Tom Holmoe addresses War Beaver

War Beaver, I’d bet you and I have way more in common pertaining to opinions on BYU Football than not. If you and I could sit down to a dozen tacos and a Diet Coke, I imagine we’d work some issues out; others not! In the meantime, I’m grateful you fight for the Cougs. Thanks https://t.co/PuLCfKMIVq

Basically says "I'm a nice guy, don't criticize my job performance."

So is the proof you’re providing to back your claims.

What claim did I make?

You disagree that it was Tom's job to get the deal done for P5 inclusion?

Harbinger

5/16/20 2:35pm

You go make a deal with the Patriots to play QB. If you can’t I blame you.

5/16/20 3:05pm

Yep. That would be my failure. I don't have the tools to do the job

Why doesn’t Tom actually address what War Beaver says?

5/16/20 2:35pm

Because he really didn't say anything intelligent.

That would be a double HC violation.

Strumpets are prostitutes. I hope that they're not getting together for that.

Holmoe deserves criticism for his 2016 football hires more than any whining
