Fire Ty

If there is ever going to be a non-LDS HC at BYU, then the Ed Lamb credentials are as good as it gets.

Is Ed Lamb a good coach?

[Green Monstah]

That isn't the only restriction, if he isn't LDS he must abide by the honor code. So that eliminates every coach that isn't married (with the possible exception of an asexual coach), every coach that likes coffee, and every coach that enjoys a delicious craft beer.

I thought there was a “privacy of your own home” exception.

Is Ed Lamb a good coach?

A very good question. He's has more experience as a head coach, albeit at a smaller school, than anyone on BYU's staff right now. He has more experience as a college coach overall than anyone on BYU's staff right now except Kaufusi.

Not counting this year, counting GA experience but not counting "director of player development" or "director of football operations" positions:

Coach	HC Experience	Coordinator Experience	Other Experience
Kalani Sitake	1	6	7
Ilaisa Tuiaki	0	1	8 + 2 in high school
Ty Detmer	0	1	4 in high school
Ed Lamb	7 + 1 year as assistant HC	3	4
Ben Cahoon	0	0	2
Steve Clark	0	7	3 + 3 in high school
Mike Empey	1	8	2 in High School
Jernaro Gilford	0	0	4
Steve Kaufusi	0	0	22
Reno Mahe	0	0	1

But whether he is a "good coach" in the pantheon of coaches is a question that's essentially unanswerable at this point.

Not officially. As a practical matter? Perhaps.

Thanks. From this list, I think it is fair to conclude that he is the most experienced of an extremely inexperienced group of coaches. I'm not a byu fan, but if I were () I would hope that "he has coached before" would be a necessary but not sufficient requirement for the head coach.

But the list doesn't account for the years Ty spent as a de facto QB coach in the NFL, where he taught Brett Favre what a nickel defense is.

Just for fun, I also added up the numbers for the staff at Virginia and Utah:

Coach	HC Experience	Coordinator Experience	Other Experience

Kelly Poppinga	0	0	8
Shane Hunter	0	0	6
Vic So'oto	0	0	1

Coach	HC Experience	Coordinator Experience	Other Experience
Kyle Wittingham	12	13	7
Morgan Scalley	0	1	9
Troy Taylor	0	1	3+14 in high school

As a practical matter, I think there pretty much is for all of us.

[falafel]

There isn't.

Maybe not printed on the brochure, but I doubt they are doing a search of your cabinets to look for Folgers.

This is funny coming from you, but I was prepared to be pissed off if it was posted by funk.

Only if your spouse isnt a member.

I have a buddy who was a non-LDS BYU prof. His dept chair told him he didn't care if he consumed beer/coffee at home as long as he kept everything on the down low.

See! BYU is very progressive!
