Cougar TD All-American

One well-placed source indicated that Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak had initially refused to sign Lohner’s release, but that the coach’s wishes were overridden by his boss, athletic director Mike Harlan, who ultimately authorized the move.

Their report says that it was Harlan, not Krysto. Harlan forced his hand

Harlan deserves props then.

Harlan must understand the PR disaster it would be for an already sinking program.

I'll think positively toward Harlan. 80k & KW? Not a chance.

That's certainly fair. But Hill was always a bigger problem than those two.

Did you watch any of last season? Think that’s what went into the decision. No reason for more.

Soupie

Maybe but that wouldn't just be tempo of play would it?

Haha. No. It’s called success, respect for players & the game, energy, development ...all of it.

Harlan so far has shown a willingness to be a partner with BYU multiple times

The last AD (Hill) was a big part of the problem

Correct. Hill was the guy who poisoned the water esp. after PAC-12 move

fulano

He’s said many times that he believes rivalries are the lifeblood of college sports. He understands that BYU-utah is one

Legit question

I think Harlan's move is more to continue building his case for firing 80k.

Bronco era? You mean the guy who said it was just another game? I don't follow.

TailgateU

Yeah, why mention Bronco but not Whittingham, the man so petty he won’t even

Bronco always released guys as a core philosophy. Stirring the hornets nest.

Odds higher BYU signs Lohner & Averette than your starters are right. Slow down.

His release doesn't mean he can play right away. That's an NCAA decision.
