So yes that's true that 3/5 years they have finished ahead of UK, but over that span, BYU average final KP ranking is 37.2 and UK's is 26.8.
I think there's a reasonable chance Pope ends up as being a good hire, sometimes people figure it out when they have more resources etc. But there'll be a lot of pressure, a lot of rebuilding to do, and he has no high-level success to point to really. Certainly to go from Hurley/Drew/Wright/Donovan as your primary targets to getting a dude who's never won a tournament game is something, our fans would riot and we are not UK.
