Simple question: Why does Kyle Whittingham despise BYU? Seriously.

BleedCougarBlue2

Jun 11, 1:52pm

Premise is incorrect. Lack of loyalty does not equal despise.

Sheepishly and jokingly? I think you see what you want to.

Dunno, don't care. He's dead to me.

He plays the role he needs to do his job. I don't think it's a big deal.

I truly believe the success/failure of both programs are very linked.

The real question is how far would he go to

1CougFan

Jun 12, 12:23am

True. He's a coach at a rival school. (I don't think he liked Bronco much).

He doesn't

I agree. I’ve got a very good inside source that has stated there’s nothing there but treating us like the rival that we

Biting the hand that feeds? Kyle has had opportunities to coach elsewhere.

DraperCoug22

Jun 11, 4:13pm

Why wouldn't he stay?

Jun 11, 4:30pm

Sure, plenty of pro's. But if he really loved BYU he wouldn't love a situation

Perhaps a reason why he prefers to not play BYU

That's a entirely different thing than despising BYU

shakarocks

Why would he have had loyalty to BYU if he coaches Utah?

Cougstreak

well of course. He has more years invested with Utah football than he did with..

This is right.

It's part of his job, isn't it?

vabeachcoug

Jun 11, 3:27pm

Not necessarily, no. He could say he hopes BYU wins every game but 1 each year.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the incident between his wife, son, and BYU fans.

Seriously, what evidence do you have that he despises BYU? Pure CB myth.

Jun 11, 5:30pm

That’s not “despising”

BECAUSE HE WORKS FOR UTAH

I don't believe he does despise BYU. And wasn't it Utah that fired his dad?

So it goes...

I think he has a chip on his shoulder against BYU, and the world in general.

Are the quotations over “nothing” because of some quote of his?

Why? Because he was tutored by Urban.

Count Cougar

This is much of it. The incident between his son and some BYU fans didn't help.

vagabonder

His son was the problem not the fan.

True, but I'm guessing Whitt sides with his son on this one.
