However, Reids poor public relations image and extremely poor attendance at home games was the final straw for Reid. BYU assistant, Tony Ingle, was named interim coach. According to BYU athletic director. Rondo Fehlburg, Reid was offered another position in the athletic department. Reid will take the undisclosed position to finish his 20 years at the Y. Reid will then be eligible for retirement. Although Reid has a poor public image, BYU handled the firing poorly. A permanent replacement wont be named until after the season so why the rush? Fans will return for a game or two and then vanish. BYU wont play any better than they are right now until the eight freshmen learn how to play Division basketball. In another blow to the Cougar program, assistant coach Lynn Archibald has left the bench due to prostate cancer.
