More than one school. The buyout/buyin scenario has zero chance of happening

Without being in a P5, recruiting isn't going to get much better

Some are eagles, others turkeys, but thank you for the more

And a lot of money is spent on bad hires as well

Well you wouldn't put Bronco on one of those fingers, that is for dang sure.

I don't think he said that BYU can't hire better, he's just saying that it's

i'm not saying anyone is stupid. i'm saying they're detached from major college
