Fine, don't mention BYU or it's admin, at least acknowledge and thank the BYU fans. But I guess you've gotta be the
bigger guy to do that. Tom could have worded a more terse statement announcing Pope's departure, but he didn't, it was warm and professional. It's Pope's prerogative how he wants to be remembered, and if he truly doesn't care because he's taken such a huge step up, it is what it is. We move on, and he's cemented his legacy here.
