?? that is pretty clearly speak for being forced out.

Mayor of Cougartown

Wow, didn't expect that at this point

Once again

Not passionate? Or don't want to coach outside BYU? It's the latter.

If you're only willing to coach at one school, you don't have a passion for coaching

DapperDan

4/13/17 12:58pm

Maybe you have a passion for coaching at BYU! You are a great mind reader

Bensoncoug

4/13/17 1:10pm

so if that's the case then you treat this as an opportunity to get some unique..

icecougar

4/13/17 1:15pm

passionate vs being comfortable?

icecougar

4/13/17 1:13pm

coaching is hard on families. having to move lots to keep coaching is harder

ThugMormon

4/13/17 12:50pm

but for people who that is their life's work, do it anyhow, no matter how hard.

Finngirl

4/13/17 1:09pm

I think this is true. But when you've been somewhere 10 years it gets harder

ThugMormon

4/13/17 1:35pm

Understood but by the time you hit D1 you already know you can't, or don't want to, do it.

Finngirl

4/13/17 2:47pm

Dupaix is the HC at SVU

BlueFrog

4/13/17 12:51pm

Next job up from that is high school football coach

thebruce

4/13/17 12:54pm

They love it there. Buena Vista is a cool little town

BlueFrog

4/13/17 12:59pm

I don't know who did the O line while he was at Timp but it was terrible.

ThugMormon

4/13/17 1:09pm

It is. I have a sis who lives there and really loves it.

BV is nice. I liked it there.

crazY

Likely a man prioritizing his family.

sidsie716

4/13/17 12:53pm

more likely BYU letting him save face

Cougarealist

4/13/17 4:56pm

Or maybe this is a way to allow him to "leave on his own" when he doesn't

jreid191

4/13/17 12:54pm

He's out of coaching because he's not wanted anymore

Dillinger

4/13/17 12:58pm

That's not true!

Gerald-DeGroot

4/13/17 2:45pm

Lots of assistants leave to go to other fields, and IIRC the Nashif family

BYUfan92

4/13/17 1:00pm

Terry is married and has a beautiful young family--good for him and his family!

Fervent Cougar

4/13/17 2:28pm

Names to consider - Hansen, Tavernari, Akana

chodilicus

4/13/17 1:32pm

They need to get somebody who can coach low post moves.

Lance71

4/13/17 3:28pm

They probably gave a 2 year severance with the condition that they not coach...

ToasterChive

4/13/17 2:19pm

Why is that funny? They did this with Doman.

ToasterChive

4/13/17 2:29pm

All great questions that need to be asked

Yucaterco

4/13/17 2:48pm

Have you ever met Nashif? Passion isn't his problem

basc-coug

4/13/17 3:28pm

I'm excited for the change. Nashif put in a lot of obsessive coaching

thebruce

4/13/17 12:53pm

I've always thought he presents himself well to the media. Hope he does well.

BamaCoug

4/13/17 1:04pm

Okay, this is a good start...

icecougar

4/13/17 1:20pm

entire house needs to be scrubbed

Y4LYFE

4/13/17 7:53pm

Which MLM is he joining?

JohnnyComeLately

4/13/17 12:56pm

Exactly what I think when I hear "business opportunities."

(Private)

4/13/17 1:11pm

Good for him. I suspect he will do well elsewhere, and may have a chance

Bob Vance

4/13/17 12:56pm

I fully expected him to leave for a HC job somewhere

NorthwestCoug

4/13/17 1:13pm

usually people do that prior to be forced out at their current job

Mayor of Cougartown

4/13/17 1:26pm

There aren't a lot of other schools with Honor Code jobs.

ochobeeguy

4/13/17 11:10pm

Staff changes are what is needed

chodilicus

4/13/17 1:25pm

Didn't Shawn Bradley serve a mission to Australia?

TheDeek

4/13/17 1:34pm

Not sure how he would have deep basketball recruiting

chodilicus

4/13/17 1:47pm

Because he was there not playing basketball 25 years ago. Of course he'd have

Dillinger

4/13/17 2:04pm

YES

Gerald-DeGroot

4/13/17 2:41pm

Yeah..... right. Business pursuits? Rose got rid of him

Chazz Reinhold

4/13/17 3:21pm

Hate to see anyone lose a job. Hope he has something

Cougar TD

4/13/17 3:27pm

is he the scapegoat? the fall guy? Someone had to go?

buckeyecougarguy

4/13/17 3:53pm

short straw maybe, but if they were looking to pick just one it shouldn't have..

icecougar

4/13/17 7:31pm

This has more to do with Nashif than Rose...

CougarBuddy

4/13/17 5:39pm

Thanks for posting. Everyone's jumping to conclusions but this post from a yr

palangi

4/13/17 9:09pm

It reminds me of when Anae left to Arizona and everyone was sure he was fired

palangi

4/13/17 9:11pm

it's easy as a fan to assume we know how things like this go down,

CougarBuddy

4/13/17 9:58pm

even though all the assistant coaches were asked to re-apply for their jobs...

icecougar

4/14/17 6:28pm

He left because he wanted to. I understand your logic but I know what happened

palangi

4/14/17 11:40pm

Congrats to Nashif. He has worked
