SALT LAKE CITY — Receivers coach Guy Holliday did not follow former BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall to his new coaching chapter at Virginia like much of his supporting staff.
But Holliday wasn’t fired from BYU, either.
Following the postseason exodus by the former BYU coaching staff, Holliday was in a sort of limbo waiting to see how the new coaching staff would take shape. Would he be included in the new staff or would he be forced to look for a new home, simply a casualty of something out of his control?
Along came the University of Utah which had just fired its receivers coach of two seasons after generating little production in the team’s receiving game.
