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

2:03pm

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?

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

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

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
