I am a little embarassed by it. We've coveted KW for a long time. He owned Norm Chow and then Gary Crowton for most of the last ten years.
He was our first choice as head coach. He turned us down. We ended up with a nobody that's half the coach KW is. Bronco appears to be growing into the job but he has a long way to go. But now that we lost him we shouldn't be obsessed with him. That's the U's job to be obsessed with us.
KW will probably ultimately fail because BYU has too much history and resources to allow football to fail, and I don't think a Mormon coach at Utah can be successful while BYU is good.
Utah's standard for greatness is to 1) go non-Mormon and ignore the LDS market for the most part and take the LDS kids that grow up Ute fans and fall in your lap (Majerus, Giac, and where Urban was going) or 2) go Mormon and make a frontal assault at BYU and win. #2 is pretty risky.
