Jaime Hill potentially to Portland State as HC?

[cougjunkie]

Please let this be true:

Tuesday, the Oregonian newspaper reported that BYU defensive coordinator Jaime Hill might be a candidate to replace Jerry Glanville at Portland State. The colorful Glanville abruptly resigned after just two years at PSU.
Hill was PSU’s defensive coordinator from 1993-96.
I asked coach Bronco Mendenhall about seeing his top assistants’ names show up in various places as head coaching candidates.
“I would encourage them all to, when they are ready, and if they have any other aspirations, I will help them any way that I can. My goal is to help coaches and players. If they choose to stay here, I would love it. But they should be mentioned. They are very good coaches,” he said.

Please let this be true:

Could I finally reveal myself as the 2nd egg thrower, the one on the grassy knoll, if he took the job?

BYU defenses are typically bad.

If Hill does leave, the next guy most likely won't be able to do much better.

So who would be the replacement and what would be the added value?


P.S. A response of "anyone would be an improvement over Hill" would be an example of EPIC FAIL.

Hill vs McBride match-ups. The MWC is taking over the college football world.

I bet Hill will have better CBs at PSU than he does in Provo.

Nobody would be an improvement over Hill. As in not having a defensive coordinator.

Wouldn't Bronco likely just take back his job? Are we any more confident in him as DC, particularly given the advantages he has stated in being able to be a head coach during games instead of a DC? I'm not a Hill fan, but I don't know if his loss will be a benefit unless Bronco can bring in someone better.

yeah right

is a HC position at PSU better than a DC job at BYU?

Nobody on the current staff. BYU is a big enough name to go out and get a good up and comer defensive coach. He doesn't need to be LDS.

I'm not convinced that the team as constituted will have a great defense in the near future, regardless of who is coaching.

The pieces just aren't there.

Yes, if your intention is to eventually get a higher profile head coaching gig. Otherwise, he would need to get a higher profile DC gig.

[Indy Coug]

Since Hill isn't LDS, that obviously is true.

You are correct that all the pieces aren't there. I am a firm believer that there are many that would do better with this D. There are some pieces there. They just aren't being used correctly.

I think that 2010's D will be even worse than this year. 2011 is when things will get better.

[CougarBoard Fanatic] Bronco should hire Andy Reid to be defensive coordinator! [/CougarBoard Fanatic]
