Remember when AJ was interviewed after picking BYU, he said one of the reasons

was to be with a team who had a chance to compete for the NC, and the interviewer laughed at it?

Who's laughing now? KY is showing he is an elite Championship caliber coach. We may even get close this year if we stay hot.

Imagine what will happen next year at BYU with more of his system, players and coaching entrenched.

AJ has some prophet in there.

He took a team that was sucking, 2-5 in conference to start, and completely

I agree with you. But that doesn’t mean “championship level.”

Look at us after time outs. Reminds me of great coaches

That doesn’t make him a championship-level coach. I’m not saying he’s a bad

Because I disagree with the word he used

The way he's cultivated his bench this year is amazing as well

Chill dude. You can be a championship level coach before winning a championship

What makes you a championship level coach then?

Mar 13, 6:11pm

Do what he's done this year. Still need to win a championship. Took Andy Reid years to win a championship

There are a million examples of championship level coaches coaching non-championship level players.

I’m incredibly optimistic. I love this team, I love KY, and I think we can go on

Sorry, should’ve clarified. Meant NCAA tourney (not conference tourney).

Amen -not to take anything away from all that KY and his awesome staff have done

I'm excited to see what he can do with a full recruiting cycle.
