To put it in simplest terms, Pope simply isn’t good enough to be the coach here. Recruits, handlers, parents, fans, etc all know this as well. He struggles in every area that he needs to excel in, and he’s performed exactly how he has during his career. To expect anything different was asinine.
I highly doubt Pope is 10x the coach as anyone. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Although I don’t disagree with your PK assessment, I’m not nearly convinced Pope deserves much praise as a coach. Jury is out on this team.
Well TBH, I have zero confidence in the team Pope has assembled so far. I hope to be proved wrong, but right now there’s no reason to think they’ll be competitive.
Any negativity thrown Pope's way is deserved. You don't get a pass here as far as I'm concerned. This program is in the sh!tter right now, and he's the biggest turd in the pot.
Money hasn't been the issue. The issue is that nobody wants to play for the head coach here. He's throwing bags at people and they're turning their noses up and signing elsewhere. It's not the money.
