Whittingham might have come to BYU if the church asked him to?

You can be committed to your job and not add to the rivalry bitterness.

Church leadership will never turn a sports hire into a calling scenario. That would be really dumb.

Time to extend Brother Andy a calling to come home from KC..

They already do, per se, since their hiring must be approved by leadership.
bluebrotha
9/20/19 10:33am
Same as nearly every other job on campus. But a calling is vastly different than a hire.
Turnpike Lane
9/20/19 10:36am
But those at BYU will certainly act as if it is a calling
Coug
9/20/19 11:27am
Agree but is it different than outside of sports? For example, they called Kim B. Clark to be President of BYU-Idaho

They also offered him like $300K more.

Sorry,some of us are not as intimate with him as you are, Ms.Whittingham. Still,

Too bad it wasn’t a calling. Would have been a great coach to have at BYU.
