"With such a young team, the Utes may be hard-pressed to challenge for the MWC title again this year."

Don't be fooled everyone. Kim Tillie, Luka Drca, David Foster, and Carlon Brown are Ray Giacaletti recruits. All four players look to be starters. It looks like it will be another year before we see if Boylen can actually recruit. Yes, he is coaching these players, and kept them when Giac got the axe, but......can he recruit?

It didn't take you long to crawl out from under your rock and start bagging on Boylen. I expect we'll be hearing a lot more from you in the coming months. I expect Boylen to prove you wrong.

will create the impression his team is good, then lose enough games in the last few weeks to give the Utes another year without an outright conference championship and an early loss in a tournament somewhere.

No greater myth exists than the belief that Boylen is a good coach.

Wait. Stop the presses. The Boston Celtics have shown interest in hiring Boylen. He's a hot commodity!
A myth? Sure... | 4:45 p.m. Oct. 19, 2009
The myth of Boylen, is that like the myth of Whittingham?

How about the myth of Urban Meyer?

Maybe even the myth of Rich Majerus.

Face it Coog fans always think Ute coaches are "myths" until they beat BYU and win a title, even then they are "flukes" until they do it again.

Well face the facts, Boylen does have a MWC title and if shared titles don't count then how come BYU fans and press are talking about "going for 4 titles in a row?"

Oh then there is that little issue of the 2009 Utes backing up that tri-title with the MWC tournament title.

If losing a NCAA 1st round game makes a coach a myth then Dave Rose is a Myth 3 times over isn't he? Heck lets add in the 2006 NIT ouster and Rose is 0-4, dang that is starting to make BYU's football Bowl record look good.

I encourage BYU fans to make a lot of noise about how bad a coach Jim Boylen is... It will make what is coming over the next 4-5 years that much more enjoyable.
