Agreed, but regardless of the "seatgate" incident, I can understand why Spencer had no desire to play for Funk.
And Conner Pay may well have transferred out and his little bro gone elsewhere too had he been retained. Funk may have been a nice guy at heart, but sounds like he was a really lazy coach from all accounts out there. I don't know if he was hired when he was because of his Michigan stint/experience, or because he was, sadly, the best available that BYU could afford at the time.
