BYU coach rules out MU
PROVO, Utah (AP)—Brigham Young University head football coach LaVell Edwards said yesterday he had withdrawn his name from consideration by the University of Missouri for its head coaching job.
Edwards, reading from a prepared statement, said, "I'm flattered that the administration at Missouri, and Athletic Director Mel Sheehan in particular, would ask me to visit the campus and discuss football.
"But I am committed to what we are doing at home, and I am happy with the way that we're going to work."
Edwards said he still had some personal goals to accomplish, which included placing in the top 10, having an undefeated season and winning a bowl game.
