Paying coaches more doesn't make them coach better or recruit better. P5 schools are generally better because they have better facilities, better bowl access and are on TV more often so they can recruit better.

It's the $$$ and BYU has a decision to make.

The NCAA basically has no real oversight with football, except for violations. And even little there.

they did go ahead and match the FCOA and the 24 hr food. What they have not done

I think that's pennies in comparison to what is required unfortunately.

Downtown

11/20/17 5:43pm

about $2M in increased expenses. But they need much more....I seriously don't

Several on the board of trustees will be very reluctant to pay more to athletics

If we are going to truly salvage the program we do need to go all in.

With the limited pool of LDS candidates, wouldn't we just be paying more for the

I think it's part of the equation...

Downtown

The actual pool for both coaches and recruits is always bigger than fans think

Lip Gallagher

11/20/17 6:07pm

It’s really not much in comparison to other P5

Downtown

*coaching candidate pool, not salary pool. Obviously salary pool sucks.

Lip Gallagher

Money doesn't buy culture. I understand what you

Cougarfan777

11/20/17 6:02pm

so $1.5M for your entire staff?

Downtown

11/20/17 6:06pm

The head coach himself makes that, maybe more. I just think it's silly to

Cougarfan777

If we were in a P5, the extra money would not go to coaches

This has already been debunked.

Downtown

11/20/17 6:09pm

How is that even possible?

2FarGone

11/20/17 6:12pm

Because Holmoe, Bednar and others have implied this.

While there were exceptions...they were few.

Money won't make the HC go away

It’s not the NCAA’s job to level the playing field.

They could help govern the conferences

Downtown

BYU will always think it can do more with less.

mudpupper

11/20/17 6:47pm

Again who did Kalani want that he didn't hire because of money?

I'mBatman

11/20/17 8:09pm

So BYU has an infinite amount of cash to spend on coaches, they just choose to

What can we as fans do to encourage an "all in" mentality from admin?

ordinatuer

Educate...think President Hinckley and 2002 Olympics

We aren't big time football anymore.

Really? Which programs have better outside of the very elite?

ManicBlue
