Interesting. Has some good company with the other head coaches on that list.

Interesting. I wonder if BYU "negotiates" with agents. Based on Bronco's stories, it seems as if the position is more of a calling, not a job offer, in that you are meeting with high level Church officials to discuss expectations, worthiness, etc.

I wonder if Bronco's agent influenced his meetings with the Church during the hiring process?

Bronco: Show me the money! Say it with me one time, Elder Eyring!
Elder Eyring: Show you the money.
Bronco: oh, you could do better than that! I want you to say it with meaning....
Elder Eyring: Show you the money!
Bronco: Not show YOU the money. Show ME the money!
Elder Eyring: Show me the money!
Bronco: You better yell!
Elder Eyring: SHOW ME THE MONEY!
Bronco: Do you love this white man?
Elder Eyring: I love the white man. Show me the money!
Bronco: I love white people!
Elder Eyring: I Love white people!

Substitute with "Bear me the testimony!" and I think you're getting somewhere.

That was funny.

I think Bronco meant it was a calling like the quest didn't have anything to do with football.

Every candidate for a faculty position goes through the same type of interview with both the Academic VP and a General Authority. I imagine the more high profile the position, the more high profile the GA. I interviewed with Charles Didier, member of the 70. It was basically a temple recommend interview, really low key, he asked me to bear my testimony.

I don't know if it is intentional, but when you interview for a job at BYU, it kind of does feel like a calling, especially because most departments keep tabs on all of their alumni that go on to graduate school and then try to hire them back when they've finished. Just about everyone I know that works at BYU was invited to apply for the job, none of them came from a national search, in the way most jobs are advertised.

Much more stressful was the Academic VP interview. He was really nosy and it seemed like his job was to make sure that BYU wasn't hiring anyone that would rock the boat or surprise them with a hidden agenda. I don't blame them for doing that as they want to find a good match, I just wish they were more open so that a wider range of qualified candidates could potentially be a good match.

ps-I got a good laugh out of your dialogue DDD. The visual image of Eyring getting excited like that had me laughing for a while.
