PROVO — While the Marriott Center crowd cheered loudly for the basketball team on Saturday, the biggest cheers were reserved for the halftime show.
Surprisingly enough, not for the Jean's Golden Girls dancing group, which did perform, but for the introduction of the new football staff.
The new coaches were introduced by video, which showed highlights of those new coaches who did play for the Cougars. Those former players included new cornerbacks coach Jenaro Gilford, receivers coach Ben Cahoon and, most notably, new offensive coordinator Ty Detmer and head coach Kalani Sitake.
All coaches on staff were then introduced one by one to the crowd and were greeted with deafening roars, particularly for Detmer and Sitake.
