I'm in NO WAY implying that I know anything about BYU's negotiation(s) with the Big XII. I am NOT a sports insider.

I’d have been more transparent with MWC on leaving for INDY.

Keep Ricks football program going

Keep Anae as OC after 2010.

It was so weird the way that all went down.

Set BYU's offensive line back for close to a decade.

ldssdl

8/20/18 6:23am

This. BYU with an established offensive brand in Indy would be a nice change.

This was probably the biggest on the field issue for me.

The leadership should have done whatever it took to get into the Big 12 or Pac.

Making demands on the B12 was smart... I wonder where these, BYU is hard to

This is the correct answer. In 2010, the Big 12 was desperate to expand

We’ve been dead for a while in terms of relevance

Not even that far back. Just go to 2015 when we were ranked #19 going to UCLA

2016?

Except for BYU's national media coverage being higher than the majority of D1.

byu is a sinking ship. and one of the problems is fans who can't see it.

It's dying. If you don't recognize that I don't k ow what to say. Look around

Yep. There should have been no negotiation or pushback on anything. Just

I basically said that at the time and was called an idiot.

JuicyJam

8/20/18 6:05am

Not as bad as hiring Kalani

Coogar2

8/20/18 6:09am

Honestly, who else? Realistically with the lack of $, who else would we get?

Iki_Balam

8/20/18 9:28am

Yeah maybe the Kalani hire was bad. But they had 2 or 3 realistic options.

JuicyJam

8/20/18 5:21pm

2 or 3... at the VERY most. Brother Reid isn't (voluntarily) leaving the NFL to coach at BYU.

It's up there

Backcountry

8/20/18 6:30am

Is there any indication as to who wanted Detmer? Was it all Holmoe?

Iki_Balam

8/20/18 9:29am

I would go back further and keep Rondo

Or Andy Reid instead of Crowton

Fix the honor code. Couldn’t be less Christlike

Apply the Honor Code to Spiritual Standing not Academic/Athletic Standing.

Bronco giving up DC responsibilities, I think it was a mistake on his part.

There are three turning points I see in BYU Football for the worse. They are;

Along with the handling of Brandon Davies, the handling of Harvey Unga.

Go back further and retain Rondo.

+1. Rondo was a very progressive AD, one of the best we've had.
