So are you BYU fans getting embarrassed - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

By the amount of coverage that every single word that Whittingham utters is getting on cougarboard. Ever single word the man seems to say, brings about page after page of posts. I remember last offseason that utefans.net was overrun with posts about what Bronco or Curtis Brown had said. It got ridiculous and embarrassing. Glad the tables are turned this time.

Yeah, kinda. I love a Kyleperbole as much as the next guy, but some guys just obsess over it and get ticked off.

I really like Kyle Wittingham. I wouldn't say I wish he was coaching at BYU, but it does sting a little that he's at the U.

Annoyed by the constant attention to his comments out of context.

I wanted Whit as our coach, but will deal with Bronco now that he's here. That said, I do not pay attention to what Whit says, as he doesn't coach the Cougs.

The comments on both boards at times resembles the commentary some of my elementary school children once uttered. "Can you believe he said ..."

If those are not the most inane style of comments, then I do not know what is.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we really dont have anything to talk smack about. Last season I started talking a bit of smack after BYU beat Colorado St and New Mexico and the U lost to them, but they beat us, so now, we have to wait atleast until the season gets underway.

I no longer talk smack. I just let the scoreboard do the talking.

I don't understand it either...and the latest thing that people are getting up in arms about is him saying that certain players have all conference potential...gotta hate a guy who believes in his team...

We're seeing more criticism of Weddle too...it should be fun to see that Circus continue.

Not at all.

I like KW a lot. He has put his foot in his mouth thus far a lot more than Bronco has, but that doesn't mean I don't like and respect KW as a person and coach.

Of course, U fans never harp on Curtis Brown, Bronco's slip n slide, Poppinga victories...etc...etc.

It's no biggie either way.

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.

Riiiiiight.. that's a pretty bold comment, and i think you are dead wrong. both schools ended up with the right coach for them.

If I am reading this correctly, KW's success is entirely based upon how BYU performs?
Secondly, how would a good BYU team prevent an LDS coach at Utah from winning?
