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

"admits?"

Probably wrong wording. More "publicly states"

sidsie716

"relents"

"solemnly declares"

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.

fredetteaboutit13

For FB and BB it’s all but required, but everyone knew there was nothing in

MormonThug

All I’ve ever heard is they were required to have a temple recommend 🤷‍♂️

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

letthewookieewin

7/20/21 11:31am

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

Lance71

7/20/21 11:35am

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

MAcc15Coug

I keep forgetting that he isn't a baptized member

I agree with this. Bringing someone in from the outside into that job would be

It isn't high, but it isn't zero either. It would have to be someone who had

kimdaddy35

7/20/21 11:36am

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

Exactly, being the coach of a non-revenue sport and head football coach (highest

women's cross-country is not the same as football or men's basketball.

byujag

7/20/21 11:31am

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

sidsie716

7/20/21 11:34am

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

TheWanderer

7/20/21 11:43am

Sounds like secret combinations

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

brick oven

7/20/21 11:59pm

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

HenderCoug

7/20/21 2:02pm

Exactly, compare the revenue, income, viewership, press coverage; it’s night/day

Diljeet Taylor had a few years to prove she could build a top 5 program.

PR move to me. ***Look over here at the insignificant coach, look over here!***

BYUALWAYSNUM1

BYU and good PR is an oxymoron.

TheWanderer

7/20/21 11:46am

I think it’s an “avoiding pr disaster” than a pr stunt

Wish I could roll my eyes bigger and give more thumbs down. Lol

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

RC Vikings

7/20/21 11:44am

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

Backcountry

7/20/21 11:45am

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

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

7/20/21 11:53am

How soon we toss current coaches aside.

Soupie

7/20/21 12:29pm

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

TheWanderer

7/20/21 12:52pm

Nothing has changed. See runnincoug's post below. It will take an exceptional

NewMexiCoug

7/20/21 12:07pm

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

runnincoug

7/20/21 12:04pm

The BOT is short sighted in my opinion.

sidsie716

7/20/21 1:23pm

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

Lance71

7/20/21 1:26pm

See my post above, I think it's about known vs. unknown quantities.

runnincoug

7/20/21 1:30pm

I get it, I just don't like it haha

sidsie716

7/20/21 4:20pm

fair enough!

runnincoug

7/20/21 6:25pm

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

Q-grr

7/20/21 3:29pm

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.

Lance71

7/20/21 1:27pm

No they wouldn't

Lip Gallagher

7/20/21 1:57pm

That's a good logical argument.

Lance71

7/20/21 3:32pm

I really wish this were the case. Bro, you're a poster who should know better.

SinkingQuffa

7/21/21 9:48am

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

Lance71

7/21/21 12:34pm

Yea no one knows that.. one way or the other

cougfanz

7/21/21 1:00pm

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

Lance71

7/21/21 2:10pm

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

SinkingQuffa

7/21/21 1:32pm

Ha do you follow byu at all? It's BYU! No, they wouldn't. He wouldn't even be on

Lip Gallagher

7/20/21 2:04pm

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

Backcountry

7/20/21 2:07pm

It would go along ways from a PR vantage point to hire someone that has been
