Did Rondo Fehlberg quit or was he forced out?

What about Alfonso Belberg ?

Forced out. He was viewed a bit too progressive.

Dangerous

You spelled competent wrong

Definitely sad. We used to celebrate top 20 Director's Cup finishes.

You talking about Bateman?

Bob Vance

Why did the Administration view this as a bad thing?

TNT

5/6/18 9:09pm

Because it’s BYU. Free thought is only encouraged as long as it’s not

you forgot to finish that statement. ... as long as it's not contradictory to

Hate to break this to you, but God and the LDS church are not synonymous.

Roko's Basilisk

5/7/18 12:27pm

Maybe not to you.

ImuaKahuku

5/7/18 2:12pm

All snark aside, you're setting yourself up for a big fall if you think this way

Roko's Basilisk

5/7/18 2:50pm

I separate the church from man. As long as I stick to His word and instructions

ImuaKahuku

5/8/18 3:36am

not necessarily. God and the Savior are willing to work with imperfect people...

Written policy or unwritten policy established by unofficial tradition?

This is why people hate BYU. Good grief, how out of touch can you be?

reddead

5/7/18 1:28pm

Out of touch? How so? Pretty blanket statement no free thought at BYU. I

ImuaKahuku

Dont think Rondo did any of that.

jkccoug

5/7/18 6:58pm

Do you find it ironic that a university named after a man with a gigantic beard

vagabonder

If they had left Rondo alone and let him do his thing

pappabear246

5/7/18 2:59pm

Hard to imagine BYU hiring visionary types. Doubt Lavell would be hired today.

cdr88

5/7/18 3:54pm

Forced out by Merrill Bateman. Bateman could go down as the person who single

YbeatsU

5/6/18 8:50pm

After Rex Lee BYU got saddled with 2 mediocre Presidents who had no vision

rocker

5/6/18 9:01pm

Can people brief me on why Bateman was so bad?

D.T. Survivor

5/7/18 11:55am

From those who interacted with him. Two key flaws

CLCougar

5/7/18 2:07pm

Fair enough, thank you.

D.T. Survivor

Only insiders know, but public perception was he was

Probably true

You misspelled Samuelson... the guy kept siphoning money from athletics to his

On the 2nd thing. Seriously?

Yup... during the athletes fireside

Really annoying when leaderships takes this attitude.

I've had bishops and stake presidents go inactive too. Disband the whole thing!

Shore10

I’ve seen kids who go to UofU go inactive too, lots of them.

Founding member of Crimson Club not good for BYU sports? No way.

Kerbouchard

5/6/18 11:15pm

Yup. They should be taking jello shots in his name at every U tailgate.

fulano

5/7/18 9:17am

It was a lot more than him. But yeah, he was no good in that regard.

mantis mutu

I don't disagree but don't know enough about it

macdizzle

Bateman...so glad he has moved on...

Heinz57

Crimson Club cofounder who allegedly once brought Utah fans to sit in presidents

jkccoug

Never mind, I was thinking of Sameulson.

jkccoug

5/7/18 7:03pm

he gets my vote. Don't think he ever could see past his yewtness as BYU Pres.

The legend of Rondo Fehlberg is largely a myth.

Tare

5/6/18 9:14pm

Haha. Ok. Is it the fact that he understood at such an early stage how important

YbeatsU

Tare

Interesting.

Benfica1

He was working on trying to get us in the PAC 10 way back...

So it goes...

Can't really make a statement like this without providing reasons why.

Irresponsible post....back it up with something to substantiate

CLCougar

5/6/18 10:36pm

What did Rondo actually get done in his 4.5 yrs at the helm beyond firing

Tare

5/6/18 11:11pm

Ever heard of the Indoor Practice Facility?

Oranje

5/6/18 11:19pm

You mean the one built 4 years after Rondo left? Legendary.

Tare

5/6/18 11:27pm

His idea, he started the fundraising for it behind the scenes.

Oranje

5/6/18 11:40pm

From BYU Athletics website:

Oranje

5/6/18 11:44pm

You've got an axe to grind. He was clearly a driving force on the indoor facility. Does everything in your world

CLCougar

5/6/18 11:45pm

Maybe he's the opposite of a scapegoat around here

Great38

5/7/18 10:18am

No idea but his son was a cool missionary & liked BYU

Rhondo was working on Cotton Bowl invite well in advance

chirocoug

5/6/18 9:48pm

There were five regular season games left in the season

chirocoug

Yeah, the WAC had an agreement with the Cotton Bowl

jsjohnson1278

Rondo left because admin cut wrestling after Rondo raised enough cash to fund it

Coogar2

5/6/18 10:16pm

Tom Peterson told me that story when he was the men's volleyball coach.

Oranje

5/6/18 10:21pm

Tom is an old friend of mine also.

Coogar2

5/7/18 11:06am

True, and too bad.

Santos L. Halper

5/6/18 11:05pm

That's how I remember it too. He was a good AD, though.

mantis mutu

5/6/18 11:58pm

Rondo had vision and expected to win.

Coogar2

An intelligent optimist who first came to BYU as an outsider (non-member).

mantis mutu

Textbook example if a Leader coming up against a cadre of Managers

Accipiter

5/6/18 11:56pm

It’s suspicious to say the least that Holmoe has been in the position

Gerald-DeGroot

5/7/18 12:58am

I would have to agree with this. Has nothing to do with how good a person he is.

Oranje

5/7/18 2:48am

Not only that, but everyone gives non-stop praise to the guy it seems.

RdF3

5/7/18 6:11am

Not only that, but his lack of leadership has also hurt the Women's sports

Hmm....funny to hear the bipolar arguments

I can't speak for everyone else, but I for one was for change in football and am

Oranje

5/7/18 3:45pm

I fully support your opinion

chirocoug

5/7/18 8:03pm

Holmoe should’ve been fired the day BYUTV broadcasted the B12

Gerald-DeGroot

5/7/18 8:55pm

Should have been fired the day TCU joined the Big 12

chirocoug

5/7/18 10:57pm

In essence, they took BYU's spot

chirocoug

5/7/18 10:58pm

He was my Bishop, awesome dude

Pretorian

My wife and I had the privilege of having him and his son over for dinner one...

mflood

5/7/18 5:39am

So much speculation. May have been great, I don't have anything to support it.

Benfica1

5/7/18 8:37am

Both. He was not a “yes man” like hale and holmoe. We need an AD like him

idacoug

5/7/18 3:05pm

Holmoe is at least a great diplomat. Hale was a disappointment all around.

mantis mutu

5/7/18 4:53pm

Too young to evaluate Hale

D.T. Survivor

5/7/18 6:23pm

Perhaps. I was a BYU grad living in Provo.

Sorry, I didn’t put a complete sentence.
