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.

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 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.

Good post. Rack him.

Hope it was worth burning every bridge at his alma mater

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

IceCreamButt

Nov 25, 12:11pm

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

Nittany Cougar

Nov 25, 2:19pm

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

Only against Utah

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

True but also Whitt:

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

No. Whit can kick rocks.

AZPTCOUG

Just keeping him accountable

JupiterJones

Nov 25, 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

Nov 25, 1:33pm

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

Unibro

Nov 25, 1:58pm

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

Definitely top 50

IceBlue

Maybe. Safely top 150.

AZ Coug

Nov 25, 10:21pm

How about no.

IceCreamButt

Nov 25, 10:08pm

Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

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

homegrown

Nov 25, 1:25pm

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

canuckchuck

Basically he's Darth Vader

“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

Nov 25, 2:02pm

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

Still Blue

Nov 25, 2:21pm

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

Rocketman

Nov 25, 2:22pm

He made his bed. Let him lie in it.

LateToTheGame

Nov 25, 2:59pm

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

Jasbo

Nov 25, 3:12pm

That is not how it went down.

Chase

Nov 25, 3:48pm

That didn't happen.

shakarocks

Nov 25, 3:50pm

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

That is a new one

Hahah. The SLTrib? Hahaha

Chase

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

WillsPitStop

Nov 25, 3:45pm

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

Hill4Heisman

Nov 25, 4:10pm

That's a big matzo ball

AlexKnight

Nov 25, 4:36pm

I believe he responded with "I know"

JupiterJones

Nov 25, 4:36pm

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

whirl

Nov 25, 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

Nov 25, 5:43pm

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

DeepCCoug

Nov 25, 5:57pm

You're equating high school personal with adult persona?

shakarocks

Nov 25, 6:03pm

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

Aircooled

Nov 25, 6:41pm

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

wildwilderness

Nov 25, 7:00pm

Please provide actual evidence

shakarocks

Nov 25, 7:23pm

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

AlexKnight

Nov 25, 7:32pm

My evidence isn't anecdotal.

shakarocks

Nov 25, 7:40pm

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

AlexKnight

Nov 25, 8:04pm

I'll tell you whatever I want

shakarocks

Nov 25, 10:05pm

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

AlexKnight

Nov 25, 10:23pm

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

GoodBetterBestBYU

Kyle's

Nov 25, 11:17pm

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

No, just hopes and dreams

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