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

SoValleyCOUG

May 28, 10:26pm

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

My theory (no inside info)

byujdmba

Or people with money didn’t want to donate to NIL while Pope was coach?

JohnnyC

May 28, 10:48pm

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

tacallaway

May 28, 11:41pm

Pope and Smith were besties. Don’t overthink this.

Cougarbib

May 29, 12:25am

Yeah, they were neighbors

icecougar

May 29, 1:07am

Not just neighbors. The Smith family went to Rupp Arena for Pope's introduction.

KY isn’t a BYU guy and will probably also bolt when given the right chance-

Dude had an NBA job. He chose BYU.

cougaman

May 29, 8:08am

This hasn’t been proven. He interviewed for multiple, but didn’t have an offer

Dwide_Schrude

May 29, 8:11am

I’ll take Ryan Smiths word when he says he would have an NBA coaching job.

cougaman

May 29, 8:18am

Okay. That doesn’t mean he had an offer on the table.

Dwide_Schrude

May 29, 8:23am

Essentially it’s the same thing. He knew he could have been an NBA coach, but

cougaman

May 29, 9:22am

He was literally an assistant for the Phoenix suns, hence had an NBA job. I think what you're arguing is whether he

Bob Vance

KY literally said when asked about choosing BYU, "the Nets were waiting to hear back from him"

slatecoug

KY has said that a big part of the decision is his family

Remigius

May 29, 8:17am

I agree with this, but at the same time, talk is cheap.

Dwide_Schrude

May 29, 8:22am

Unlike Pope or Pope's wife, KY's wife attended BYU, and KY spent a little time on BYU campus in the past

Bob Vance

More importantly, Pope left for dream job at his Alma mater. That is not an

I suppose he may have been lying when he said it...

Eddie

May 29, 10:42am

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...

greatbam

May 29, 2:36pm

I don’t think he signs a 7 year deal if he’s thinking about bolting at the first

Chase05

May 29, 11:25am

Seems obvious he took the job in part because his wife wants to be here

I'mBatman

May 29, 12:32pm

I disagree with this

palangi

May 29, 8:35am

Sounds like a BYU fan theory based only on hurt feelings from Pope leaving

Tricky

May 29, 12:51pm

My theory is that just like our kids get teased at school for being BYU fans, so we’re Ryan Smith’s. So he decided to

There are people with money, and then there are people like Ryan Smith.

Diablo and Doc

May 29, 10:07am

That’s mine too. It was like “oh crap… we can’t take a step back without pope”

ballen

May 28, 11:58pm

I wouldn’t say freaking out. Definitely a determination to move forward though

I have a LITTLE inside info (I know someone who knows someone). Ryan Smith and

CougarScrub

May 29, 9:31am

Maybe KY's vision is more persuasive or seems more invested?

Dr T-bone

May 28, 10:44pm

I'm thinking this too. Young can talk with credibilty about getting kids to NBA

SoValleyCOUG

May 28, 11:15pm

Because Ryan Smith and Danny Ainge believe in KY

Yukon

Now they need to believe in a BYU football coach.

Great, now go and get Kalani to take a new job.🍎 😉

I’ll start working on his Resume ASAP!

That’s the point they know Kalani

This might be the next phase of NIL growth for BYU...

icecougar

May 29, 1:10am

This is the correct answer.

Adrielle

May 29, 8:17am

Pope talked about collective/NIL being in a good place at the end of the season

cougfan03

May 28, 10:49pm

We did not need any “good additions” if Pope stayed. He had 13 guys already

Cougarbib

May 29, 12:34am

Didn't BYU fork out a ton for Hill as DC?

SUAVO

May 28, 10:49pm

Half a ton.

Cougarbib

BYU wants to play by the rules, a lot has been formally changed in the last year

I wouldn't go as far as to say "terrible" in their results...just not "optimal."

Worthen was fine. Cecil was terrible, toed the line of intentional sabotage

Oof. Good catch, that's a CBism on my part.

Pope was very disliked by many donors.
