So what does Kevin Young know about football? Think he's open to being a 2 sport coach?

letthewookieewin Walking Carpet

1:58pm

I think it has more to do with Ryan Smith tbh.

Corn

2:00pm

And a lot of people that think that, would be surprised at reality.:)

basman

It is both. Smith doesn't throw money behind a coach/program he isn't

It's not reality that Ryan Smith most likely helped to get Kevin Young to BYU?

Did that Utah press release have a "the lady doth protest too much" feel to it?

nephicoug

No. It has the feel of, "Please stop calling us. The ACC story is ridiculous."

shoganai

Yes, the Yewt Athletic Department was so overwhelmed by the media attention from a social media rumor...

If this was the case, his on off numbers would look a lot worse than they do.

whoneedscorners?

Not really. +/- has way too many variables.

JoeExotic

So what "variables" account for the drastic difference?

whoneedscorners?

There are hundreds of variables

JoeExotic

Yup - Towns performance was a much greater indicator of the Wolves success.

Yep. Ant disappeared in first two games. And KAT was ice cold and STILL shooting
