Pope talks about team construction philosophy

[Son_Of_Saul]

that is a great theory, but is it doable?

We'll be doing it next year.

Based on what? Why do you think he isn't an "elite coach"? And the same question could be asked of someone who says he is an elite coach.
To me the best coaches aren't necessarily the ones that win the most. They are the ones that do the most with the least, the ones whose sum is better than the sum of it's parts. I think Pope has definitely shown that this year with the injuries. And you could probably say the same while he was at BYU with the pre-NIL challenges he faced there.

Heard this years ago
A good coach can take his’n and beat your’n, then take your’n and beat his’n
