and some look for someone to blame. Did Hague think he would actually be an NFL player? Maybe it is Omer's fault that he was chubby as a running back and then lost all the weight to the point of being an undersized safety.

Cue all the posts trashing Mike Hague.

I don't blame him, with new CoA he could've made a good living.

Seems consistent with how Bronco has prepared players for the next level.

Man, a lot of recent former players really don't like BYU.

Maybe I've missed something but what other players are you referring to?

Pendleton, Collie, Hague...

On the flip side, and as you well know, I think we need to realize that even at

Hague loves BYU

but why make a public statement like this? Isn't this great material for those

hxmCougar2000

perhaps. Maybe he meant it more as a compliment for Pendleton than a BYU slam.

"Not BYU." How could that get lost in translation?

Nope. No way. BYU and Bronco are perfect.

What's up with former players taking pot shots at BYU?

Our S&C program for the last 13 years has been ridiculous...

Your last paragraph is whiny and wrong

That's a fair list... don't agree with all of it... but it's fair.

Lol. BYU coaches are the best!

I didn't see anyone say they were the best. But I did make a lengthy list of

Of all the coaches last year that impressed me the most...

lol. I had no idea we had such a elite all star coaching staff.

Well, specifically at our training program

But it's honest. Maybe not the kind of honesty that needs to be on social media,

What's up with Ute fans pointing out perceived pot shots at BYU from BYU players

And the same could be said for players at other schools across the country

Can our guys use their new COA to train with Jordan during the off season?

Left Shark Coug

5/5/15 8:20am

We have a new coach who's paid to help them train for combine drills during

THE KlD

5/5/15 8:31am

This has been the case for the past 10+ years. Some blame could be cast

cougrfan70

The way I read this is that PoVey put more effort for Pendelton than he did at

A better BYU trainer would have gotten Hague into the league.

NFL teams are hesitant to draft guys whose college careers spanned two decades

Didn't Povey sign with a team?

He got a mini-camp invite

Players leave. They didn't become NFL super stars. They find things to

Hague would know about training at BYU - he was in the program long enough

SpiffCoug

I'd be curious to know how much criticism Utah gets from former players...

ocmyhome

5/5/15 9:11am

Did Hague ever have a chance at the league? Even with Penny training?

Y4LYFE

5/5/15 9:14am

Can I have his Spring Alumni Day pass? He just lost it.

BlueNtheFace

5/5/15 9:25am

IMO, training for the combine and training for a football game are different.

Mr. Scoobs

5/5/15 9:25am

You use combine measurables to get scouts to watch your film.

SpiffCoug

5/5/15 9:45am

exactly! dumbest thing the coaches could do is train the players for the 40 etc

Just gotta take another look at loyalty.

The loyalty comment was an afterthought, but I'll bite.

I thought just this when listening to radio this morning.

CosmoK

5/5/15 10:54am

If his intention wasn't to bash, then why didn't he just leave the BYU part out?

RE: Pendelton = better trainer than Omer. That's not hard to believe.
