the potential decline (significant) in ticket sales is driving the leadership’s motivation to ‘right the ship’, never mind LaVell’s “legacy”.
BYU and Church leadership have pretty sophisticated business advisors.

We have President Worthen and Tom Holmoe to thank for hiring OC Grimes

I'd rather expect them to do their jobs than thank them. 😉

It is a REALLY good idea to thank people for doing their jobs correctly.

Well I've never really expected it until now, so they can start at step 1.

This is a Sitake hire, they just sanctioned it.

Tygger

12/14/17 7:00pm

People seem to struggle to understand reporting relationships. It’s Sitake’s

PortlandBlue

12/14/17 7:09pm

You missed the point. Sitake has very limited $$$ authority ...

Coaches Corner donors stepped up. And did two years ago.

I don’t follow your train of thought...

If you read the various articles

I hope you are right and that Coach Grimes will be influential in turning...

12/14/17 7:04pm

I know I'm in the VERY small minority...but I hope Ty is allowed to stay

Yikes people. Get a grip on reality. Life isn't a big ole charity case

Lip Gallagher

12/14/17 7:08pm

Yes. You are alone in not wanting to see him dragged through the mud.

Ty is not staying.

You’re being seriously ridiculous... Detmer isn’t bigger than the program

Coug

I like Ty Detmer. I want him to stay. He did a good job; attracts good recruits

qom

12/14/17 9:37pm

He didn’t. And who?

itsuptoyou

12/15/17 6:44am

He didn't take a pay cut, and he got a two year guarantee

That’s a long post with a lot of assumptions. But yes it’s a solid hire.

Turnpike Lane

12/14/17 7:10pm

...and for lack of Big12 too right?

AFCougK9

Ty was paid handsomely for the opportunity of a lifetime

Josef K

12/14/17 7:14pm

They owe him whatever is left on his contract, if there is something left in his contract

That's alot of speculation and conclusions off likely very little if any facts.

basman

12/14/17 7:39pm

It is God's Team, so I thank him

Garn

12/14/17 7:44pm

Nothing will make up for Worthen screwing up the Big 12 situation the first time

kotacoug

12/14/17 7:57pm

And then he gets promoted too, only at byu

I'mBatman

12/14/17 8:23pm

I'll take Worthen over Cecil any day of the week

Yes, the 2011 B12 negotiations may be BYU's biggest fail of all time.

12/14/17 9:26pm

How did Worthen screw that up?

Real Men Wear Blue

12/15/17 8:57am

Nothing. This is just rumor perpetuated by people that have blame someone.

12/15/17 9:02am

If the team "culture" is so bad, why on earth is Kalani still the coach?

Brisco

12/14/17 9:04pm

100% speculation!

Written in an "insider" voice.

So easy for us no-account CBers to denigrate coaches.

Florwood

12/14/17 9:46pm

What a pile of nonsense

jomo

12/14/17 11:27pm

And we all stepped in it and it’s now stuck to the bottom of our shoes

icecougar

12/15/17 12:00am

That’s just silly...

Rocketman

Easily the dumbest post of the month

conflictedcoug

12/15/17 6:19am

lot of conjecture...you have to give Kalani some credit for bringing him in

Unibro

12/15/17 7:55am

Look, I think Grimes is a really good hire; I also think it doesn't matter

Funny how anonymity brings out the worst in people. Not a lot of integrity today
