I think Pope is gone after this season
 

No insider knowledge. Just a hunch. He's not having fun.

Hmmm. Interesting. On the theory that he can’t recruit at BYU, I suppose. Not because he’s a bad recruiter, but because BYU is not an attractive place to play.

I don’t think the fan base would cry if he did. Because the fan base doesn’t believe in the premise that BYU is hard to recruit to. “Everyone loves BYU, what’s not to like about BYU?”

It may take a few coaches in a row running into the same problem for the fan base to learn.

Having said that, I’m definitely NOT impressed with the guys he’s brought in, for the most part.

Speculation about this on cougarboard today.

Looks like he is here for another year at least. If he was going to be gone, he'd have been gone already.

Agreed, although
 

BYU's success this coming season--like last season--is dependent on the transfer portal. BYU still needs two more guards who can score.

Looks like things turned around in a pretty unexpected way. Let's see if this team has resilience going through the conference schedule.

He’s gone alright. But who would have guessed it would be due to this reason at the time you posted.
