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

BleedCougarBlue2

Jun 11, 1:52pm

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

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

The real question is how far would he go to

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

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

Why wouldn't he stay?

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

That's a entirely different thing than despising BYU

shakarocks

Jun 11, 7:08pm

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

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

This is right.

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

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

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

Why? Because he was tutored by Urban.

His son was the problem not the fan.
