Being not the most patient fan, where are our assistant coaches, Tom?

Back in my day, we were worried BYU wouldn't pay Mark Madsen $3 Million to coach

SMU hired the USC coach. USC hired the Arkansas coach. Arkansas hired the Kentucky coach. Kentucky hired the BYU coach.

You should really hear the inside story how it all got started with smu/usc too. Its nuts.

Pretty typical of many on CB I'd say. Pretty sure Doman is still waiting to be hired away by some P4 team.
