Having consistently winning programs (all sports) isn't something to scoff at. Sure we'd like New Years day bowl games and be invited to the NCAA Tourney each year, but are we willing to risk what we do have for maybe, perhaps, a little better?

n July 2018, Checketts will begin a three-year term of service as president of the LDS Church's England London Mission.

That would rule him out for the immediate future.

I’d like to see them put some big money together to go after Steve Young.

Money is not the driver for Young.

The people above him(the BOT) are the real problem.

There are several problems at play. BOT, AD, Richardson, Bateman & Samuelson etc

I'm not sure if this was TIC, or just emotional crazy talk.

Solid family source.

I don't believe tainted 'family sources'. There are two sides to every story.

I think the BOT is pretty woke and have much different priorities than sports fans may have.

Bingo. This is why Holmoe still has a job.

Maybe one of the changes that President Nelson is making will be correcting a

I guess I'm the only person who is clueless about the use of the word, "woke," here.

It’s a stupid millennialism: means socially aware, sometimes self-aware or situationally aware

There are a lot of people who would want the job and could do a much better job.

krhr896041

12/16/18 11:17pm

Don't disagree about the "current" trajectory. Just think Holmoe has proven value and to flush that value

Why is it all of Tom Holmoe’s fault we didn’t get into the Big 12?

He was married to independence when the Big12 came calling the first time around

Are you talking 2014 or 2011?

2011

PessimisticCB

12/17/18 12:12am

That is not true in 2011. 2014 it is though. Your source is likely mixing years

Also, my source wasn’t in the AD office but someone who works with the Twelve

That is like hearing a rumor about an MCU character from Bob Iger's tailor.

12/17/18 12:26am

That’s fine. You don’t have to believe me. It makes no difference.

PessimisticCB

12/17/18 12:31am

No. I believe you. I'm just saying your source and his contacts are pretty far

You are right. Most don’t however, there are some that actually do like BYU
