It makes no sense why people dislike Mark Pope on here and want him to fail

ChubbyMoose

LDS recruits is the top reason. If he is very successful, he will be our #1 competition for LDS recruits

TADOW

Kevin Young is showing we don’t need to get all the top LDS recruits to compete

CougfromtheSouth

Jan 4, 9:37am

I think we still need them. If nothing else, so Utah doesn't.

As a general rule I’m all for hitting the LDS talent pool hard. But if you look

Huh? Did you watch today's game? Young is showing we need every top recruit we

“We suck” we’ll see man. I do believe we’re a pretty good team. Had a bad game.

CougfromtheSouth

Jan 4, 3:52pm

Because if you want what’s best for BYU you don’t want him to overly succeed and take top LDS talent. Makes perfect sens

Plus he left byu without ever accomplishing an ncaa tournament win OR a conference championship. Good riddance

He had a preexisting relationship with chandler. Basketball is different than

It’s not that he left that bugs people, it’s how he left. And I don’t want him

rivercitycoug

Jan 4, 9:38am

How should he have left? Not being sarcastic, serious question

macdizzle

Jan 4, 9:44am

Meeting one or more of your stated goals?

CoogsWin

Jan 4, 9:50am

So your concern is about what he accomplished while here vs how he left?

macdizzle

Jan 4, 10:00am

He should have been a professional. There were several high profile moves at the

THIS! Once again, it's not that he left, but how he left. Not only did he say

Go look at Cody Feuger’s Twitter the day he was announced to Kentucky

JKLCoug

Maybe thank BYU for the opportunity (its the only reason he is at kentucky rn)

When you leave a job there is no expectation that your former employer still

Jan 4, 9:39am

Why would the former employer dislike that employee? Especially when the former

SUAVO

Jan 4, 9:44am

It's not unusual for companies to escort you out when leaving for a competitor.

maYbe

Jan 4, 9:54am

Agreed, but the OP was asking why people dislike him

SUAVO

Jan 4, 10:14am

Except that the former employee attempted to hire away our top employees.

Les IsMore

Jan 4, 11:48am

Like all employers do, including our current employer

Judgement day excuse. "...but everyone does it..."

Lol, except this is all part of the game, no rules were broken. Comparing this

SUAVO

Jan 4, 2:29pm

If all things are equal, I think a LDS kids choose BYU over Kentucky….

JohnnyC

Jan 4, 9:44am

I don't care how he does. Not sad if they struggle, not upset if they do well.

CSoul

Jan 4, 9:45am

Pope is a good coach who represents the Church well. Why wouldn't we want all

Agaricus

Jan 4, 9:54am

I agree with this. Good LDS coaches at top programs is a good thing for the

CougfromtheSouth

Jan 4, 10:00am

And some of us don't care. We knew who Pope was when he came. Meh.

Acorn

Jan 4, 10:03am

And who was he? A competitive basketball coach that wants to win where he’s at?

Polecat

Jan 4, 3:25pm

I wish Pope success, unless we play them.

Did nothing other than run a competitive team in WCC

scrambled egg

Jan 4, 10:16am

Pope showed no class in his exit

BYU DUDE 1984

Jan 4, 10:17am

Because he’s a used car salesman who lies to people

Zombre

Jan 4, 10:19am

What were the lies?

SUAVO

Jan 4, 10:26am

Expand BYU and lds coaching presence. He’s a good dude. People are too

Hammurabi

Jan 4, 10:20am

Probably did the best single year of coaching ever for Y last year.

HeyU

Jan 4, 10:20am

It was phenomenal. Actually built belief that KY and recruits could build on

Hammurabi

Jan 4, 10:26am

Regular season, yes.

porl thompson

True, I’m talking a season as a whole. Tourney = 1 game

Not even close.

A little losing and that will change - little margin for error at UK

Jersey hunter

Jan 4, 11:36am

How many truly dislike him and want him to fail?

cajuncoug

Jan 4, 11:19am

I’m with you. He’ll always be a BYU guy to me. No perfect playbook for exits.

Hammurabi

Jan 4, 11:28am

But there is a playbook for winning a conference champ or an ncaa game at byu but Pope didn’t have access to either.

RdF3

Jan 4, 11:37am

I don't want UK to succeed, regardless of who is the coach

Les IsMore

Jan 4, 11:45am

I appreciate him. He did a lot for BYU. But I won’t cheer for him. He coaches

Who?

OldFogey

Jan 4, 11:49am

You said no reason. The way Pope left is THE reason.

KYU

Jan 4, 12:43pm

He left and took players with him.

Muscle IQ

When he did that cringy C A T S chant in the Marriott center he died to me

Sircumference

Jan 4, 1:02pm

I mean that was cringey. But it was during his first stint here as an assistant

BYUHawk

Jan 4, 1:26pm

What? I'm not bitter at all but I recognize he's a competitor for recruits.

Mitty

Jan 4, 3:05pm

Go cheer him then. Don’t tell other people how to fan. BYU fans stink

DreamerCoug

Jan 4, 3:49pm

I don’t have to cheer for him at all. Just like KW or BM. They WERE Cougars

Thrill

Jan 4, 7:34pm

I don’t think the point was that you have to cheer for them…

Hammurabi

Jan 4, 7:44pm

It literally says that in the post.

Too short didn’t read! 🙂

Love Pope. Hope he succeeds at KU
