Help Wanted: Who replaces Bronco?

[All-American]

I think it is going to be Kalani.

If I had to choose between Kalani and Anae, I think I'd choose Anae.

I think some wondered how long it would take for one of these videos to be made in the context of the Vegas bowl. Here it is regarding Bronco leaving.

That looks real to me.

I mean, if you get a group of Utah fans together. Like this one. They'll have about 6 teeth between them. Just like these guys!

Crazy talk.

Sitake would be a vastly superior recruiter. Good recruiting covers a multitude of sins.

That is way for Darrin Bevel to not have to say he is not interested in being interviewed for the BYU job.

I'm pretty sure that is the case. It allows BYU to save face. Don't head coaches freely grant permission to their assistants to interview elsewhere as long as it's moving up the ladder (coordinator to head coach)?

Also, I believe Holmoe coached under Carroll for a year or two at San Francisco, so there is a relationship there.

You don't think he referred to him as Tommy as a put down, then?

George Welsh left Navy for Virginia and was very successful. Welsh was not an option coach.

But Ken N. is an option coach. It's all he's done. I've never personally seen an option coach change his stripes. There must be strangely something addictive about that style of football to those who coach it. Gary Crowton got hooked in 2001 and couldn't put the crack pipe down after that. He was trying to run option plays with Matt Berry, which makes no sense to any rational person.

What does "not available mean"? Is this a situation where BYU wanted him to come to BYU immediately and Seattle said, no way? How could they dictate whether he is "available" or not?

He doesn't want to hurt his current team. If the season were over he might take a serious look at making the switch. That is one way to interpret that anyway. Don't burn bridges if he also wants to keep open the option of a HC job in the NFL someday.

uh wat? How could Anae possibly be the choice for HC?

1. Look at his resume. Assistant coach to Mike Leach, an undisputed offensive mastermind, and Rich Rodriguez, a disputed offensive mastermind, at two P5 schools.
2. He has done a stellar job at BYU. Seriously. Stellar. If there were any doubt on this point, just consider where we were in 2004 and from 2011-12.
3. Continuity. We are losing our head coach, our de iure defensive coordinator, and our de facto defensive coordinator. There's merit enough on its own to want to avoid a clean sweep, especially at a place like BYU, which is run very differently from any other program.
4. The knocks on Anae are largely exaggerated. Stubborn ol' Dr. Bob is a lot more flexible than people give him credit for-- see the changes to the offensive scheme within 2005 alone, as well as the relative absence of the term "go fast go hard" this season.

My biggest reservation about Anae are the reports that players don't like him as much. I wouldn't know one way or another, of course-- and on BYUSN this week, Brian Logan (a defensive player, yes) said he liked Anae a lot. So whether that perception is accurate, I really couldn't say. I think a lot of the fan base's negativity toward him is a factor of him being BYU's offensive coordinator, the job description of which requires that he be the least popular person on the coaching staff.

I can live with Anae, Sitake, or Anderson.
