That’s a great post! Isn’t Sean in Houston now? Doing radio?

Posts like this help explain why being a sports reporter in Utah is so hard. CB has some content that is hard to beat.

True. A few times a week someone with insight or specific experience (and often

Sports reporters actually get most of their content from CB though.

Mel Kiper helped BYU's QB pipeline too.

ManicBlue

Jan 4, 12:47am

Koy Detmer was also a consideration to be the QB in that era

Mel Kiper alone wasn't why John Walsh left.

Of course not.

And Shaun Salisbury is not the only reason USC beat Washington…or the reason…

ochobeeguy

Jan 4, 9:52am

IIRC, John Walsh was friends with Steve Sarkisian and helped recruit him to take his place. That is just my vague memory

PJMort

That is correct.

Love it!

I was in the same Ward with Sean his senior year at Orange Glen H.S.

Norge Coug

Orange Glen in Escondido? If so, that’s crazy I didn’t realize that Kozlowski and Salisbury played HS football there.

Yep, that was my HS. Koz played at Carlsbad, IIRC

Glen did indeed go to Carlsbad high.

Went to a game at CHS several years ago, he was still on the Lancer Wall of Fame

cosmohio

FYI, he was injured and out almost the entire 1984 season. He was a great one,

Yep. Tim Green was the QB for USC.

Ted Tollner was BYU’s QB coach 3 years earlier

So he wasn’t the one to beat Washington? Dang not as cool but rest of the post

As a newly returned missionary in the 1987-88 school year

Plus his younger brother was at BYU at that point

Dan

Jan 4, 4:18pm

Good point. I was on my mission in '86 and wasn't really aware of his brother

Wow! Great inside story. Thanks for posting!

There’s more story than that. Had a solid career with ESPN that ended badly.

What happened with ESPN? Never have heard this story.

It’s on his Wikipedia page.

He was in the bishopric in my ward when that whole thing went down.

Wow. Brave man to admit his mistake. We should remember we all make them.

From his picture on his LinkedIn page, I'm guessing he is still working though

This guy?

Parker Schnabel

Yes, that is him. But search for "Brett Salisbury model" or something like that.

Not enough suspense or cliff hanging to pull off a great Paul Harvey moment

I wasn’t thinking Paul Harvey at all until I was done …

I think the John Fricke + Sean Salisbury show was the early show, maybe 7-9am, then Rome came on. I used to listen

I guess that makes sense. I was still in HS so I was an afternoon/weekend listener.

thumbs up for the Paul Harvey reference.

Should have fired LaVell for not signing Salisbury.

We were all (local members) sort of shocked he did not choose BYU
