Found this old interview with Pope filmed the week he left for UK.
I think it was filmed that Monday before the national championship game.
Jump to 3:30 in the video, He talks about how much he balances his love for Kentucky while being the head coach of BYU. He's very honest about his love for Kentucky, but that he wants BYU to win.
Its interesting to watch this considering what transpired over the next few days and weeks. I think Pope was grateful for BYU as it helped him get his dream job and I am grateful for what Pope did to rebuild the program & set it up for KY to come in and take it to the next level. Win Win all around.
