Nope. Which is why a Lds recommend holder is the best bet.Gunk wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 12:38 pm To the board, I imagine football is little more than a missionary tool. So, yes, I imagine it matters to them that the head coach represent the church and their priorities.
I know people that have applied and are professors at BYU. The interview process is more intense than what they put missionaries through. I have heard accounts of BYU delving into why candidates only have 1 or 2 children, the rationale being that professors are supposed to be model examples of what an LDS family look like.
I know of candidates and institute teachers, being told that unless they get married within a certain time they would not be considered or if they had a job they would be fired.
A friend of mine applied to BYU. BYU wanted to speak to his bishop. When he asked the bishop what was discussed the bishop said he was not at liberty to say that he (the bishop) was sworn to secrecy. This is how BYU treats professors. Do you think a non-member football coach would put up with such?
AND why all the whining and complaining about the HC and needing to be a temple recommend holder to be head coach is stupid. BYU is and LDS school, first, foremost and forever. Sports are used as missionary tools, the program has a mission and Bronco pretty well told us what it was.BroncoBot wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 2:21 pmNope.

That would be iffy coaching experience. Let's see what he can do with a D1 program instead of a 45 player semi-pro team.a1247 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2017 9:21 pm He HAS been coaching that's the reason I brought his name up in the first place

45 semi pro players who all played college football. He's more qualified through professional experience then the current receivers and running backs coaches.Fido wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2017 8:03 pmThat would be iffy coaching experience.
