It's trolling. There are some opinions that may have a grain of truth to them:

I know getting an athlete in BYU can be easy however I’m not sure what they need

Blatantly not true

This I believe.

JuicyJam

Agreed. I had BYU sports teammates who had to re-take to get 19 as well

A few years ago I think the min at BYU-I was a 15

Is he an exception? Even if you guess on every question you’ll likely get an 11

Dewey Gray said he got a 16 on the ACT and still got into BYU

Dewey was 30 years ago. I’m guessing things are a little different today.

You know that was 30 years ago right?

I think it is less about their enrollment standards...

Didn’t the head coach at SUU leave to be an assistant at BYU?

Cougar Jazz Fan

Add Grimes to that list. Gig at SEC school to BYU

Colorado

12/2/18 4:45pm

Good attempt at trolling. But open head coaching jobs at FBS schools are rare.

Richbyu

12/2/18 4:42pm

There is nothing that seemed unreasonable in his post.

UNLVcougar

12/2/18 4:45pm

Disagree. Saying that a guy will pass on getting his first FBS head coach offer

Richbyu

12/2/18 4:54pm

actually there is, but even at that, it is what makes a great troll post.

DJROSS

136 D1 jobs and he'd turn down one of the better ones? Trolling.

Benfica1

Yep. Chance he gets usu <25%, Utah <10%, any other D1 gig <1%

BYU still has decent facilities, good branding, a TV network and large fan base. The honor is a challenge, but not acad

BYU had a chance this year to have a very good season if not for play calling

bad84cougar

12/2/18 4:49pm

Play calling also won us a game we shouldn't have won and kept us close in games

I don’t think you’re making it up. I think those dudes are speculating.

Conference affiliation is not an issue. If BYU wanted they could be in the MWC.

No trend upward. Between Utah and byu he takes Utah 9/10 or 10/10

In what activities are they trending up? Well there’s wins for a start

Clearly trolling. Who wouldn't take a huge bump in salary at an FBS school?

The lack of conference affiliation is the dealbreaker?? Lol

It's a significant factor.

Bottom line he is making <$300K. He really wouldn’t take a gig 5x pay bump?

Jay Hill turned down the coordinator job at Utah a few years ago.

Exactly. 3 years of a salary at somewhere like BYU is like 12 years at Weber.
