I like Pope and hope he succeeds. However, I am cautious on expectations for year 1.
He is taking over a program with potentially no recruits, in the middle of April.
Year 1 may be tough.
Cal will be set up much better for year 1, but we will see what he makes of it.
I fully expect Arkansas to have a better year than us next year. Yeah, I know…but I do.
I just hope we don’t panic and act like fools. Year 2 and 3 will be what we need to wait for to judge CMPs results and legacy.
