Our new RB coach will be a former Utah player...

Cougar86

12/15/17 9:25am

so it really is Ganther?

Just keep Jamal away from the toilets.

That was my exact feeling when I read the text...

Crazy we can lure away Alex Smith from the NFL but not Andy Reid.

what is this a reference to?

That's nothing. I remember Casey Tiamalu running right OVER a UCLA player, and

Ganther had a DUI in his NFL days. If he is who grimes wants I hope

Agree. And, sometimes, folks that get through that kind of thing the right way

ZooBlue

12/15/17 11:24am

If he is contrite and that is the reason to hold off on his hire

CougarCanuck76

12/15/17 2:17pm

Well, the current RB coach has had more recent (and worse imo) legal troubles

JamesWestfall

12/15/17 9:35am

Sounds good to me.

thebruce

12/15/17 9:36am

Mahe has had legal troubles within the last 7 years? News to everyone....

jsjohnson1278

12/15/17 9:37am

It was widely known and reported

byubyu

12/15/17 9:43am

Clearly DUI is worse than this...

jsjohnson1278

12/15/17 9:47am

Who cares if it's worse. people make mistakes.

I think he responding to the poster who argued that stealing gas

Ktar

12/15/17 10:41am

The thread went from an observation to assessing how bad it was

D.T. Survivor

12/15/17 11:02am

FYI, Mahe and several others all said that the one employee who figured out how

BleedCougarBlue2

12/15/17 12:06pm

DUI is worse than what Mahe did. Puts people in danger

fattycoug

12/15/17 9:45am

Sure. But so is texting and driving, driving drowsy and driving while on some

JamesWestfall

12/15/17 10:00am

That’s a solid argument.

Ktar

12/15/17 10:44am

His buddy was letting him fill up gas at the company gas station. That's worse than a DUI?

darkcoug

12/15/17 9:47am

I'm guessing that his logic is that a felony is worse than a misdemeanor.

byubyu

12/15/17 9:51am

2nd Degree Felony vs. B Misdemeanor.

JamesWestfall

12/15/17 9:56am

no possibility of killing someone vs possibility of killing someone

fattycoug

12/15/17 10:01am

I don't think anyone is too accepting of DUIs and I think it is laughable that

JamesWestfall

12/15/17 10:15am

didn't you know stealing gas is a gateway crime?

icecougar

12/15/17 10:52am

My understanding is Grimes didn’t have complete control of the hires..

Cougar86

12/15/17 9:40am

Lol. Only 2 Non mormons. We don't want to be heathen.

johnnycarson

12/15/17 9:41am

Yeah agreed, this was something I’ve never heard.

Cougar86

12/15/17 9:48am

I hope this isn't true because it's dumb.

Countcougula

12/15/17 9:52am

It's completely false. The entire coaching staff could be non LDS in theory.

Lance71

12/15/17 9:56am

HC has to be active LDS

Metallicat

12/15/17 10:47am

Doesn't HAVE to be. There is no rule. Just Holmoe's hiring philosophy

rggee

12/15/17 11:40am

You obviously haven't been a BYU fan very long

byublue42

12/15/17 12:31pm

Just cause we had 1 LDS coach for 30 years straight. We've had non-LDS

rggee

12/15/17 12:36pm

Wrong

Yes he does have to be

Cougrrrs Roll

12/15/17 1:04pm

True. And if I'm not mistaken, hold a temple recommend, too?

BleedCougarBlue2

12/15/17 12:07pm

I don't believe this is a rule at all.

IceCreamButt

12/15/17 12:54pm

Well...it's true.

Metallicat

12/15/17 12:56pm

It could be a guideline rather than a rule, especially if unwritten.

hamaca

12/15/17 1:23pm

Lots of uninformed people here. Not sure why ya'all are so adamant about this

Lance71

12/15/17 3:05pm

Well, the AD said it's a requirement. I'll take his word for it.

Metallicat

12/15/17 3:29pm

So your evidence it isn't a rule is that a non-member was "basically set to be"

IceCreamButt

12/15/17 4:07pm

I hope so too but wouldn't be surprised if it isnt. BYU loves to needlessly

IceCreamButt

12/15/17 11:37am

I wouldn't be surprised he didn't have full control (i mean, the HC should have

fattycoug

12/15/17 10:02am

Oh come on.. Lamb should count as a member. Close enough.

UNLVcougar

12/15/17 10:35am

Can that be true? I hope, and think, not. Where would that stance come from?

BlueTooth

is this a joke or for real? what is your source?

This guy:

12/15/17 9:32am

He’s been the RB coach at Weber since 2013..

I actually really liked him when he was at Pittsburgh

I'd be okay with Ganther

BlueVU

12/15/17 9:32am

I'd love me some Jamaal Willis.

indojoe

Me too. Not much coaching experience but runs a successful running back training

mm73

12/15/17 12:10pm

Right now, I'd be fine if our HC and DC were former Utes...

jsjohnson1278

12/15/17 9:49am

I agree... and since we’re taking 2 guys from Weber State anyways..

Cougar86

12/15/17 9:53am

Fesi and Quinton? Or which two you referring to? And do you have a source for

indojoe

12/15/17 11:06am

I’m not giving up my source... like I’ve told others.. you don’t know him anyway

Cougar86

12/15/17 11:31am

I wasn’t asking who, just if you had one for Fesi

indojoe

12/15/17 11:46am

No on Scalley. He's a JackYewt tool.

cougrfan70

12/15/17 10:31am

Agreed! I cannot stand him.

That seems to be the rumor.

How do you know this?

D.T. Survivor

12/15/17 10:23am

Unless you accompany this rumor with a source, it has no value as a rumor

Ktar

12/15/17 10:55am

Just re-iterating the obvious and over-stated.

Frank Castiglione

12/15/17 10:57am

Yeah.. sorry not giving him up. You wouldn’t know him anyways.

Cougar86

12/15/17 10:56am

No one is going to publicly give up their source.

Jeffacka

12/15/17 11:27am

Then why state it as fact?

Frank Castiglione

12/15/17 11:35am

Some people can't help but spill information before it is set in stone.

Jeffacka

12/15/17 11:48am

Because there are tons of people on CB who spread rumors because they want

There's no way the BOT has to approve the hiring of a position coach.

BlueTooth

12/15/17 12:39pm

Maybe not BoT but I'm sure he'll have a GA interview.

soupie

12/15/17 12:45pm

For a position coach? If that's true then maybe the church leadership recognizes

BlueTooth

12/15/17 12:52pm

I have no first hand knowledge of coaching staff but every run of the mill professor has to have a GA

soupie

12/15/17 1:25pm

I guess I can understand that. Does it matter who the GA? I mean, is it a GA

BlueTooth

12/19/17 4:18pm

???

soupie

12/19/17 4:20pm

I would expect it to be one or more GAs assigned by the BOT or Commisioner of

ptcougr

12/19/17 8:43pm

nope. Not even Pres Worthen. Tom gets approval from Matt.

AFitisemanu

12/15/17 1:46pm

Yes, there is a GA interview, even for position coaches. It's one of the reason

jsjohnson1278

from some posts on here, you'd think repentance and the atonement didn't exist
