Utah 247 Board is saying it's not Burgess anymore & that it will be a NBA guy...

I doubt they know anything but I'd be happy with Kevin Young.

Hadn’t even thought of him! That would be an awesome hire, as far as coaching.

That would make this tweet make more sense than Burgess getting hired.

Gorgias

Apr 15, 3:50pm

J/K. But it would certainly make Utah fans sick. No Burgess - Yay!. Jensen - 🙁

Utah guys got the inside scoop

Kevin Young makes $2MM a year as a Suns asst coach.

Big 12 mbb head coach salaries from USA Today (with national ranking)

I bet BYU could offer 3 million ... smack in the middle.

Plus Sundays off

ochobeeguy

Apr 15, 6:18pm

and no long NBA roadtrips. Sure, still gotta hit the road for recruiting...

runnincoug

Apr 15, 6:20pm

Plus you get to beg 18 year olds to come play for you

NacoCoug

Apr 15, 10:33pm

Instead of 22 year olds?

NBA coaches don't do the player acquisition. There is a whole front office for

True but they have to still kiss their backsides to keep them happy

He's in line to be an NBA HC in the next 2 years

So was Alex Jensen 4 years ago…

ochobeeguy

Apr 15, 6:18pm

Was he the highest paid assistant in the league? Were there rumors of him being considered a finalist for a

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 6:23pm

He was the presumptive HC replacement for the Jazz, so he turned down interviews

Apr 15, 6:44pm

Sounds like he was still pretty far behind Young then

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 7:12pm

that's who the Utes board is naming - Kevin Young

Looks like Kansas is throwing $ away

Apr 15, 9:48pm

Alex Jensen or Kevin Young would be good, NBA ties brings some cachet

Rhubarb

Apr 15, 3:54pm

that is a funny aspect, what types of communication has Burgess had about this

cwilke1

Apr 15, 3:56pm

It’s gotta be such an awkward process haha

provoprodigy

Apr 15, 4:00pm

A smart assistant would keep his current employer in the loop. You don’t want to

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 15, 4:00pm

it just adds some extra spice when they recruit against each other and I'm sure

cwilke1

Apr 15, 4:16pm

Why would those guys have any idea?

Soupie

Apr 15, 4:13pm

Probably same source that told them BYU covered up a QB DUI

Gustav

Apr 15, 4:19pm

And Satuala was going to Utah.

kccougar

Apr 15, 4:37pm

I guess they did know 🤷

Alex Jensen?

I’m not a fan of taking something off a pay site and posting it publicly

Medute

Apr 15, 4:45pm

IIRC, these are the guys who have publically lied about BYU in the past

Gustav

Apr 15, 4:49pm

That has nothing to do with my point. What did they publicly lie about?

Medute

Apr 15, 5:04pm

Markham said Zach Wilson was in the car with Neil Pauu when he had a DUI. Bartle literally had no evidence

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 5:14pm

I’m not familiar with the story. Did he just make it up?

Medute

Apr 15, 5:23pm

Tweet iirc

puntersarepeople

Apr 15, 5:24pm

Was it possible he did have inside info?

Medute

Apr 15, 5:29pm

He slandered two players and BYU generally

Gustav

Apr 15, 6:07pm

That’s Alex Markham. We are talking 247 and Steve Bartle

Medute

Apr 15, 6:24pm

That was Alex markham

Oh my apologies Steve

Even if it’s from a site not worth paying for

BYU '80

Apr 15, 4:55pm

Totally worth paying for. I love that site. The OP is wrong for this.

Apr 15, 5:05pm

Agree to disagree

Why would Burgess turn it down?

Apr 15, 4:45pm

To double down and let 17 million members down?

The jokes write themselves with him.

Well played.

Turn what down? He wasn’t offered anything.

CougarCanuck76

Apr 15, 6:06pm

If Burgess is offered, he's 100% taking the job. If someone else is hired, it means we chose them over Burgess

I heard 100% Burgess and happening soon.
