Pope said we're making progress!

[true-blue1]

We've lost 26 games in two years and we're making progress. Does he think he's still coaching at BYU?

How so? We've lost 26 games in two years and we're making progress. Have we lowered our standards here?

I both want an explanation from Pope and for him to stop talking at the same time.

As I've said before, it took me 10 years to get sick of Cal talking. It took me 1 year to get sick of Pope talking. He is selling himself like he is interviewing for a job. He will crack next year under the pressure. When a coach starts defending himself to this length, it's on the way to being over.

BYU doesn't even lose that much.

inb4 "HURR Poop made it further than BYU did."

Yeah. And?

Well not only that, he talks about gains they have made the past 2 years compared to Cals last 4 years. And talking about beating Cal and Pitino this year like we got a reward for that. Complete loser talk.

You can critique Pope or whatever, but please don’t become unwitting Arkansas surrogates.

What the program has produced over the last 6 years is unacceptable. No “but at least we could bank on a miracle run with the talent we had,” or “at least we could look forward to Wagner at PG next year. He’s the dawg the team sorely needs!” Talk. That was all cope for teams that continuously underperformed.

How many years does he thinks we should wait to be a contender again? If he actually thinks he's making progress (he's not), does he think this is a 5 year rebuilding process? In the NIL era, rebuilding should be evident by year two.

Marks famous quote "SUPER POSITIVE" sometimes robs you him reality.
Being positive is good as long as you don't ignore the negatives.
The negatives have to be addressed.

But now people are doing the same cope for Pope.

Cal had a long track record of success. Pope has accomplished literally nothing in his entire career.

Very few people are going to cut him the same slack they gave Cal.
