The new book by/about Steve Young is called "Grit" (if I heard the ad right).

Grit is the #1 thing I would want in a player, but it can't be the only thing.

I'm sure UVU's wrestling team and BYU's club rugby team are some of the

Grit is his dad's nickname.

Jeffacka

11/28/14 11:45pm

This is true. I wonder why that was his nickname, btw?

NewMexiCoug

This kind of answers the question.

Jeffacka

Good article. Thanks. My post was TIC, btw.

NewMexiCoug

I got that, but stilk wanted to post the article.

I think your assessment is spot on.

Mediocre winning doesn't amount to exposure. The BOT wants to WIN.

Myth that what you just said translates to what he said in the previous post.

JamesDean

Keep telling yourself that, like it or not bronco keeps up bowl games

franklyvulgar

11/29/14 12:56am

I love that you 'know' this.

JamesDean

11/29/14 12:57am

that would be a pretty attractive coaching gig to be fired

franklyvulgar

11/29/14 1:25am

did he say he "knew this?

ZooBlue

11/29/14 8:41am

If that's the case then the BOT is way out of touch

Actually, I think the haters are the exceptions.

Anyone who has paid attention will agree with you. It was clear from Day 1

The BoT does not pay coaches salaries.

NewMexiCoug

11/29/14 8:32am

i bet Stewart is at least 6'2 and maybe his posted height

southernfriedcougar

11/28/14 11:45pm

Great man, but not a great football coach. I agree with that as well.

eddog

11/28/14 11:47pm

Fair assessment. He's not a great coach. Great is as great does.

BarraCouga

11/28/14 11:55pm

Good ole "BYU is BYU" line.

southernfriedcougar

11/29/14 12:39am

So dispute it.

Really? An earring gets a 1 game suspension.

Every school in the country competing against BYU for a recruit uses that.

Please. It wasn't just wearing an ear ring.

Did someone actually mention the University of Utah by name? That's the kind

The HC motivates BYU's opponents?

good thing BYU doesn't play ut.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

The current coaches and players at Utah have indeed played BYU recently enough.

He's a great DC. I still think he's learning to be a good Head Coach.

Byu4life

11/29/14 8:09am

Actually, I think his DC skills are overrated.

NewMexiCoug

11/29/14 8:34am

He's had ten years to learn to be a HC. More than a fair opportunity

Learning?

Is it too much to ask BM and BYU to drop the firesides and focus on football?

Gene Frenkle

11/29/14 8:42am

You really think the firesides are the main reason?

BYUALWAYSNUM1

11/29/14 10:39am

I would be in favor of them doing firesides during the offseason.

eddog

11/29/14 11:00am

Interesting take. I think the firesides will continue as long as BYU is

BYUALWAYSNUM1

11/29/14 11:25am

So they travel to Berkeley and Austin and Tennessee and Florida and Connecticut
