Seriously. Contrast between where Utah was when he started vs. now.
Rick Majerus. Urban Meyer. Kyle Whittingham. Larry Krystkoviak. $50 mn RES reform courtesy of generous donors, bonds and the SLOC. Middle tier WAC player to PAC 12 membership and preeminence in the State. Top draft picks in NFL and NBA. A top feeder in the new conference to the NFL. Alums on different NBA teams throwing each other #GoUtes on Twitter. PAC12 champs in multiple sports within five years of joining. How many ADs anytime, anywhere can present such a before and after?
Meanwhile, down south, the AD has added to his streak of cratering programs at CAL by pulling BYU out of almost guaranteed BCS membership with Boise and TCU in football, moving football into preferred Thursday night slots and basketball into parochial high school gyms across California. Blowing negotiations with Big East and Big XII. The difference the last 10 years is so stark that it seems retrograde or mean to compare BYU to Utah.
Chris Hill. Dr. GOAT.
