12, 12:15pm

Yep. We didn’t mind when Pope did it to UVU when it benefited us. Sucks to now

Lalau

the scarier part now is it looks like we'll be hiring an asst coach, not a head coach from elsewhere

LaVell was an assistant with no HC experience when hired. It could work out.

dratax

sure, but a guy w/ potential could be left with a bare cupboard keeping him from achieving what he could've otherwise

Exactly, the hypocrisy on this board is endless. Poach from UVU, whine when

Apr 12, 12:55pm

Nah we’re whining that those “CFB powers” are on a path to kill the sport.

Yiowa

They're not asking, they will take. Either comply or get in the bread line.

Apr 12, 1:10pm

It won’t. It’ll take time but no one will care about a minor league in 20 years

We've similarly loved Jay Hill taking all the Weber St players

How is Pope “taking it to BYU as he leaves?”

Soy Celeste

By taking the future of the program... we don't just lose Pope, but several

Another UVU player says he is following new BYU men’s basketball coach Mark Pope

SwampyCoug

kind of embarrassing yourself. Dallin said he's been considering this for weeks

icecougar

Apr 12, 7:22pm

That tweet clearly connects Halls decision with Pope’s exit

Accipiter

Apr 13, 8:00am

Just think of all the tournaments wins he gave us to remember him by.

Apr 12, 12:16pm

It took a blue blood program making an unprecedented hire

Holy overreactions Batman

Adrielle

Apr 12, 12:17pm

What a lame post. Seriously.

Apr 12, 12:21pm

The last line especially. Pope did his job. He owes us nothing

SoBlueitHurts

Apr 12, 1:43pm

Well, he didn't do his job in the tourney, but I'll let it slide.

Heath Squashwell

Apr 12, 3:58pm

He did break a contract with BYU no? So there’s that…

Hufflepuff

Apr 12, 5:02pm

A buy out provision would be part of the contract.

dratax

Apr 12, 5:11pm

100% correct. If this happened every 5 years at BYU it would mean success.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Apr 12, 5:17pm

@realtaysom totally agree. It’s all “how it affects my feelings”

Apr 12, 5:56pm

I agree 100% - all of U R so happy 4 Pope but this could set us back years...

Do you really think UK pays more than BYU? (Sarcasm.). Sorry.

when you get a coach, you get some of their players and recruits too

$5.5MM is why he is leaving. Take it to the bank.

We are a stepping stone. Not like we have ever been in the in club (at least not

SoBlueitHurts

Not a stepping stone. a cul-de-sac. BYU has typically been the end of the road.

For some reason you seem to have issues with players and coaches...

Are people who post this so naive that they don't understand how jobs work??

morningcalmcougar

Apr 12, 2:51pm

So, you've never heard of non-disclosures and non-compete agreements?

Accipiter

Apr 12, 3:28pm

I definitely know about them, but coaches contracts don't have them

morningcalmcougar

Apr 15, 10:55am

Maybe the point is being missed by some in response to this post. Not many

TrustMeIKnow

Apr 12, 2:56pm

Exactly. I'm fine with any coach leaving for greener pastures. How they leave is
