SALT LAKE CITY — If this were politics, it would be business as usual, a vitriolic late night Trump tweet, or a trash-talking moment on “The View.” Instead, it was a dad sticking up for his son. And a man who has plenty of reasons to appear, in contemporary jargon, unhinged.
In a Wednesday interview with "BYU Sports Nation," Merril Hoge, father of BYU player Beau Hoge, unloaded on the Cougar coaching staff, and in particular assistant coach Ed Lamb. After spring football, the younger Hoge was told he would be moved to running back.
Merril Hoge, a former ESPN personality assigned to the NFL, reacted like he had been chop blocked.
