K-whit in Ann Arbor?

Apparently he was at his regular team meetings yesterday so that'd be quite the feat. I don't know what the motivation would be to have a candidate come to Michigan anyway.

It looks like current Pittsburgh coach, Paul Chryst, will become the next Badger coach. Looks like a good fit.

Wow. That seems to be a very quick hire assuming the Oregon State move was remotely unexpected.

It must not only be fan bases but AD's who think about who the next head coach will be no matter how the current coach is doing.

Agreed.

Is there any possibility they considered firing Andersen after the 59-0 embarrassment? Perhaps he caught wind of it, or they talked to him and that's one reason he bolted for Corvallis?

Certainly doesn't seem likely, but the entire thing is bizarre.

Chryst was the guy who was also in down-to-the-wire consideration with Anderson 2 (3?) years ago. Boosters and fans were split pretty evenly down the line as to which they preferred. I think that explains the quick move.

I have a friend who is a big-time Wisconsin fan. He felt like Chryst would've been the guy the last time around, but that he had just barely taken the Pitt job and felt a little bit of an obligation. He was fine with Gary at the time, but this move is not surprising at all.

Interesting. That makes sense.

Reading this article from a couple of months ago, Ken Niumatalolo is as close to the ideal BYU coach as you can get... minus the whole triple option thing. I wonder if he would get consideration when Bronco leaves.

I would hope he would at least get some consideration. There aren't many options out there. I don't know too much about his tenure at Navy, but I agree that he would be a great fit for BYU. Absent a miracle option like Andy Reed (and I'm not convinced that he would have as much success as people think), or the conversion of Nick Saban to Mormonism, I think Niumatalolo will be BYU's next head coach if he wants it. Given the fact that his son is on BYU's team, I would think he would be interested.

I think a triple-option philosophy could be a good fit for the byu - a school that doesn't always get the best athletes but overall has quick, smart, disciplined kids. Sure, it would get blowed-up on occasion, but the bulk of the byu's opponents would be toast. A well executed option attack is a thing of beauty.

At its essence, a lot of this spread stuff is just option concepts where you move the ball laterally, create defensive dilemmas, and try to use the offense's main advantage (knowing where the play is going & when the play is starting) to its fullest potential.

Taysom Hill could've been one hell of an option QB. It's not like he is known for gutting teams with his pocket-passing.
EDIT: imagine Lasike at FB to boot.

This one always cracks me up. Why do people think that BYU players are disciplined? We are often one of the most penalized teams in the nation, this year being no exception.

The triple option would be such an extreme culture change for the BYU fan base, the bitching and moaning you see today would be mild in comparison.
