Re: Chuckie Keeton now an NFL coach

Re: Great Osobor

My angst with the constantly changing coaches and players is that it creates the perception of being a farm team where a player or coach says, "Hey, I can go to USU for maybe a year or two and then step up to something where I get paid more." The lack of continuity increases the chances that the pro...
