BYU publicly states head coaches do not need to be a member of the church

"admits?"

Probably wrong wording. More "publicly states"

Great. Next thing we know BYU will cave and allow beards and double piercings.

I think we all knew it was preferred but not required. More strongly preferred

Im pretty sure most thought it was required. It’s been discussed here often.

0% chance BYU lets a non-member be the HC of a high profile job like football or MBB.

They would have no problem with it if the coach was already at BYU.

Right — Ed Lamb becoming the HC would be a similar move.

I disagree. If someone like Lamb or Grimes wanted the job, BYU wouldn’t say no.

I agree. Just makes me think it is even more dumb since it isn't official policy

There is an "Unwritten order of things" that BYU abides by.

Sounds like secret combinations

The DC stands to the left of the head coach. The OC stands to the right.

the center must always snap the ball with their right hand

In fact, they don't use a ball at all.

BYU and good PR is an oxymoron.

It's nice to have policies, until you can do better without certain ones.

That, my friends, is a massive step in the right direction for BYU

One small step for the AD, one giant for CB speculation.

Dennis Simmons from OU would be an interesting hire. BYU player and grad.

I'm of the opinion that KS was maybe the best LDS option in 2015.

An interesting thought experiment would be whether Grimes or Lamb could be HC
runnincoug
7/20/21 12:43pm
Other big variable is the visibility of the specific HC. Football is very different than XC.
Soupie
7/20/21 1:51pm
Policy for coaches in general is not the same as football/basketball coach

The BOT is short sighted in my opinion.

Except it's not the way things are. Grimes would be hired very quickly if there

Does he take a 95% salary for not doing Firesides?

This is meaningless. They would never do it for football or basketball.
Lip Gallagher
7/20/21 12:38pm
Disagree. I think they'd hire Grimes.
Backcountry
7/20/21 1:02pm
They would hire Grimes or Lamb in a heart beat if Kalani left.

No they wouldn't
Lip Gallagher

That's a good logical argument.

What opportunity have they had to hire a non lds coach from within? Nothing has

Other than the fact they did just hire a non member head coach. And

Their interview pools for HC in the past have indicated very differently.

I should have consulted with CBs football expert before stating my opinion.
