What is a co-offensive coordinator? Sounds like those made up callings in student wards. Of course i guess Bronco and Hill are co-defensive coordinators since Bronco calls the plays during game time.

I was just going to say that I hope no BYU fans are critical of this. At least kwhit calls it what it is. I think for continuity sake that it makes sense.

Not critical of that at all. More critical of his picks to fill out his staff. I'm surprised that nobody was brought in from outside the program at the coordinator positions. This doesn't bother any Ute fans?

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

That was the response I was looking for. At least you didn't lose Roderick to UW. I wonder if the promotion was to keep him from joining Sark.

I'm extremely critical of this move. There is no excuse for promoting from within in this situation. The Utes have sent 3 coordinators to head coaches positions in the past 5 years. It should be a very desirable coaching job and we hire 2 people within who do not have even close to the resume to be qualified for the job. Sitake wasn't qualified but at least it made sense because he could be mentored by Whittingham. No one is there to mentor these 2 unqualified candidates.

This is even worse after reading the story. Roderick as the QB coach, what a joke.

I love that your HC, OC, and DC are all BYU alum.

Utah is copying USC during the Kiffin/Sark years. KW is trying to bring SU and DDD together. Maybe KW not Obama is the Messiah.

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

I think I'll ride the Whit horse not the mpfunk horse.

Perhaps nobody wanted the job.

I'm willing to give KW the benefit of the doubt here. He's done pretty good so far.

Ouch. I wasn't going to say it.

This is not the sign of a big time program. You essentially have two graduate assistants as Co-offensive coordinators.

Yikes!

Um...hello? We got John Pease. It doesn't get much bigger time than that.
