Arkie=, you be the judge of your question. Before Bronco came to Va., Virginia was the seller dweller of their conference. Since Bronco arrived, they became bowl elgible and flirts constantly with being ranked. So you answer the question. Was it worth paying Bronco double what he was getting when he left BYU and now getting more than tripple, to get Virginia out of the seller and making them a competative team.
grqsshopper, may I suggest that you start being a fan of some of the FCS teams. I am sure that you can get tickets really cheap and still have your choice of any seat in the house.
Thank you Sr_Burton.
I think that some people with symptoms of fanaticism, dose more harm to the establishment that they are fanatical over, than any possible good that they could possible do. For me, that is a real turn off. I prefer intelligent conversation indulging in fact finding, instead of immature fanaticism.
âWho said my politics? Itâs just the truth and an example.â
example.rasshopper, you are continuously calling anyone that does not agree with you a far-left socialistic, communist democrat and than you add much more to what you believe to be an insult.
I bet you donât like Mit Romney. Your politics come out of your mouth every time that someone disagrees with you. I guess if you listen to your favorite news station, you have a high ranking teacher for your techniques.

grasshopper,
Why is it if you are talking about Backs, Latinoâs LGBTQ community, or just anyone else that disagrees with you, your answer is always same, in summary, something beneath you?
Do you want me to go back into the records of all of your insulting comments?

Oops. I shouldnât have brought it up about Jim Harbaugh. But, I can dream which we all know no way he would come.
Who was it wanted to coach at BYU basketball or was it football and not knowing about requirement to be head coach at the Y? Just dreaming Ron.
Why would I do that? Get real.
Hi dew,
I think that most of us know all the requirements to be head coach in any sport at BYU.
I personally would like to see two changes.
1.) I would like to see the AD being required to be the member in good standing and be commissioned to find the very best available coach, member or not, to come to the Y to be head coach that would not go against the standards of the Church. That would open the door for better recruiting of coaches.
2.) The other important change is to have the capability to pay these top notch coaches a stipend comparable to what they could get coaching somewhere else.
Donât worry about Jim Harbaugh. I realize that you were jesting. I enjoy your posting. Keep it up. We do not have to agree on all things. We may respectfully disagree on many things. This is part of the knowledge growth process.
Ron
I just came up with a thought and I donât see a problem to adjust how BYU handle football program.
Why not hire a non member Head FB Coach (high paying job) and hire 2nd Head FB Coach (less pay) who is LDS that he will monitor the football program. I may not make sense what I am saying. Why not hire two head football coaches?
I kind a wish we had 2nd head coach for Gary Crowton (yes he is LDS) and we may have seen some adjustment how Gary would have recuited.
And no, we would not see Jim Harbaugh coming to BYU.
Good thought. You should accept all opinions as valid. As far has head coaches, would more experienced head coaches come to BYU and coach under the expectations of the Brethren and the honor code/mission challenges?
Kind of like two CEOâs. Iâve seen it. My company had two CEOâs for several years. It worked out. One was the business need while the other was the front man for motivation and fought the regulators.
One could focus solely on xâs and oâs. The other could focus on the playerâs school and social challenges. But, donât we already have someone that does that?
Yeah, that would go over like a pregnant pole vaulter. Hire a non-member HC and pay him a lot of money and hire a LDS guy and make him be a babysitter for the non-LDS guy for a lot less money. But come to think about it, that is how LDS folks are paid by the church, a good deal less than non-LDS people in similar positions outside the church.
Dew, you are correct. It doesnât make sense! No 2 masters concept.

Dew, I like your thinking. I had not thought about it but what you say, makes a lot of sense.
Two Head Coaches, one LDS from an FCS college that gets a great boost of respect on his resume and is willing to take the job for very little money, while the second HC may or may not be LDS in good standing, but has successful P5 HC experience that we could pay a competitive stipend to.
I really like your idea Dew. I hope this idea finds the way to our AD, should our current HC eventually get promoted to a P5 coaching job.
Arkie, I think that the main idea is being over looked by a secondary idea.
The Main indea is how can we open the door, a bit wider, in able to get coaches chosen from the best available in the nation and not just the very few to choose from that are LDS.
Your idea, a secondary idea to the problem addresses more the feeling of an individual coach (LDS) that may be slighted if offered less than the Non-LDS coach that has the greater experience as a successful P5 HC.
Feeling of an LDS coach is important. But finding a way to attract the best coaches in the nation to our program, and still meet the LDS requirement to have that membership as a head coach ia what this post is all about.
Actually, I see no conflict as an LDS head coach, coming from a lesser University or perhaps the FCS, knows that his value is not worth that of an experienced successful P5 HC.
âDew, you are correct. It doesnât make sense! No 2 masters concept.â
Except for this:
One master would be head coach in charge of all Church Related Issues, and University related issues, i.e. honor code, academic standards, missionaries, active part of recruiting etc.
The other master would concentrate on teaching skills, coaching the team to play like P5 team members , and act like a P5 team, consistently, and teaching how to win with the proper play calling at all the right time and places.
Thank you grasshopper.
Grasshopper,
All that you said in this post, I could agree with, however, I still think that the main obstacle is not the honor code, the missionary, the academic standards, but actually it is the fact that we refuse to pay them the amount that most any other P5 team would be willing to pay
Good grief! Have you ever been a head coach of anything? How many bishops does a Ward have? Heâs right. It would be like a baby sitter for sure. The AD and couple others are in charge of kids and coaches behaving properly.
Naw! We just need to consentrate in player execution and putting time in to game study and knowing the entire playbook. Sitaki can do that. He did against BSU.
