    why are people mad at Whit for trying to hire someone away? That is pretty normal in sports. Coaches move around. BYU fans should be worried when nobody wants to hire their staff away.

      The cutest part about it is how everyone on the staff will be looking for another job after next year.

        By dumpster fire I think he means everyone getting a chance at OC along with the fact they might not be around next year if Kyle is fired.

        BYUs staff is not a lot better with regards to experience. But Anae, Tidwell, Kaufusi at least provide continuity.

        2J was a solid hire along with Holliday.

        Howell and Kpopp questionable for sure

          You aren't very kind. There is nothing cute about people losing their jobs. I can't believe how rude some of you can be.

            I don't put a lot of stock into the rumor, and here is my reasoning why.

            As a WR coach, IMO, the jury is still out on Holliday. Heading into last season, this was supposed to be one of the deepest groups of WRs ever at BYU. When Hoffman was out, the group struggled. And when Mathews went down, BYU was also not very deep. One can argue talent v production, and I'm honestly not sure what the correct answer is, which is why I say as a coach, the jury is still out.

            Where you can't argue is that Holliday is appearing to be an excellent recruiter. Taking the results on the field 100%, he is an asset to the BYU staff.

            Now, having said that, would Utah want Holliday because he is a good recruiter and it would hurt BYU? Definitely. But if I'm Whit, my focus is on bringing people in to help me win in 2014. Because in my opinion, if he doesn't win at least six games, he's gone.

              The OC situation at the U has been a dumpster fire. There is no argument against that.

                Exactly.

                Besides, there is probably nobody left at Wyoming for Whit to hire.

                  It is funny to see that Utah lives rent free in your head.

                    Wyoming is better than dipping into the JC coaching pool though.

                        It is crazy to even think that Whittingham would even be on the hot seat after all he has accomplished at Utah, but judging from the buzz around the program, maybe it's true.

                          What I don't understand is why the news about Max Hall being a candidate for the Utah QB coaching job isn't getting more attention.

                            Crazy but much like BYU fans, Ute fans have unrealistic expectations. Whit is an a-hole and a fierce competitor. He has made questionable offensive coaching hires that, if he is fired, will have cost him his job. But he is one of the best defensive coaches in college football. What is undeniable though... he has owned BYU and enjoyed every minute of it.

                              All reasons I hope he's our DC next year. That and the fact he's a Cougar.

                                Don't get me wrong, I hope they fire him after next year. Whomever they get after is not likely to be as successful, although they have been a bit down the last two years.
