uhhhh what???

ProvoProwler

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

OPINIONS

Jul 1, 9:16am

Yep

Knee Brace

Jul 1, 9:18am

I wonder how much people (from Utah and elsewhere) will bring up the controversy

thewaterboy

Jul 1, 10:11am

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

kahuna

Jul 1, 11:57am

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

Outside of CB?

CrimsonCardinal

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

Jul 1, 3:00pm

Anybody recruiting against Utah would be logical here

stansburycoug

Jul 1, 4:17pm

Give it to Morgan and then poach Jay Hill back.

Jul 1, 1:31pm

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

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.

Jul 1, 3:23pm

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

HiLife

Jul 1, 7:09pm

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

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.

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?

Ycrazy

Jul 1, 9:25am

*renege

Greg Kite's 'stache

It's a common misspelliing.

Ted Lasso

RE: It's a common misspelliing.

Jul 1, 9:36am

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

Jul 1, 3:16pm

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

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.

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

Jul 1, 5:01pm

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

stansburycoug

Will Yewts have to switch from a goatee to a beard and mustache?

He’s a mini Whitt. We in trouble
