Oh how the mighty have fallen. This program needs new management, Tom.

Tom should have been fired when he was more concerned with what the world

Not fired. But should have stepped down.

Having a fun Halloween and running the program are not mutually exclusive

Are you kidding? Athletic program not just football.

False. BYU is more than Tom. Would have gotten in regardless of ad

Exactly, people assume a different AD couldn’t possibly have accomplished it

Didn't say that, but he's the one that did. Overall program looks good to me.

With that in mind byu is more than Tom

He ruined an innocent kids life.

Let's be clear - it was Duke WVB who ruined the kids life

BluebloodOR

Nov 19, 12:09pm

No no no no no. Tom Holmoe sold the lie publicly.

MarylandFan

Nov 19, 1:25pm

Duke WVB had the "sine qua non causation" though.

BluebloodOR

Nov 19, 4:02pm

Legitimized by Holmoe's Athletic Department tweeting an apology and ID'd culprit

MarylandFan

Nov 19, 4:17pm

And he knew it was a lie when he did it. He's a coward.

AZ Coug

Nov 19, 8:57pm

I don’t think he knew it was a lie, he simply endorsed the accuser’s assertion

MarylandFan

At a minimum he knew he had zero evidence that what he said was true

It’s in the past… get over it. When the truth came out, it was addressed.

It's one of many missteps over TH's two-decade tenure

It was addressed? Not really.

The continued ROC seating ban is not in the past.

Tom Holmoe gave it legs when it had none. Crisis management 101 failure.

MarylandFan

Nov 19, 1:26pm

Had no legs? That might be the most delusional cb statement ever.

CorndogStickshift

The media ran hard with it, citing his speech to the students.

MarylandFan

Nov 19, 1:50pm

His Athletic Department released an apology and impugned an individual as guilty

MarylandFan

Both were false and misguided but gave. it. legs.

Many of us identify with BYU. That was the worst PR for BYU in my lifetime.

You must have a very short life. Athletes raping student(s?) was much worse.

The issue is recruiting. Growing pains are one thing. Kalani is not getting it

Recruiting numbers at byu are a weak argument...
