"Firing a coach who does the off field stuff as well as he does, and still manages to win at a reasonably good clip would black list your program from any coach who has options."
Yup. No coach with ambitions is going to take a job where winning near program historical highs while playing with HQ-mandated Boy Scouts isn't enough.
BYU fires Bronco they are far more likely to have to endure another Crowton before getting to someone capable.
Then again, if BYU were to fall off the map maybe "the powers that be" would quit caring about BYU football being a face for the church and instead BYU could get back to just winning games.
