Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Recent reports suggest that BYU football coach Kalani Sitake has been fielding interest from other schools, potentially using these offers to leverage a more lucrative contract extension from BYU. While this strategy is not uncommon in college football, it has raised some eyebrows among fans and analysts.

Sitake has been the head coach at BYU since 2016, leading the Cougars to several successful seasons and a recent move to the Big 12 conference. His strong track record and connections to the university have made him a sought-after coach. However, some believe that his decision to explore other options could be seen as disloyal to BYU, especially after the university recently extended his contract.

On the other hand, Sitake's agents may be using these other offers as a negotiating tactic to secure a more favorable deal for their client. This is a common practice in professional sports, and it's not uncommon to see college coaches employ similar strategies.

Ultimately, whether Sitake's actions are considered strategic or disloyal will depend on the perspective of the viewer. However, it's clear that his name is being mentioned in connection with other jobs, and this could have significant implications for the future of BYU football.

BREAKING: Rich Rodriguez HIRED by West Virginia to Replace Neal Brown, Mixed Mountaineer Reaction

Rich Rodriguez's tenure as the head football coach at West Virginia University (WVU) from 2001 to 2007 was a transformative period for the program. A West Virginia native and former Mountaineer player, Rodriguez brought a high-powered offensive style that revitalized the team and captured the hearts of fans. During his time at WVU, Rodriguez led the Mountaineers to three consecutive Big East Conference championships (2005-2007) and a memorable Sugar Bowl victory over Georgia in 2006. His innovative spread offense, featuring dynamic quarterbacks like Pat White and talented running backs like Steve Slaton, made WVU a force to be reckoned with in college football. However, Rodriguez's departure for the University of Michigan in 2007 left a bitter taste among many WVU fans. Some felt betrayed by his decision to leave for a bigger program, particularly after the team's success under his leadership. Despite the controversy surrounding his departure, Rodriguez's impact on WVU football remains significant. He elevated the program to new heights, establishing a foundation of success that continues to influence the team today. His return to WVU in 2024 as head coach marks a homecoming for a coach who left a lasting legacy on the school and its passionate fanbase.
