to see if they couldn't find an experienced HC, not a defensive coordinator. The Utah job came open and Whitt got a big offer plus revenge for not respecting his ability.

He's been anti-BYU ever since. Point: we brought it on.

I don't feel "bad" exactly for Kyle, but he's a tragic figure.

Friend with some connections in the Ute program said they already know of about 25 players planning to leave.

I have to think they have guys on their d-line and o-line that would help BYU

Benedict Whittingham deserves everything he is getting right now. Karmic redemption from the universe healing itself.

I feel like admin will turn the other cheek and try to be outwardly welcoming.

I feel the opposite here. I wish BYU would retire his number.

We could invite him to run out the Alumni flag one game haha

No. Whit can kick rocks.

JupiterJones

His contributions as a player are great, but that's where it ends. As a coach, he's gone way beyond what a rival coach

As he said to Steve Young when he tackled him IN PRACTICE: "STAY DOWN!"

One minor correction -

If he retires, I will only be sad he can't lose any more games to BYU

He went through about 10 offensive coordinators and mismanaged the QB room most

He made his bed. Let him lie in it.

Kyle by all counts is a great human personally. The problem is he has had 4 years of really soft pac 12 coming into B12

Nope. I know people who went to high school with him. They despise him.

You're equating high school personal with adult persona?

This is lame. Please don’t. I know people who know Kyle well
