Madsen appears to be out

Zero surprise.

Burgess time

Burgess is the right call. Protect what we have.

CougLyfe

Apr 12, 8:17am

But get a HC w upside as well. Which is why Fueger is the right call.

I'd be totally down with Cody. Just can't see Holmoe hiring a non-LDS HC

Zombre

Apr 12, 8:20am

We could probably lure Cody away if we were to offer. Ain't his wife LDS? I'm a strong believer

As opposed to Burgess? Fueger has more coaching experience than Burgess.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 12, 8:22am

That’s great but Fueger isn’t a realistic option

LakeshowCougs

Apr 12, 8:23am

Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him follow Pope to Kentucky for similar $$

LeGrandBleu

He really wants a shot at head coaching somewhere, though. To start off in the Big 12 would be hard to top.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 12, 8:32am

BYU head coach needs a thorough understanding of LDS culture for recruiting.

And Fueger doesn't know enough? C'mon now.

Burgess will run to Utah the moment that job opens up (which will be soon)

I doubt they intend to hire him.

SinkingQuffa

Why not?

Plantagenet

Not HC material. And they would know that as good as anyone.

Burgess is not a BYU guy. He wants to be elsewhere.

They're usually different when they come from a Scott Drew or Mark Madsen though because they aren't slimeballs
