It could be better, but Holmoe was busy picking out a new Halloween costume

Sitake is a nice guy, a really nice guy. That doesn’t mean he is a great coach. I think we’ve seen what he can do.

He needs to approach games with some emotional consistency

So what was Madsen's post about the other day. It clearly wasn't about BYU as

dallasbyu

3:31pm

it was encouraging the Cal alumni to donate to the Cal NIL collective

cwilke1

3:32pm

And to make sure speculations didn't derail that or recruits.

Soupie

He probably knew he wasn’t leaving so wanted to squash rumors

Warner

3:33pm

Might not have been interviewed but I’d be shocked if byu didn’t send a feeler.

VenturaCoug

It might have been the classic, "I'm taking my name out of consideration"

2ndTrombone

3:40pm

Is that confimred they only interviewed one? I am guessing they reached out to

johnnybyu

3:44pm

Yes, Jan was the only person they interviewed. But I’m sure they reached out to several candidates to judge interest.

JOPE

4:06pm

Probably had people reaching out to him and his recruits about the BYU spot

GlutealGuy

3:56pm

There are two reasons we can't continue to call him KY. We can do better.

3:30pm

It's a slippery slope.

You are just totes jelly that you don’t have a nickname.
