If BYU had beaten Utah in 2012 and 2013, Kyle would have been fired.

Probably the same story in 2015 vegas bowl and 2016. If BYU doesnt blow the first quarter and Taysom gets a 2 point play, I think Kyle's future looks very very different.

I think that's the key - he is by utah standards, not "objectively."

Surely it counts that he won a Fiesta Bowl and a Sugar Bowl, the latter vs BAMA.
