Are they suppose to do? BYU is becoming more and more an upper level academic school and the BOT doesn’t want it to get involved in the rat race that is college athletics. What are two no bodies in the AD suppose to do?

Likely someone in the athletic department or Tom

Well Tom is a ‘BYU guy’.... though I’m not sure having ‘BYU guys’

When Hans played BYU guy meant more than you attended BYU is why I included Tom

Sitake and Tuiaki.

He said not coaches

Not coaches.

The excuses these guys make for our HC is laughable

OC Coug

11/25/18 11:56am

Or could it be as a former NFL caliber player, Hans knows more about FB than 99%

kolob32

11/25/18 12:28pm

Correct, so why didn't he go after Tuiaki for blowing a 20 pt 3rd quarter lead

OC Coug

11/25/18 12:34pm

Are you giving him credit for 3 qtr of the game? D looked liked a prepared team

Uhh like most D1 programs we expect other players to come in and perform

OC Coug

11/25/18 12:54pm

Other players? We're talking players who got no D1 offers. Players who wouldn't

OK so we couldn't have brought Butch in as MLB and put TakiTaki on the outside

OC Coug

11/25/18 2:05pm

That is his fault too for recruiting them.

Blue for Life

11/25/18 3:22pm

The hc and academic restrictions are probably also his fault.

kolob32

No but he is in charge of recruiting D players. If they shouldn't be on the team

Won't go into much detail, but let's just say

CLCougar

11/25/18 1:13pm

Was he insinuating BYU is in the midst of a pride cycle?

kansascougar

11/25/18 1:23pm

Nope. Let's just say he had an interesting way how he

CLCougar

11/25/18 1:27pm

I had him as a professor before he became an administrator and really liked him.

Alema Fitisemanu is one of them...not sure of the other but likely Jack Damuni.

Alema just joined this year.. and no way it is Damuni..

Cnation

Damuni is obsessed with the program. Doubt it's him.

stev

12/5/18 9:27am

What makes you say that?

SL12

12/5/18 10:43am

100% not Damuni. He eats, sleeps, breathes BYU. He would do just about anything for anyone in the program.

Why him? whats his role? if you are going to drop a name you should back that up
