I know. Will he try to get to 50?"The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

I don't even know. I am completely in the dark about how the recruiting competition goes down between the two schools. I always sort of thought outside of the obvious high rated recruits, they were going after different personnel.Originally posted by Surfah View PostWe got rid of our two worst recruiters on staff.
Does Chow even recruit?
I thought I heard Chow recruited some O-linemen.

When your AD talks about 'getting all the Chinamen lined up to build the place...', you can tell you are no longer in the right place.Originally posted by myboynoah View PostThat sounds like what happens to most people that start at BYU and end up at Utah. It's called the refiners' fire. Sadly, we lose some.

I don't think we need any racist recruits. If they pick their school by the color of their coach's skin, we don't want them.Originally posted by USU Coug View PostThe coaching developments for both BYU and Utah has me worried about the recruiting trajectory of BYU. With Anae and Hill out at BYU, does this have an affect on recruiting minority athletes? Does Utah going to a more pro style offense create a more intense competition for the same athletes? Chow does bring a certain cachet to the younger generation who associates him with USC.Just try it once. One beer or one cigarette or one porno movie won't hurt. - Dallin H. Oaks

This is great news for BYU. All we have to do is get Utah in 3rd and 11+ and we'll know exactly where the ball is going.....draw play up the middle."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

And one or two coaches of color is probably not going to make a huge difference regardless. My bigger question is if Utah goes to a more pro style offense, how does does the recruiting battle change?Originally posted by BlueHair View PostI don't think we need any racist recruits.

Agreed, good thing the AD never said that.Originally posted by NorthwestUteFan View PostWhen your AD talks about 'getting all the Chinamen lined up to build the place...', you can tell you are no longer in the right place."I don't mind giving the church 10% of my earnings, but 50% of my weekend mornings?

Right. It was a BYU vice president. Much worse.Originally posted by ewth8tr View PostAgreed, good thing the AD never said that.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

Yes, not good.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostRight. It was a BYU vice president. Much worse.
Odd though, if Chow had been offered the HC job, we still would have taken it.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

This is good for both Utah and BYU. Good for Utah because Chow is obviously an upgrade over Schroderick. Good for BYU because Chow is not the answer nor the guru he once was. The game has passed him by. I would say Utah and UCLA have similar talent and Chow was unable to get anything going. He struck out at Tennessee and was mutually relieved of his duties at SC. He does not recruit (although rumor has it he landed Su'afilo so maybe there could be a transfer after a mission) and he clashes with a lot of people. I can see him lasting 2 maybe 3 years tops. But like I said it is an upgrade over what they had.*Banned*

Wow big surprise. I found out when junkie sent me a text. I didnt even know this was on the radar. Here is my simple view on this matter:
Is NoCho a step up from Utahs current position? I think so, definitely. It is a great hire for Utah.
Don't know if he will be able to work his same SC magic given the lack of horses at Utah (we saw how well he performed at Fucla with no horses) but I still think he will be able to contribute in a significant way.
To a previous question posed in the thread, no, NoCho did almost no recruiting at SC. That was all Ed O, Pete, Kiffen, and Petes son Brendan to a large degree. Mst everyone agrees that Norm is not a people person. That being said, who cares? Whit can figure out recruiting on his own and use Norms brand recognition to aid in recruiting, even if Norm isn't going to physically be going door to door on the recruiting trail.
One thing is for sure....it just became a heck of lot easier for Utah to recruit QBs over the coming seasons. Very few OCs with Norms resume.
This hire all but makes LaVell the defacto coach of the Utes. There are BYU fingerprints all over the place. Kind of fitting the day after BYU becomes the all time leader in the baketball rivalry!Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

BlueHair's going full cougjunkie. Interesting.Originally posted by BlueHair View PostThis is a horrible hire for Utah. Chow's best days are long behind him. He was successful at USC because it would have been impossible not to have been. My little sister could have been the OC with their talent. UCLA had a horrible offense the whole time he was there. Utah simply doesn't have enough talent to make him look good and he has nothing to offer that will make them better. What a wonderful day!"I don't know the origin of said bitch booming."-Art Vandelay

Is there anything out there to substantiate this other than the tweet? Who is that guy, anyway? Utah's Gman? I'm going to wait until someone else, ANYONE, jumps on this one.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
