sounds like a great activity

BYUheaven

3:20pm

That should be the YM/YW activity. Ice cream to follow.

RootieBoy

3:20pm

BYU should give away all of Pope’s Postgame Snack for free. Get it out of Provo

BYUheaven

3:22pm

Time to take the kids to the MC for an event!

Geldir

Just change it and make that tomorrow's youth activity.

Probably student ward activities tomorrow night.

Nah, the Deseret First Duel trophy.

No one on the board has any idea how this went down. And if they do, they aren't saying.

brj8

3:18pm

It was reported that Young was option A and only one interviewed

Malacis

It would make sense then why Madsen so quickly sent out that tweet. I'm

How will this all sit with Sitake?

gocougs719

Could be an issue, but KS was never on track to become a pro HC or even DC/OC.

Forzaitalia

Time for the Andy Reid era... 😉

Ungoy

3:17pm

Sitake not currently in a position to make any demands

BeyondTheMark

3:16pm

He doesn’t have a hot seat, but it’s a little warm. He has a couple of years yet to stabilize the program.

Yllage Vidiot

3:18pm

Until today I thought the same thing

Hazzard

3:21pm

TH showed a lot of moxie with this hire, but firing Kalani? Let’s not get crazy here.

Yllage Vidiot

3:24pm

This isn't a TH hire and TH isn't calling the shots

Hazzard

3:26pm

And he knows it. I'm sure it is good motivation though.

kccougar

3:28pm

maybe they should focus on not being bad

DanSmith

He knows that he needs to win now, so hopefully we go 7-5 instead of 5-7

Hopefully enough to leave the program

Ughhh what is taking so long with hiring the assistants? This is the worst.

ochobeeguy

SMU hired the USC coach. USC hired the Arkansas coach. Arkansas hired the Kentucky coach. Kentucky hired the BYU coach.

YIsForBrigham Give me a break!

You should really hear the inside story how it all got started with smu/usc too. Its nuts.

No one is packing the MC for a press conference for a coach where 75% of fans didn't know who he was until yesterday.

brj8

How many fans at Kentucky really knew who Mark Pope was before last Friday? 10%, maybe?

Pretty typical of many on CB I'd say. Pretty sure Doman is still waiting to be hired away by some P4 team.

TNT

Strange because if he can't relate to kids and get them excited to play for him

SoValleyCOUG

Which may be part of the reason Alex Jensen hasn't returned to the college ranks

TNT

Possibly. Gotta love CB optimism though! Hope he lives up to the CB hype.

SoValleyCOUG

TNT is already down on the new coach.

John Doe

He didn't say that. Just the typical CB hyper-bowl-e. Whatever Indy calls it

Ride the wave, dude. Yesterday CB was ready to lynch Holmoe, now he's the hero they always wanted.

TNT is excited for the hire. But as usual CB goes way overboard
