Could Stanford director of defense Lance Anderson leave for BYU?

Lance Anderson is rumored to be a top candidate for the BYU head coaching position. Will he be interested in the job?

Last Friday, BYU head coach surprised the college football world when he announced that he was leaving Provo, Utah to become the head man at the University of Virginia.

The abrupt head coaching vacancy at BYU has led to serious speculation about Stanford's director of defense Lance Anderson filling the position.

BYU is a unique football program with specific requirements for their head coach in all of their sports. The head coach at BYU must be an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, better known as the Mormon church.
