Alex is a great coach and would head the list of folks with Utah ties. I think Utah ties are great but not key. I do agree that if we have a top paid coach we should have results that are commensurate. But as we try to finish the season as well as possible I don’t want to burden the players with the additional load of worrying about a lame duck coach. The best possible thing that can happen over the next few weeks is for the players to grind to their best possible results and the new recruits to look forward to coming in. Concern for next year, I think for me, is better saved for after the season. However, I am older and not in the position to ’86’ a year in progress and start thinking about down the road. If I had 30 years of Utah sports to enjoy, I would enjoy trying most anything you like. Over the last few years Larry Scott drove me a bit crazy but I found myself with 50 parts trying to enjoy Pac sports and maybe 1 part trying to imagine what a better Comish would be like. I am also an optimist, so I enjoy looking at the slim possibility that if we continue winning we could bump Oregon out of the top 4 for a first round bye in the conference tournament. After the season I do wonder what will take place. The next 4 weeks will have lots of impact on that.
