If you want people who did not grow up in Utah to stay active, make certain they don't work for the Church. The Church's attitude toward employment can be dispiriting. Ken obviously valued his great position at Navy more than a huge pay cut and limited facilities and recruiting options.

I'm not sure why you all think he stayed because of money.
He made $2.7M at Navy. Even BYU would easily match that.

Imagine when people learn the highest paid church employee is the football coach.

I don't know...I think a lot or most Mormons would be more comfortable with a coach making 1.5 million per year compared to the President of the church collecting a cool 1.5 million per year.

I'd be cool with a coach making $3 Million if he were bringing us into the big time.

We can argue money, but I think Coach N was a bad football fit for BYU and both sides realized it. No argument about him being a good fit culturally. It wasn't money. It was just like when Lavell figured it out in time to turn down the Detroit Lions. I hardly think he would have done better than Sitake has, and he would have been like a fish out of water running something other than the option. Triple option coaches are a unique breed. Can you think of a single example of one of those over the last 30 years who even tried to run something else after they became entrenched in it, or of a triple option coach who was successful running it outside of the service academies since the 1980s?
