Pope saying he isn't qualified, I'm not sure how the same logic wouldn't also apply to whoever BYU hires (assuming it isn't Madsen).
Pope didn't have postseason success (covid year remains a mystery)
But he did finish in the top 20 of Kenpom 3 of 5 years, and earned 5/6 seeds, 3 of 5 years — that is better than BYU had been trending previously.
