I’m starting to be okay with Pope. I think he will be good, maybe even great. Just a lot riding on the assumption that the only reason he didn’t recruit well is because it’s BYU, which is fair, but still risky.

I’m more just worried about what the roster will look like year 1. Plenty of NIL on the table so we will see

Maybe he can't recruit because he is cringey

Well if this is true, then his cringey personality doesn't matter.

Dude seems like a goofy version of Harsin.

I'm the same, the more I think about it, I think he's going to be a good coach. He needs good recruiters on his staff, which I'm sure he will have.

Next year is somewhat lost to me. We will probably one or two returning players, and one recruit and whatever he finds in the portal. I view it like 1989 and just hope that if we have an average record, there is a lot of excitement in what we see for the future.

Well consider that not many non-Mormons want to go to BYU and the strict atmosphere on alcohol, sexual relations and misbehavior in general and it knocks out a sizable portion of young athletes.

Then consider what he has done without such athletes and he may actually do well at UK. Time will tell.

KSR says this was a solely MB decision. Time will tell.

Excellent - you have moved onto bargaining. Acceptance is close.
