I've met him as well and he's been nothing but cordial and good to talk to. Our very own Elder Giff Nielsen is one of them.

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.

Since batty understands Bootahs language….maybe some of them

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.

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

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

Nittany Cougar

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

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

True but also Whitt:

Kyle was among the best linebackers we ever had. When he tackled an opponent he

No. Whit can kick rocks.

Just keeping him accountable

JupiterJones

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

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

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

Definitely top 50

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

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

Basically he's Darth Vader

I will send him a pair of nice leather pants as a retirement present.

One minor correction -

Eddie

2:02pm

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

Still Blue

2:21pm

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

Rocketman

He made his bed. Let him lie in it.

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

That is not how it went down.

That didn't happen.

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

I believe he responded with "I know"

JupiterJones

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

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

5:43pm

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

DeepCCoug

5:57pm

You're equating high school personal with adult persona?

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