They misplaced 29-7 in Lubbock after which 34-7 within the Massive 12 title sport.
It was, all in all, a terrific season for the Cougars, although, and Sitake has improved his total file to 84-45 and 6-2 in bowl video games.
He is undoubtedly among the best coaches in faculty soccer, as evidenced by the Penn State Nittany Lions’ all-out blitz to steal him away final season to interchange James Franklin. Penn State settled on Matt Campbell after getting spurned by Sitake, however now the previous BYU fullback is asking for the college to reward his loyalty with slightly bit extra funding.
It is not cash for him. And it is actually not all about cash, both. He is searching for extra funding from BYU into his soccer program. He needs the Cougars to compete within the NIL house, and that takes cash to win over gamers, nevertheless it seems like he is additionally thinking about different upgrades for this system.
“I stated earlier than, I don’t need to be the best bidder, however I’d prefer to have entry to stuff like that, and that’s a reminder to the administration you can depend on us to do issues proper and be accountable with the funds to get the proper program in place,” Sitake not too long ago stated, per Cougar Sports activities Media (h/t On3). “Typically, you form of undergo these items. You’re like, ‘OK, that is going effectively.’ And I’ve at all times simply been appreciative of all the pieces. However then, once I look again at it and my agent tells me, ‘Hey, that is the stuff that everyone else has.’ … It simply provides me a complete totally different appreciation for them.”
