Re: Boise State coming back?
The PAC 12 presidents don't like Boise State because they are not a Carnagie Foundation Research-Doctoral university (not even remotely close), and every member of the PAC 12 is a member of the American Association of Universities, which is a really big deal (There are only 90 members, I think and ...

The obvious difference, of course, being that Dennehy was essentially hired even before DA was canned, but still, we narrowed our search to one guy and got burned for it.

Re: Matt Wells the new HC
I just hope we going into this with our eyes wide open this time, and nobody develops any naive idea that Matt Wells is somehow going to stay in Logan forever. If he wins, he'll be gone again in 4-5 years (or less), and then this process will start all over again. Let's all promise to be big boys an...

Gary did not know he was leaving at that time. So he did what every good coach in this country does. He did his job.

if Matt Wells is not named HC, he'll go to Wisconsin, for the same reasons Andersen has. Bigger stage. More money. Kalani Sitake would bring Aaron Roderick with him as his OC, which would be great. Roderick, a former BYU WR who was QB coach at Utah, was passed over for untested former U QB Brian Joh...
