Chad Lewis should be the next AD at BYU…He understands the Mission of the Church

coot20

Mar 30, 12:21pm

He would be great, and other ADs would like working with him.

Would love to know your source…cause Chad doesn’t swear. Weird if so

They probably saw a big bald white guy and just assumed it was Chad Lewis

LOL. That actually doesn’t shock me that he was zooming in a no wake zone

Ever heard of Golden Kimball?

Zero belief in this. I know Chad pretty well.

This kind of comment is embarrassing.

ShellieCooper

Yep don’t like this stuff. Seems like it does or should violate rules…

Hammurabi

What could be greater than BYU AD?

Ski-U-Mah

Mar 30, 3:53pm

so he's going to have a calling? probably already has one

Stake president

Hammurabi

I firmly and unequivocally disagree. It should be a successful, forward-thinking

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 12:27pm

Most importantly he needs to be a leader of young men and young women

coot20

Mar 30, 12:35pm

That’s what they can have coaches and assistant ADs for. And in this current era

ManicBlue

Exactly

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 12:53pm

I agree. Chad and Brian are great Assoc. ADs.

The last thing we need is BYU athletics becoming more corporate

Charles Darwin

Mar 30, 12:44pm

It doesn’t have to be them, but something like that. But I think the primary

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 12:52pm

Being respected by that industry doesn’t get you far. The last 2 PAC

Charles Darwin

Mar 30, 1:07pm

No one is saying someone who relies on relationships, but yes, being well

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 1:10pm

Respects gets you nothing in those meetings. They have shown time and time again

Charles Darwin

Mar 30, 1:26pm

Bad take. They have to respect you to be willing to work with you. Then you use

I want a person who will get the church and donors to fund athletics as much as

Charles Darwin

Mar 30, 2:22pm

You keep using the PAC and PAC schools as an example of what you think I want…

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 2:34pm

Scott didn’t have a thing to do with the Apple deal…not sure why you bring that

Charles Darwin

Mar 30, 2:49pm

He put them in the position they were in. Everything that happened afterwards

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 3:40pm

I was barely alive in the 80s so I will have to take your word for it.

Charles Darwin

Mar 30, 5:46pm

I believe FL state and some ACC schools were talking to PE.

CoolB

Mar 30, 6:22pm

Looks like they started talking in 2022 and didn’t end up making the big deal

Charles Darwin

Mar 30, 6:34pm

AD is always more of a figurehead

novacoug1

Mar 30, 12:45pm

Um ... the conference makes decisions with the ADs not the Assoc. ADs.

ManicBlue

Mar 30, 12:48pm

Correct

LSUcougar92

So basically what Southwest Airlines is doing right now? No thanks to that.

COACHdrn

Mar 30, 7:30pm

Did you see the Jazz rebrand?! No thanks. Just take his money 😂

Frankfromtheballpark

Mar 30, 9:35pm

Yep, branding and uniform colors are at the top of AD responsibilities

NYC and Japan

Mar 30, 10:02pm

If he can’t manage that, what makes you think they can manage an entire AD

Frankfromtheballpark

Mar 31, 9:47am

I have no idea if RS would be a good AD, but your comment is absurd. I didn’t

NYC and Japan

Mar 31, 10:35am

Would Jimmer make a good AD at some point in the future?

lbmango

Mar 30, 12:30pm

No. I hate this kind of nepotism.

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 12:55pm

The BYU AD does not have the same power and authority as other ADs around

75Coug

Mar 30, 1:26pm

I would argue that because of that procedural nightmare that the AD is more

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 2:21pm

True. See Fehlberg, Rondo

cajuncoug

Mar 30, 2:32pm

Unfortunately Rondo was stuck with Bateman. Rondo was a great AD

Bluforever

Mar 30, 5:55pm

Nope. Gonna be someone not on anyone's radar. Apologies to Santiago.

kiyoshige

Mar 30, 3:23pm

He has been the AD in training for 2 nearly decades. He is awesome

Mabuhay Coug

Paragraphs my friend. Paragraphs

Bluforever

It was in paragraphs when I hit send. Sometimes it shows differently, sorry

Mabuhay Coug

Awesome story! Sounds like a beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing.

CoolB

Yeah but did you hear him on that jet ski at lake Powell?

lukeskywalker

I must have missed that one

Mabuhay Coug

Mar 31, 10:27am

Regardless of what was said or not said on the lake …

I am obviously not in on the joke. Sorry about the long story post.

Every candidate including Santiago will understand the mission of the church.

Read his book, Surrounded by Greatness, and you'll want Chad Lewis as our AD!!
