I thought it was a rule that you had to be Mormon to be a head coach, I guess not.

How soon before Diljeet Taylor jumps ship to Stanford, now that she's gotten the NCAA title?

Stanford already tried to hire her away a year ago. Diljeet told them hell no. BYU pays a lot more and supports their program much better. She likely got this title promotion to justify a pay raise to keep her away from pro groups and others who support their programs much better than Stanford.

I agree. I also think this move is laying the groundwork to offer her the director job whenever Eyestone retires. I've never believed that there was an actual hard-and-fast "rule" that coaches had to be LDS. Technically, I think most BYU job applications indicate that you need to be an active member of the church, but they make exceptions. It's more important that someone is a good fit for BYU than that they're actually a member of the church. And Diljeet Taylor is obviously a great fit for BYU track and field and cross country.

Back to this thread.
