Reach a bowl game next year and you get to stay. That's how I feel.

At byu 3 years means you won’t get to use

If you’re going to give a regular coach 3 years, you’d better give BYU’s 5

So a human (coach) is static in value and value is absolutely win to loss ratio?

Wait, Kalani is getting lessons from Holmoe on how to run this? Yikes. You know

Blue2thebone

10/23/17 10:34pm

I don't think you are as familiar with the story as you think you are

Snark at the wrong time is bad manners...despite being an online forum.
