Mr. Scoobs

Preparing players to score high at combine drills won't necessarily lend itself to great football performance.

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

YLife

5/5/15 9:18am

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

hxmCougar2000

5/5/15 9:39am

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...

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...

Well, specifically at our training program

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

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

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

5/5/15 8:31am

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

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.

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

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.
