and coach for us? I think he volunteered at no pay, but we didn't want our current DC to feel like he was being second-guessed.

That is what I remember, anyway.

"The rivalry within the fan bases makes it impossible for him to show any

here's to hoping

Ditto. Fans blow this out of proportion.

Absolutely, the Utah job was 100x the better offer

100%. Very few things are 100%

The upside was too much to pass on at Utah. Less expectations, no honor code

He didn't know about the possibility of P12 back then

What I'm saying, is that Utah had the better chance to be invited anywhere

I actually don't care what Whittingham thinks.

Couldn't agree more. It's like that girlfriend we can't get over being dumped by.

I guess he convinced himself he can still get the BYU experience at the U

He's the head coach at the U....

He's a top level coach and I fully support his onside-kick on Laramie Cowpies

I think Whittingham is a good coach, but a huge tool.
