We should all be as interested in these young me graduating as we are winning on the field. If we’re not then you have to wonder... what’s wrong with us?

Coaches were already on the hot seat before this season started. Here's why:

If all this is true, it's very interesting....

Adrielle

Ken N would not have sacrificed his retirement package to come to BYU.....yet.

I keep reading this, so I'll keep resposting

That actually is true, but he still gets many of the military benefits he would

If he's a civilian working for the DOD, he gets a pension plus benefits

I have heard similar things. Less about KS himself and more about the general

specsauce

11/21/17 11:58am

I'd bet TH was less concerned about CB & fans than boosters

fan_byu

11/21/17 12:09pm

They are fans too.

coolblue

11/21/17 12:20pm

Empty stadiums don't help AD budgets. Next year will be embarrassing.

ag4cougs

11/21/17 8:07pm

Doubtful.

COACHdrn

11/21/17 11:49pm

of what? attendance and season ticket sales will be low.

ag4cougs

11/22/17 6:35am

Did you see how many people were at the last two games? We're like the...

Boosters are just a microcosm of fans, but with money

Tom wanted more control; knew he wouldn't get that with Bronco.

jsjohnson1278

11/21/17 12:24pm

What does this mean? Why would he have wanted more control?

Dr T-bone

11/21/17 4:36pm

I'm a fan of Bronco, I really really hope Tom didn't make changes just because

Pretorian

11/21/17 12:26pm

There were some internal things; but telling a guy with 2 years on his contract

jsjohnson1278

11/21/17 12:33pm

wow... you seem to be an insider.... interesting stuff.

Pretorian

11/21/17 2:24pm

I'm a fan of BYU football.

Kerbouchard

11/21/17 7:32pm

So what if Bronco was ran out? That us independent of not hiring the right guy n

CarolinaCoug

11/21/17 1:05pm

The Bronco hate was so caught up in what he was NOT they missed what he WAS

Pretorian

11/21/17 2:39pm

Because it shows a complete lack of competence by the guy in charge of athletics

mtnKat

11/21/17 5:50pm

There is no way this is true, Bronco could have coached at BYU as long as he

kolob32

11/21/17 1:35pm

I am inclined to agree, but do you have any evidence that his job was safe???

Adrielle

11/21/17 2:49pm

probably as much evidence as OP which is basically nothing, common sense tells

kolob32

11/21/17 3:00pm

Fair enough.. But it's funny how many on here speak in absolutes

Adrielle

11/21/17 3:50pm

Good for you.

coolblue

11/21/17 3:38pm

You said "you get the feeling" about halfway into your post, let's be real

kolob32

11/21/17 3:43pm

That was the beginning of a separate subject. The Bronco and grade things are

coolblue

A fish rots from the head done

kahuna

Then he got pretty lucky with Bronco because that was a great hire.

Yunit

11/21/17 3:15pm

And Bronco was basically his 3rd choice.

mudpupper

11/21/17 3:41pm

3rd? No. If Reynolds was really second why did he not get the job?

Yunit

11/21/17 8:11pm

Because about 30 players marched into Tom's office

pygmalion

11/22/17 7:02am

You're confusing Bronco with Rudy Ruettiger. It was a few guys it wasn't

Yunit

11/22/17 11:23am

You are wrong on two counts:

Reid? That was never a realistic candidate. Still not realistic.

Yunit

11/23/17 1:40pm

I was there

pygmalion

11/22/17 10:55pm

Wow that’s crazy. Had no idea there were that

Yunit

Sounds like a load of crock to me. Blaming the HC for poor grades? That's rich.

Bluedarts

11/21/17 3:30pm

Straight from a player's mouth. Coach even said he would be fired if players

coolblue

11/21/17 3:43pm

Again, why is it his fault?

Bluedarts

11/21/17 3:49pm

Because coaches can set such expectations for players

Adrielle

11/21/17 3:53pm

Because BYU is a college not a football team.

canofpicante

11/21/17 7:35pm

have you ever led/managed something? family, team, business?

ag4cougs

11/21/17 8:09pm

From a player. Hahahahah oh that’s reliable

Paul Hewson

11/21/17 7:37pm

The Head Coach at all schools are responsible for the grades of their team

jsjohnson1278

11/21/17 5:04pm

You are correct. And, incidentally, Kalani was a terrible student at BYU. Not that that's unusual for student athletes.

Brisco

11/21/17 6:24pm

I was told much the same by an impeccable source.

YSMACK

11/21/17 3:45pm

Ken N's style of offense would not have been well received in Cougarland. Myself included.

lightmann

I'll take triple option over 3-9 and

It's one season for BYU. Ken's record with Navy since '07:

TIDBIT?! Bronco being fired is a tidbit?!

canofpicante

11/21/17 7:28pm

The “cb hurt poor little Broncos feelings” is played. He’s a grown man who chose

Paul Hewson

11/21/17 7:33pm

Another tidbit— Holmoe was on the grassy knoll and setting explosives at the WTC

PJMort

11/21/17 7:45pm

Sorry but I don't believe you. Something so huge as Bronco's contract?

DazeofBlue

11/21/17 7:49pm

Ken N said thanks but no thanks when an O and OC were "suggested" by TH

bja13

11/21/17 7:53pm

If true the KS needs to go. Plain and simple.

SouthernCoug

Time to clean house. Holmoe and Sitake need to go
