Are the Reids still estranged from BYU? Most administrators from 1996 are

I would assume so. His firing was not handled well at all.

How were they supposed to handle it?

He had earned the right to try and fix it. Losing Bradley hurt us. Roger would have solved the problem.

Don't forget losing Ruffner at the beginning of the season

All those issues sound a lot like what Ty dealt with this year. Similar result.

But Ty never told recruits stupid things.

Different that Ty is eternally likable but Roger had a serious long-term PR prob

Reid needed to go. His personality sucked, mostly due to his jealousy of

No. And he fared just fine against Majerus.

In the early years. By the time of the firing, BYU had lost three straight to

Yet despite losing those 3 straight he was still 9-9 vs Utah for his career

Everything you said is so false. you have no clue

Well, for one thing, if you do it during the season, you don't do it right before Christmas.

Reid was not going to be fired when he went to talk to Pres. Bateman that day.

Uh, you realize President Bateman was Elder Bateman of the Seventy, right?

They'll be estranged from BYU until 8 million Mormons pass away and forget about them.

Can't blame them

I don't blame them for not liking BYU but I don’t understand cheering for Utah.

That's ridiculous after what BYU did for Robbie

AZ Coug

12/15/17 5:28pm

Robbie has every reason to hate BYU - leaders at BYU screwed the Reids over and BYU has been unapologetic about it.

No more than the Reids screwed over Ryan Cuff

Cuff couldn't/did't get minutes at ASU. even after he'd been home from his mission for years and had a chance to

Ryan Cuff is one of the very best high school players I have ever seen.

Cuff was my next door neighbor at BYU his freshman year. I love the guy. Total class act BUT...

sorry - edited my post - I meant to say he couldn't get minutes at ASU. But my point stands. Robbie started all but 3

HarlemCoug

He was better than both. IMO

Blue2thebone

Cuff was no good. Worse in the locker room. Period.

Why do you say that?

Blue2thebone

12/16/17 8:39am

I’d rather go play at Michigan than BYU anyway

Robbie & Randy were hardly equals in this equation, though.

Curiosity killed the cat. He won one game in his last year before being fired.
