  • Resumen

  • The 1955 BYU Cougars football season was a year to forget. Plagued by a dismal 1-9 record and an 0-7 showing in the Skyline Conference, the team finished dead last, leading to the end of Charles "Chick" Atkinson's tenure as head coach. But this disastrous season holds a unique historical significance for BYU, as it featured players who were forbearers of future BYU coaching legends.This episode delves into the depths of the 1955 season, exploring the factors that contributed to the Cougars' struggles. We'll examine the team's performance, the challenges they faced in the Skyline Conference, and the circumstances that led to the coaching change.Beyond the on-field woes, we'll uncover the fascinating connection to BYU's coaching lineage. The 1955 roster included:Gary Crowton's grandfather, Dave Crowton: Laying the foundation for a future BYU head coach.Robert Anae's father, Famika Anae: The patriarch of a family deeply intertwined with BYU football.Tim LaComb's uncle, Gary LaComb: Connecting this team to a future BYU basketball assistant coach.This episode explores the early careers of these players and their families, tracing the roots of the coaching tree that would later shape BYU athletics. We'll discuss how these individuals and their families contributed to the program's long-term legacy, even though the 1955 season itself was a low point in BYU's history.We'll reflect on how even the most challenging seasons can have unforeseen consequences and connections to future success. This podcast episode is a journey back in time to a season that was difficult, but also a crucial part of the program's history.Join the Locked On Cougars Insider Group by clicking here!
