Sounds like it's the same position he held before the text controversy.

I hope A lot and often especially in recruiting against Utah.

I hope not. Rivalry aside scalley is a good guy. He doesn’t deserve that.

Outside of CB?

Pete Thamel is one of the highest profile college guys on Twitter, he mentioned

Anybody recruiting against Utah would be logical here

Give it to Morgan and then poach Jay Hill back.

Virginia Ute

Jul 1, 1:31pm

Nah, this move by u was a strong case for BYU to retain JH as our HC in waiting.

Buster Scruggs

Jul 1, 2:31pm

I agree. It’s wishful thinking. I like jay Hill over Scalley for Utah HC, but I realize it’s not in the cards.

Virginia Ute

Jul 1, 3:23pm

Were I a Ute I would be hoping for the same thing. It’s what I’m hoping

HiLife

Yes, I was hoping they'd settle for ol' Scalleywag.

threezeroeight

Jul 1, 9:17am

Scalley probably got an offer somewhere and this is to keep him at the yew.

XORCoug

Jul 1, 9:17am

Scalley won’t leave UU. He isn’t going anywhere.

rainorsnow

Jul 1, 9:59am

He is very unique for having only ever been at Utah.

Madam Pattirini

Jul 1, 10:34am

He will never leave UU. UU could get him for a discount but he plays good poker.

rainorsnow

Jul 1, 10:41am

RE: Scalley won’t leave UU. He isn’t going anywhere.

ImaFBfan

Jul 1, 10:48am

And did he leave? No. Every coach does that. He was never going to leave.

rainorsnow

Jul 1, 10:59am

Whitts last contract made clear he was thinking

cougarfann888

Jul 1, 9:18am

Can’t wait until it’s BYU HC Hill vs U HC Scalley. Great rivalry!

Big Daddy D

Jul 1, 9:20am

OK, Scal, we're on a 7 year exit plan with Whit.

BlueFever

Jul 1, 9:21am

This makes me happy.

Ham

Jul 1, 9:23am

My concern would be that Jay Hill goes up to the U as defensive coordinator.

Powerbait DPM

Jul 1, 9:39am

This. Scalley will definiely make a serious effort to bring in Jay Hill and some of our defensive staff.

U.E. McGill

Jul 1, 9:44am

Does this happen at rivalry schools often or is it only a BYU-Utah thing?

Powerbait DPM

Jul 1, 9:48am

Can't say for sure. But the LDS coaches component and how close both schools are (35 miles) surely plays a part here.

U.E. McGill

Jul 1, 10:06am

51 miles*

NonmormonYfan89

Jul 1, 1:22pm

Meh...whats 16 miles between best enemies

U.E. McGill

Jul 1, 1:58pm

Nope. As of right now the plan is to make Shaw the DC

eyebleedblu

Jul 1, 5:55pm

Hopefully with a raise so his wife doesn't have to rip off old people anymore.

byubyu

Jul 1, 6:03pm

Is she still in jail?

HiLife

Jul 1, 7:08pm

They asked Shaw but he wasn't even aware she was locked up. Just like he

byubyu

Jul 1, 7:48pm

We shall see. I would love to be wrong on this one.

U.E. McGill

Jul 1, 10:09pm

But why? He's already getting paid as much as he would at Utah.

Rise Against

Jul 1, 9:57am

For one Utah is his alma mater and he's coached there before

CameronG

Jul 1, 9:59am

I very much doubt this

hereforlaughs

Jul 1, 10:39am

You realize that after this year BYU and Utah will make exactly the same amount

Carnac

Jul 1, 10:42am

I'm fully aware

hereforlaughs

Jul 1, 10:54am

I think you are seeing a change in philosophy at BYU

Carnac

Jul 1, 11:06am

BYU’s boosters focusing on BB is a last few months development.

CPAcoug87

Jul 1, 11:06am

Reality is that Utah is "home" for Hill. All else being equal, that's probably where his heart is

krindorr

Jul 1, 1:15pm

IIRC, he has a daughter attending BYU.

slatecoug

Jul 1, 3:08pm

or his free half-tuition waiver. But regardless, I think he likes BYU

runnincoug

Jul 1, 3:18pm

Didn't he say he grew up going to BYU games?

CameronG

Jul 1, 3:45pm

Sitake will plug Tuiaki back in if that happens.

BlueFever

Jul 1, 10:18am

Try that and Cougar Nation will unplug Kalani.

Brisco

Jul 1, 4:54pm

I wouldn't bet my life on it if they need a head coach besides Scalley.

Plantagenet

Jul 1, 11:02am

I wonder if they'll renig the offer if something better comes along.

Ted Lasso

Jul 1, 9:25am

Non Committable coaching offer?

It's a common misspelliing.

And one by one, we'll make it an uncommon mispelling

Greg Kite's 'stache

Jul 1, 9:44am

But in Scalley’s case, the two can be used interchangeably

stoils

Jul 1, 1:15pm

You have a point

Greg Kite's 'stache

Jul 1, 2:11pm

This probably signals K-Whitt's last year then

P-Boy Squad

Jul 1, 9:25am

He has said, in the past, that he didn’t see himself coaching past 65.

Everyman

Jul 1, 9:33am

UteFootballGM can't see to grasp that Whitt won't coach forever and

Carnac

Jul 1, 9:45am

Seriously. This is Kyle's 20th season as head coach.

Ungoy

Jul 1, 10:01am

The eyeroll from UtahFootballGM is laughable--bro, if you only knew

kansascougar

Jul 1, 9:55am

K Whitt seems like the type to hear a rumor of his retirement, then stay another

Polecat

How much taxpayer money goes to UofU while they are throwing away $5 million on

BYUtka

Jul 1, 9:32am

Throwing that much at a first time head coach seems like a bad idea but maybe

ImRonBurgundy?

Jul 1, 9:38am

Seems like an irresponsible waste of resources and misuse of taxes by the

BYUtka

Jul 1, 9:45am

Agree... most of us would agree to coach them for $1/year!

BamaCoug

Jul 1, 9:41am

Looks like no direct state support but $10.2M from the institution (which is funded by the state)

krindorr

Jul 1, 8:35pm

Interestingly, Utah actually gets less state/institution support than USU, about the same as UVU, Utah Tech, SUU

krindorr

Jul 1, 8:55pm

Whitt said he wouldn't coach past his age 65 season. He turns 65 in Nov. This

rbr

Jul 1, 9:44am

He also once said Utah had the best QB situation in the nation, and that he'd

Polecat

Jul 1, 5:29pm

This should not be shocking to anyone.

kansascougar

Jul 1, 9:45am

Not surprised. They did a good job defusing the situation & keeping Morgan's mouth shut — beyond a very simple apology

SinkingQuffa

Jul 1, 9:54am

Whitt's going to leave before they join the Big Ten?

Spiff

Jul 1, 10:12am

I bet he wants one crack at the Big12 title. They feel confident about their team.

SinkingQuffa

Jul 1, 10:15am

I think last year would have been if they'd been great.

Madam Pattirini

Jul 1, 10:36am

I think Whitt is retiring soon, so this makes sense

Croweater

Jul 1, 10:39am

As a Ute fan - I am pleased. I think Whit retires in January.

ImaFBfan

Jul 1, 10:51am

That is surprising. Lil' Scalleywag ain't done nothin and ain't gonna do nothin.

Rocketman

Jul 1, 11:27am

He will be a good coach much better offensively

Bobmarleyjr

Jul 1, 11:48am

This should concern BYU fans a little. Scalley is VERY good at recruiting LDS

ALUF 1990

Jul 1, 12:44pm

His catch phrase is “don’t worry, they don’t even sell that in RES”

JackStack

Jul 1, 12:57pm

Why did Max Hall get a lot of grief for saying

Rubble

Jul 1, 1:30pm

Because double standards and they don't understand the concept

CameronG

Jul 1, 1:59pm

Probably because he did not say that.

ImaFBfan

Jul 1, 2:37pm

Utah had a loaded coaching staff that season.

Cougstreak

Jul 1, 3:06pm

Isnt he already recruiting against us now? Is he now allowed to recruit when he is HC? I dont see how much changes

P-Boy Squad

Jul 1, 3:34pm

Yep...he knows how to talk about both sides.....

WJCougar

Jul 1, 4:04pm

I don’t know how it differs from right now. Whit is a member too, obviously.

D.T. Survivor

Jul 1, 6:18pm

Scalley is a more devout member and it shows without him saying it.

ALUF 1990

Jul 1, 7:49pm

I hate the Utes but a solid move. And he shouldn’t be cancelled for what he did

Honor Code

The anti cancel culture view is part of his popularity with BYU fans..its
