Lavell Edwards days. McMahon was protected.

Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Lavell Edwards.
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.
He's got a 62,000 seat stadium named after him.
Win another Natty, and he'll probably get a couple chapters added to the 'Book of Mormon, 2.0.,' in his honor.
One look at McMahon and I don't doubt he was protected.

Here's some golden quotes from Lavell:

Since he's dead, that isn't likely to happen, but why not have another excuse to add more contradiction to the Bible by finding more gold tablets, probably inside the stadium. There is no way McMahon didn't fracture many of the honor code rules and with his ego he wouldn't have done it in a way your "Holy Ghost" didn't know about it.

You used to send his girlfriend to SLC to buy beer and Copenhagen. McMahon is like Charles Barkley to me. Fun loving good guy.

Probably buried at mid-field, next to Jimmy Hoffa's body. If there are gold tablets to be found, they are probably in a safety deposit box in SLC. I'm agnostic, at best. Never even considered religion as a factor in anything.
Lavell did great for BYU.
Coaches are hired to do ONE THING: WIN! Lavell did just that.
At least, that's what they used to be judged on. Now, they've got to produce not only winners, but statesmen, scholars, Pulitzer Prize winners, and be loved by everyone. I like his Quote #10, mentioned in my Post #45: "
10. On Navy coach George Welsh’s statement about having smart players:

“George, when it comes to football, I’d rather have ‘em big, fast and dumb.” (via BYUCougars.com)

The likes of Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, Howard Schnellenberger, 'Bear' Bryant, Barry Switzer, Urban Meyer, Joe Peterno, Tom Osborne, and a lot more, would never have made it in todays environment.

You were the one who brought up the religion in the first place.
Aside from that, without drifting too far off topic, hitting opposing players on the side lines wasn't acceptable at any time by a head coach and almost all of the guys on your list had some kind of issue that put them out of the college ranks before they were ready to step aside.
I would like to see if Bear could coach today, but we will never know, but he went until almost right up to the day he died.
Meyer proved he couldn't coach in this today's environment because he had higher personal priorities than his team.
Yes, there is accountability for mentoring responsible young men! That's the way it should have always been, not a lack of control where your team is better armed than the US Army and their shooting up the dorm.
We know what happened to Hoffa too, btw.

Almost a certainty the Griz aren’t going to bother with this kid. If a kid has ANY questions surrounding them about illegal sexual behavior, I’m fairly confident they wouldn’t even be considered as a potential target.

With Missoula’s braided arm pit mentality along with the way Engstrom handled the Jordy Johnson debacle, no way Montana touches this kid…even with a sterilized ten foot pole, even if the kid is totally innocent of any wrong doing and a stellar student.
Montana’s administration had their balls cut off by the granola crowd and Krakauer a long time ago…They ‘ll take a pass…

He’s probably therefore more of an East slope MSU-DUI material kind of guy..no matter how good of a kid he may be unfortunately…

At KSL.com:

PROVO — Jake Retzlaff has broken his silence.

The rising fifth-year senior quarterback at BYU filed a response Friday to a civil lawsuit by a Salt Lake woman who accused Retzlaff of sexual assault last month in Utah's 3rd District Court.

In the response, Retzlaff, through his attorney, requested that "the complaint be dismissed, that the plaintiff AG take nothing, and that Mr. Retzlaff is fully reimbursed for his fees and costs incurred to defend against this meritless case," according to the 14-page filing obtained by KSL.

Retzlaff "denies each and every allegation contained" in the original complaint, including that he "bit, raped or strangled (the accuser)" after she drove from a residence near the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City to his apartment in Provo.

"Instead, Mr. Retzlaff and (the accuser) had a pleasant and entirely consensual evening together," the response read, "playing video games, and a normal evening of consensual sexual interaction that was uneventful but pleasant, with the plaintiff sleeping over and leaving the next morning to return to Salt Lake City."

A spokesperson for BYU athletics referred all questions back to the university's initial statement at the time of the lawsuit.

Retzlaff also noted in the response that the plaintiff reached out to him via social media and/or text messaging "to initiate interaction between herself and Mr. Retzlaff on or about October 2023." A month later, he alleged that the two engaged in a "consensual sleepover," which later led to "very comfortable texting" and "flirty text exchanges with each other about the BYU/Utah football rivalry."

Those text conversations included no mentions of their previous encounter being unpleasant, according to Retzlaff.

The response also notes that the encounter occurred when Retzlaff "was not publicly identified as an NFL draft prospect" following BYU's 5-7 season in 2023. It was filed in May, when "the plaintiff AG hired a Salt Lake City lawyer and made her first ever claim of rape linked to a large monetary demand from Mr. Retzlaff" following the Cougars' 11-2 season in 2024.

Retzlaff alleged that the plaintiff and he had no contact — "not even by text" — during the 2024 season.

Among a list of "other defenses" in the response, Retzlaff alleged that the accuser "had sex with one or more Utah football players," and then reported to Provo police "four or five days later" that "she was assaulted by a 'childhood' friend from Salt Lake City."

The response filing claimed the lawsuit against Retzlaff indicated an attempt to "extort money from him and that whichever Utah football player was a childhood friend of hers, who she did identify to the police as her assailant, must either be a benchwarmer, or even if a starter for Utah, is not a viable target for payment, and is not an NFL draft prospect."

Based only on this, I support the guy.
