have the biggest impact on the outcome on the grand scheme of things. If he was willing to go to Utah around the time that Lavell was retiring... might have been a nice pickup.

Biggest mistake BYU football made, possibly ever, was failure to hire Mike

Uh. He’s not active nor a Temple recommend holder.

LyleLanley

I've heard he attends on occasion

It’s better never to have been baptized than to be a partial believer

This was true when I was living in Lubbock. I’d see him 2-3x a year.

So? Policies can be changed.

As if that should matter

His daughter was at BYU when I was there. I know he loves the church but might

You know if he has a temple recommend? Are you his bishop?

Yes.

LyleLanley

Ok, thanks for letting us all know

Maybe the biggest failure is not pushing for elimination of LDS HCoach Req, this

I’d love to watch his interview with the brethren

DieHarder

9/28/20 10:22am

He never would have made it at BYU. One of the reasons why he left Tech

ChiCityCoug

9/28/20 10:22am

Agree. We love him, but BYU is not the right fit for him personally. That is not

BYUtka

9/28/20 10:24am

Well said. I WISH he could be our coach. But it’s not the right fit.

ChiCityCoug

9/28/20 10:25am

What are we afraid he'd do at BYU?

SandYFan

9/28/20 10:25am

Open his mouth... jk I think he’s a great guy. But again, he would hate

ChiCityCoug

9/28/20 10:27am

Be himself. BYU is not the right place for everyone.

BYUtka

9/28/20 10:29am

Nor would he survive the fans

darkcoug

9/28/20 10:25am

He would be the best at dealing with fans. All his attitude and not caring what

TailgateU

No kidding it never would have happened, that's the point, that was a huge

agentx

Trust me on this. BYU is not the place for Leach.

ChiCityCoug

9/28/20 10:28am

As long as we didn't have the parent of a player K5H i think he would have made it.

shimmy

9/28/20 10:32am

The incident was less about what he did and more about how he handled it after.

ChiCityCoug

9/28/20 10:33am

I heard he dumped them in the Rio Grande which is why nobody was ever able to prove anything. Oh, you meant Mike Leach

shimmy

9/28/20 10:38am

I think his treatment of Adam James was a major part of it...

Vernon Dozier

9/28/20 1:53pm

Would have been fun. But no way BYU just cans Bronco after winning 10+ games

BlueVU

Mike Leach is that hot cheerleader that you hoped would come to the Stake dance

Blueto

9/28/20 10:26am

I didn't say he would come now. I said BYU blew it by not hiring after Tech

agentx

9/28/20 10:28am

I don't know that Leach has ever been used in the same sentence with hot

darkcoug

9/28/20 10:39am

I would loooove to hear his response to being called a hot cheerleader.

And all that was left were the "fat little girlfriends."

Second biggest was not hiring Jim McMahon as head coach.

ochobeeguy

Could you imagine Leach and Bronco running Offenses and defenses anywhere...

My extended family are big PAC 12 guys. When we had the discussion about Mike

Except for the thing about how, you know, he doesn't meet the qualifications

Really, really bad fit for the school

buckeyecougarguy

Not the right fit. We did good with Kalani.

Pigskin Pete

9/28/20 2:08pm

Right. Leach’s daughter went to BYU but there’s no way he could get back in...

BlueZone

Mike Leach graduated from BYU

Cougrrrs Roll

9/28/20 3:50pm

Of course I know he and his wife are BYU grads. And I’d love to have him back!

BlueZone

9/28/20 9:17pm

Every BYU fan should root for Leach

DocIzzy

9/28/20 7:27pm

Leach is a fantastic man. He is not shy about letting people know he believes

CrimsonCoug81

After he locked that player in a closet, I’m surprised BYU didn’t hire him 🤷🏻‍♂️
