Maybe KY's vision is more persuasive or seems more invested?
I always assumed Pope had one foot out the door and I think most everyone else did too.

Why did BYU NIL explode as soon as Young was named coach?

I’ve had the same questions. Excited to hear some CB wisdom on this.

This is my guess. Pope was somewhat abrasive on top of not being a BYU guy

I don't see KY bolting anytime soon because I imagine BYU will be a better fit for his family for the time being but...
