Craig Smith is polishing up a recruiting pitch now for Chandler. And Craig Smith is wondering if Burgess is going to be helping Smith with the U of U pitch to Chandler or making his own pitch as the new BYU coach. If it was another school without much recruiting overlap, it would be easier to keep positive feelings about the whole thing.
Its probably a rare thing for these guys to be a finalist somewhere because so many assistants want to become head coaches with the bump in pay. So maybe the rarity would favor the open communication.
