Right — Ed Lamb becoming the HC would be a similar move.
Someone who understands and supports the culture/uniqueness of the institution, even if they are not a member, should be considered.

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

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

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.

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

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

An interesting thought experiment would be whether Grimes or Lamb could be HC

Other big variable is the visibility of the specific HC. Football is very different than XC.

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

They would hire Grimes or Lamb in a heart beat if Kalani left.
