If your top priority is winning in the NCAA tourney right away, not a great chance with that job. But I wouldn't fault anyone to accept that kind of money if given the opportunity.

Over how long. U/A was a great job while Lute Olson was there. It's not now.

U of A is offering 10 million? Nope. Sean Miller was making 2.4 million. Link:

I'm estimating a 4-5 yr contract, obviously not $10M a year lol

Okay, makes me feel a little better. I think Nick Saban is close to $10 million

U of A is one of the best jobs on the West Coast

That’s all fine. Much truth. But he’s diminished the many things he’s said

I admit I'm unfamiliar with Pope saying he will stay at BYU forever, link?

Nice try. He’s never said forever but if you haven’t heard his constant barrage

I would appreciate a link. Also would like to know if you think he was lying.

But he said all those same things about his vision for UVU and his role

First 3 basketball schools in the west that come to my mind...UCLA, UofA, Zags

BYU won the NIT twice, and back when we won it, the NIT was more prestigious

You're hilarious! 2001? That's like saying BYU football is a premier destination

5 elite 8 appearances since then. 3 in last decade. BYU? 0

I made no claim about BYU being a better destination.

4/15/21 10:43pm

So? You did say UofA hasn’t been of consequence for years. 3 elite 8s in last

Yes, you're right on UA's last decade. I was wrong. But so are you in accusing

OldFogey

Ok. Read what you just wrote and apply it to yourself. I never said UA was pre
