He said that he will not be coaching when he turns 65.

He will be 64 when his current contract expires. He will not seek an extension and he definitely won’t look for coaching gigs elsewhere.

Please let someone peel him away from Utah.

Sadly for us, I just don't see that happening.

He is already very well paid. He may get another bump but he’s already...

Let's hope that's how Utah administrators feel too.

ochobeeguy

11/5/19 7:34am

He could argue he's a top 10 coach and he's way underpaid compared to those

Windward_Coug

11/5/19 8:06am

That's a little extreme. He's been good, but not 7+ million per year good. I

Doesn't matter if Utah fans feel that way, other schools with serious cash like

He is probably $6 million plus good.

Isn't he already making $3M+ a year???

I think all told it is above $4mm

Yowza. That's probably more than I'll make my entire life.

Purdue is paying their coach $6.6 Million?? Wow.

Only Organization that will pull him away

Can't wait to hear him compliment the sisters on their nice leather pants...

Haha! Not gonna happen. But I was amused by it, so thanks.

Thumbs up - just to see Ute fans melt down.

They have no realistic shot at the playoff and not in any serious conversation.

If the conversation between the TV guys during the BYU/USU game is any...

Eddie

But in August, you think every BYU QB is in the Heisman conversation. OK.

DoseOfReality

11/5/19 7:15am

Wait, Tyler Huntley is a BYU quarterback?

ochobeeguy

11/5/19 7:35am

Their SOS is bad, especially compared to other teams in the hunt?

Wait till the end of the season and see what the schedules are ranked.

jkccoug

11/5/19 8:01am

It will still be better than or essentially equal to Bama, Clemson, Oklahoma,

Several points. Are you sure that the difference between NIU and NMSU is

11/5/19 11:41am

So BYU's schedule is accurately rated #12 and Utah's is accurately rated #40?

jkccoug

11/5/19 12:30pm

Yes, I think those are pretty close to being correct.

Well I don't think there's anything for us to discuss.

Has a one loss conference champion been left out yet?

Ohio State last year very similar situation except they had better wins

califcougar

That’s right. I’d forgotten already.

Exactly, although I don't think USC was a "bad" loss as much as a "not-so-good"

You can only spend so much money. After that, it's just gravy.

But if he’s offered $2m+ more/year you better believe his agent is telling

Sorry but uu won’t make the playoffs even if they win out

Cougarpride

11/5/19 2:13pm

The playoff rankings aren't out yet so you are guessing there.

Tokolosh

11/5/19 2:21pm

And that’s not Utah’s fault. They can’t control that.

SlantRoute

11/5/19 4:43pm

So...who DOES control Utah's OOC schedule if they don't?

Eddie

Well, Utah didn’t choose for BYU to suck for starters
