Whittingham might have come to BYU if the church asked him to?

You can be committed to your job and not add to the rivalry bitterness.

Church leadership will never turn a sports hire into a calling scenario. That would be really dumb.

They already do, per se, since their hiring must be approved by leadership.

Same as nearly every other job on campus. But a calling is vastly different than a hire.

9/20/19 10:36am
But those at BYU will certainly act as if it is a calling

Agree but is it different than outside of sports? For example, they called Kim B. Clark to be President of BYU-Idaho
