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

He will take comfort knowing Utes got little ROI for what they paid him.

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

Malcolm Reynolds

Since batty understands Bootahs language….maybe some of them

I don't know how many of these guys we'd actually want. Not sure there's all that much on that roster that would

I would take Smith Snowden and Keanu Tanuvasa in a HEARTBEAT!!!

These two above all else! Love those guys!

Players leaving the Ute program

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

He made his deal with the devil. He can live with it

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

Good post. Rack him.

Hope it was worth burning every bridge at his alma mater

HRCougar

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

12:11pm

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

2:19pm

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

ChiCityCoug

Only against Utah

It will certainly be interesting to watch what happens to a retired KW. Unless

Emmett Fitz-Hume

12:08pm

True but also Whitt:

ProvoY

12:51pm

Yup that’s what I’ve been thinking the entire time I’m reading this. He has

Blue chunks

Kyle was among the best linebackers we ever had. When he tackled an opponent he

I didn't try to diminish his accomplishments, I don't think. I'm more addressing

Benedict Arnold also did some great things for the Continental Army before he

russkiejedi

No. Whit can kick rocks.

AZPTCOUG

Just keeping him accountable

JupiterJones

1:26pm

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

CalGTR

1:33pm

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

Unibro

1:58pm

*As KW said to SY, when he tackled him OUT OF BOUNDS, in practice….

Iman23

*AFTER Young (a freshman) had burned him repeatedly in the same practice

AZ Coug

7:40pm

Definitely top 50

IceBlue

4:52pm

Maybe. Safely top 150.

AZ Coug

10:21pm

How about no.

10:08pm

Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

DeepCCoug

1:00pm

There's more to the Whitt story than I think we know but his behavior has been

homegrown

1:25pm

Kalani bends over backwards to extend olive branches and puff up Utah

canuckchuck

1:27pm

Basically he's Darth Vader

Great38

“Smug in Victory, Bitter in Defeat” should be on the statue they build of him at

I will send him a pair of nice leather pants as a retirement present.

One minor correction -

Eddie

2:02pm

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

Still Blue

2:21pm

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

Rocketman

2:22pm

He made his bed. Let him lie in it.

TrueBlue67

Re: I don’t feel bad…

LateToTheGame

2:59pm

He didn't "spurn" BYU; Holmoe's boss, A.V.P. Skousen put the offer on hold to

Jasbo

3:12pm

That is not how it went down.

Chase

3:48pm

That didn't happen.

shakarocks

3:50pm

This is NOT what I have heard face to face with Holmoe. So...he didn't know?

notaboy

4:13pm

That is a new one

johnnybyu

That's NOT what Lavell told one of the assistant coaches that I know

Go back to the SL Tribune at the time.

Jasbo

Hahah. The SLTrib? Hahaha

Chase

He is living proof that what goes around comes around. He has acted petty and

And the worst part: when Kalani said "I love you"... he didn't repeat it back

Hill4Heisman

4:10pm

That's a big matzo ball

AlexKnight

4:36pm

I believe he responded with "I know"

JupiterJones

4:36pm

On your last sentence: BYU will go out of its way to give him redemption.

whirl

5:37pm

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

GoodBetterBestBYU

5:43pm

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

DeepCCoug

5:57pm

You're equating high school personal with adult persona?

shakarocks

6:03pm

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

Aircooled

6:41pm

That’s not valid- often arrogant narcissists will appear “nice and upstanding”

7:00pm

Please provide actual evidence

shakarocks

7:23pm

He did provide evidence. Much more than you did. Why is

AlexKnight

7:32pm

My evidence isn't anecdotal.

shakarocks

7:40pm

First, don't tell me to "stop". It's a discussion board. If people are

AlexKnight

8:04pm

I'll tell you whatever I want

shakarocks

10:05pm

I noticed you didn't answer how your evidence isn't anecdotal. Understandable.

AlexKnight

10:23pm

Ok, this will settle it: who’s Dad is tougher?

GoodBetterBestBYU

Kyle's

shakarocks

The word narcissist may be right behind hate as one of the most overused words in the last 10 years

By the way, when he came to the recruiting camp at the you were, my boy was, he was very pleasant, actually seemed

GoodBetterBestBYU

Not by my count.

The real Count and the rivalry

I haven’t been on here. Did I miss something? official word he is retiring?

8:14pm

No, just hopes and dreams

Thundergun Express

8:34pm

Statement saying he will decide if he is going to retire after the last game

I feel nothing for Kyle
