Speaking of recruiting. I own a software company that the U uses to recruit.

Is your software called PAC 12?

BYU has a powerful story. They just need a better way of telling it to 18 yo’s

sandYego

1/25/20 8:34am

agreed...they’re not interested in their Grandad’s BYU

Buffoons. All of them.

That's an understatement. Pride precedes the fall. This fall sucks too.

There’s always next fall though. 😊

PJMort

You sure you have it in you to call Kalani a buffoon?

ldssdl

1/25/20 10:46am

He kind of is though. Props to backcountry for calling it like it is.

Ouch. Not surprising, though.

So this was under Bronco? Have you gone to Tasha Bell with this?

BlackBart

1/25/20 8:35am

Nope. New administration.

sandYego

1/25/20 8:36am

Who was it presented to? Jack D? Did this make its way to Kalani/Tom?

BlackBart

1/25/20 8:48am

hate to break it to you, if it's the new admin after Bronco, then it wasn't a gamechanger. The game changed before that

How many other schools are using it?

Les Miles at Kansas. ND is getting close. Schools are not our primary target.

I can believe this, we offered BYU a free platform.....

This and everything else in this thread pisses me off. Byu is full of some

Ash

This thread is anecdotal bologna. It’s simply the product on the field...

PJMort

But it's clear symptoms of a program that is satisfied. They do not pursue

Ash

That might be true... but this story is not proof of that.

PJMort

Let me shed some more light to my post

Canusa

1/25/20 10:15am

I just think it's double speak. Doing anything "extra" at byu is seen as perhaps

Ash

1/25/20 11:15am

Why are "higher ups" involved in whether a team is uses a free software tool?

CougarThug

Sometimes it’s not as simple as just getting the software

Cougar Geek

1/27/20 7:43am

Dude. Do you not spend time on this board?: There are so many examples of byu

Ash

1/25/20 10:26am

And even more examples of CBers making assumptions and being wrong.

PJMort

1/25/20 11:10am

I think this anecdote supports your point.

StalwartBraveTrue

No it's not. Andy Phillips and Matt Gay are other examples

1/26/20 10:41pm

Nobody has any idea what this platform is, how good it is, or what value it

MarkWatney

1/25/20 5:56pm

That is not the point. The admin dismissed it w/o giving it any serious thought

Ash

You have no idea how much thought it was given, or more importantly

COACHdrn

4 years later? So 2015 or 2016? The U joined PAC-12 in 2011.

PJMort

I used this story to show the contrast.

sandYego

1/25/20 9:31am

I still reject your premise... it’s about coaching and players

PJMort

1/25/20 9:44am

Good point. Congratulations. Hope you’re not leading an organization though.

sandYego

1/25/20 9:48am

Thanks.

PJMort

1/25/20 9:59am

If it is about coaching and players, and if sandYego has a product to help land

Iron Coug

1/25/20 10:00am

You and I probably agree on that.

PJMort

1/25/20 10:11am

I really don’t have an axe to grind. I’m just a passionate fan.

sandYego

1/25/20 10:23am

To quote you “Congratulations, I hope you’re not leading an organization though.

PJMort

1/25/20 11:01am

On the same token, why blindly defend the administration?

BrutustheBrash

1/25/20 12:06pm

I guess because someone needs to point out the flaws in the group think going on

PJMort

1/25/20 12:35pm

Funny you cite Criddle who has been the most vocal critic of the byu

Ok. Peace Ash. I hope things improve with the football team. Go Cougs!

As a fanbase I think we need to accept this.
