Mental Let Go

[Kuttaak]

I am happy for WSU, I am surprised because I thought the president leaving for Logan would slow this down. I didn't understand why Mental was hired in the first place. I don't think he would have been a finalist at any other Big Sky school. I hope the hiring committee opens up the search to include coaches without ties to Weber State so that the best available coach has a chance.

Firing now gives them a headstart on a new hire. Forget anyone from Utah or BYU. The days of an assistant from power conferences dropping down are long gone.

For what it's worth, the Interim Pres came from a school that expects good football. Don't know if she was involved in this at all, just a thought. And maybe, just maybe, the last Pres was holding the athletic department back. Seems like a very nice guy. Maybe too nice for today's college athletics.

Just spitballing here, and probably a long shot to pull him away from the NFL, but how about Alex Whittingham? He's only a low level assistant so maybe a chance to move back to Utah and get head coaching experience would be appealing to him.
