Looks like Ken Niumatalolo won't be coaching at BYU any time soon. Just got called to be Stake President of his stake

Wow. Talk about balancing work and calling.

Wow, I hope that was inspired, because that would be 2 REALLY tough jobs to have

His poor counselors.

It'd be cool if they referred to themselves as OC/DC to simplify things for him.

d-coug

1/20/19 10:19pm

His poor wife.

cougaman

1/20/19 10:20pm

I think she'll find a way to survive.

snowbird

Somehow, some way.

Money is great. Having your husband at home is better many times.

Though. It really depends on how old his kids are.

I think they are mostly grown. 1 is already graduated from BYU and another

She strikes as woman that can stand up to a lot.

Oh man, that would be the best stake presidency

Betruewhiteandblue

What’s up with the name tag?

Vernon Dozier

Maybe this?

BYUFBDAD

Looks like I’ll need to read the story next time.

Vernon Dozier

1/20/19 10:32pm

Whoever called him must be an Army fan.

1/20/19 10:23pm

That's crazy. Way too much to do.

JuicyJam

1/20/19 10:31pm

There isn’t a job that is geared to mesh well with being stake president.

Six Foot Seven

1/20/19 10:38pm

Yea, because every calling comes straight from God, right? If you believe that I

Every stake president calling, yes.

Do you know how a stake president calling is decided?

Extra Biscuits

1/21/19 7:11am

Not entirely true.

TheLoanArranger

1/21/19 12:03am

That formula was disaster for Bishop Doman's career

CLCougar

1/20/19 10:40pm

LaVell was a Bishop.

Brisco

1/20/19 10:53pm

Good point, but wasn't he established for awhile as HC? IIRC, I though Doman was brand new OC, and

CLCougar

1/20/19 10:59pm

True. But like I said, some people can handle more responsibility than others.

Brisco

1/20/19 11:12pm

He was my dad's bishop for a short time in the late 60s.

Cosmo4Pres

1/20/19 11:27pm

That's interesting. I thought LaVell was bishop (of a BYU ward) 10 or 15 years later than that. your Dad...

Brisco

1/20/19 11:47pm

He was bishop when he was just an assistant coach.

Cosmo4Pres

Sounds like a good reason TO move

lbmango

1/21/19 9:12am

So you're saying he wouldn't turn down a call from his church leaders...

garyfan

1/20/19 10:49pm

I served with a very wise Stake President. Before issuing a demanding call--namely bishop--he would...

Brisco

1/20/19 11:59pm

That seems kind of bizarre and unnecessary.

garyfan

1/21/19 12:20am

Actually that happens with probably every call for a Bishop or Stake President

Ned Schneebly

1/21/19 4:27am

I completely disagree.

garyfan

1/21/19 6:57am

Even if you know someone, you should ask them whether the calling will fit with

Extra Biscuits

1/21/19 7:22am

Sure, but that’s not what I’m objecting to.

garyfan

1/21/19 7:43am

That’s your personal opinion, and I respect that, but it’s not the

Hope he funcions well on little sleep. Talk about demanding schedules.

SoValleyCOUG

What does this have to do with him coaching at BYU?

Kerbouchard

1/20/19 11:13pm

SP is usually around a 10-year calling.

socorny

He was my young men’s leader when he coached at UNLV

My Stake president who interviewed me for my mission was President Reagan's

1/21/19 12:45am

Sometimes I think about what callings I would say no to

BeefNoodleCoug

1/21/19 6:10am

Should we accept a calling if we know we won't be able to "magnify" it?

DwideCougar

1/21/19 9:06am

That’s up to each individual to decide. I’m just saying that for me personally,

I said no to working with the deacons.. Kids that age bug me but the main thing

cougfanz

1/21/19 10:53am

Don't think he or BYU had that in their plans.

basman

1/21/19 7:29am

Good for him. Tough jobs.

Benfica1

1/21/19 8:58am

So he won’t last long as the HC now

crm48

1/21/19 8:59am

I believe LaVell served as a Bishop while coaching.

Crazy, and he was already in the Mission presidency? Crazy, my guess is he’s

I'm late to this, but am I missing something? Why would this stop him from

Martin Van Nostrand

1/21/19 11:12am

It's just that with his new calling - he will be less likely to go elsewhere. It doesn't mean that he can't move

Zenoch

1/21/19 11:33am

Do leaders ask people not to move if they have a big calling? Or are you saying

Martin Van Nostrand

1/21/19 11:51am

No, but I think a lot of people when called to positions like this tend to stay out of a sense of duty. I know I would

Ken is a great man. He will be a great Stake President.
