Collin Chandler right now…

Cougs or die

10:50am

If he can bring in even one of the 5* Kentucky defectors he should get a bonus.

Malcolm Reynolds

10:49am

Well that was a shocker. Don't know what to make of this, other than I am all in. GO COUGS!!

BYU Grounds Intervention Needed

10:49am

Why does BYU always rush these decisions?

kccougar VABL

10:49am

Geez. WE ARE SO BACK!!! The top 3 candidates all on staff.

spidercoug

10:49am

Wow

Bossk82

10:49am

No way. I went from deep despair to being pumped immediately.

ballen

10:49am

If it happens.... unreal!!!

JC6

10:50am

New coach first call - Chandler family.

mottman

10:49am

Guys... we're in the BIG12 and this proved it. There's NOOOOOO way a WCC BYU

ballen

10:48am

Wow!!!! I cannot believe this. Not like BYU. Shocked.

DawgHaus

10:49am

Huge kudos to Holmoe. I never thought this was possible.

BYUfan92

10:48am

This honestly would be hilarious.

westsidecoug

10:48am

I'd love to do this!

BYU Fan

10:49am

Whip out the friendship bracelets!!

Superman21

10:49am

Why would we want a guy whose team is the worst 4th quarter team in the NBA?

StantonMac

10:48am

Mom, StantonMac is on the computer again.

Benfica1

10:49am

Is it his fault that they have old players that don't have anything left in the tank in the 4th Q?

ManicBlue

10:49am

There is no 4th quarter in college BB. We’re golden! Perfect fit for both!

mvtoro

10:49am

Chandler right now looking at the Young hire (probably)...

Hambone

10:48am

They didn’t photoshop the beard out?

Indy Coug

10:48am

Brigham Young had a freaking beard. time to stop this garbage

fulano

10:49am

So is it guaranteed that Chandler is gone? He can still come back to BYU, right?

Benfica1

10:48am

He could but probably doubtful. He likely knew who we were getting I'd think.

GfB

10:49am

I doubt he knew who BYU was hiring.

Benfica1

10:50am

I’m sure he’s after the money 💰. He’ll get more at Kentucky

RE: Tom's halloween costume this year

kimdaddy35

10:49am

Honestly, Young's first call should be to Chandler's parents

Mostlyaccurate

10:48am

Wouldn't it be better to call Chandler?

TNT

10:48am

If you've got his number, then go for it.

Mostlyaccurate

10:50am

I have some reservations, but I feel really, really good right now.

College sports for me has changed dramatically: I see the $$ now being the

Phoenix Suns fan right now...

zonacougar Medium Rare

Thank you Phoenix. Thank you Kentucky.

Division Bell

professional team fans have no feelings.

kccougar

Yes!!!

Oompabluepaw

Utah keeps stealing Arizona sports things

arizonacougarfan

10:47am

They might be able to charter the same bus up to Utah if they time it right

Ol Big Bear

10:48am

Smith has declared war against Arizona

Coug

10:48am

Fitting name too.

BlueVU

10:46am

The NBA playoffs just got fun. Do I cheer for the Suns or not? I think so.

The Chief

10:46am

Yes. But do so because a 1st round Minn loss is good for the Jazz.

Hypnotoad

10:49am

News isn’t over yet..be patient

Zombre

10:46am

Patient? That’s not how news works.

BW84

10:47am

Littlerich

10:46am

As always. Can he recruit?

TNT

10:45am

Hire guys who can, not hard to do.

-C9-

10:46am

Which seems to be one of Kalani's issues

TNT

10:47am

One of many

-C9-

10:48am

Shouldn't be hard if this is accurate:

joelvandyne

10:49am

He's young, has NBA credentials, former player--seems like that is a good start

kansascougar

10:47am

I guess the HC/Grooming Standards won't be a problem for him?

BYUBandfan

10:47am

That is a nice looking beard. time to stop the madness

fulano

10:48am

He’s got NBA ties. That should be enough to get Dallin back in the door

A Drew Aitch

10:49am

Since Pope can't thank BYU...I'd like to personally thank Kentucky.

zonacougar Medium Rare

10:45am

OK, Kevin Young news is 10 minutes old. What about assistant coaches lol?

BYUfan92

10:45am

Burgess and Peery are targets, according to Robby Mccombs

cruiserhead

10:46am

Be careful I stayed this at 6 am this morning and I got a suspension.

Worldburn

10:47am

Now that it is leaked, Does Young just sit around for the next 15 days?

BYUheaven

10:45am

Technically he only has to wait 11 days. It's perfect because it allows him

cougarfan84

10:46am

Thank you Ryan Smith!!!!!!!!!! YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!

Acorn

10:45am

Fine. I'll be a hockey fan too now.

kccougar

10:45am

I know I have my complaints but we are lucky to have Holmoe

Rhubarb

10:45am

his halloween costume should be a goat

Powerbait DPM

10:45am

I love TH. He doesn't get enough credit

Cougs4Lfe

10:48am

I’m reassured that Young has done pretty significant experience head coaching

SJS Shaky place kicker

10:45am

He also coached the Suns 4-5 games when head coach was out with medical problems

BYUfan92

10:47am

RE: 7 Years 30 million?!?

1984coug

10:44am

Have fun being POOR, Pope!

DieHarder

10:45am

Did you see Pope's contract details with Kentucky? Evidently not.

ManicBlue

10:48am

5.5 for 5 years... he won't make it that long

1984coug

10:49am

So Kentucky hires a coach that can't beat Duquesne, and BYU hires a guy ...

Bossk82

10:43am

PSA: There are posters on this board that are elite-level expert in EVERYTHING

whirl

10:43am

2 weeks to 15 days to bend the hiring curve.

Unibro

10:49am

How much does KS make? Will he get a raise now because of this?

ballen

10:43am

Ugh. Don't even suggest it

TNT

10:44am

Sure, if he beats Utah again and wins a bowl game.

rad dawg

10:45am

I think if Kalani comes out and wins 10 games + bowl

1984coug

10:46am

If the reported amount is accurate, it’s around the same that Kalani makes

JOPE

10:46am

Ws = $s

Benfica1

10:46am

That would be an injustice to Young.

coolblue

10:48am

Tom, please learn to beef up the buyouts and protect the program a bit more.

Malcolm Reynolds

10:43am

The reason this is possible is because we had a decent buyout on Pope.

dwhitebud

10:44am

We weren't going to keep Pope from UK and why would we want to with this result

johnnybyu

10:44am

BYU just got 5 million for pope

JOPE

10:44am

Though there are plenty on here that have suggested or outright stated

Booker would have to be in okay with backing up Knell for a year.

Is Kevin Young a Brigham Young descendent?

Greg4BYU

10:41am

I like this tidbit...

kccougar VABL

10:41am

Yep that is why his college experience doesn't matter. His basketball experience

spidercoug

10:42am

When your HC has strong NBA ties, you'd love to be his assistant.

mudpupper

10:43am

Burgess would be wise to come learn from a certified genius

puntersarepeople

10:45am

Absolutely! I hope it's someone who can navigate BYU's unique environment... who knows how to work with the Admin.

Scott_Tenorman

Young will stay with the Suns through the playoffs per WOJ

Mostlyaccurate

10:41am

Seems he values relationships much more than Pope does.

Dangerous

10:42am

Hopefully he gets his assistants lined up early, because we need to get on top

cougarfan84

Hopefully the excitement of hiring Young can cause recruits to pause and wait

BYU got a better coach than Kentucky. Insane.

westsidecoug

Hard to disagree with that statement and I liked Pope

kimdaddy35

Has he ever been a college coach?
