the coach that it means I've settled for losing to middle of the pack MWC teams and being the third best team instate. The fire Bronco crowd seems to like to tell me what I think. In reality I just don't believe we are going to find a HC that is a step up. If Urban Meyer joins the church and humbly apologizes for treating BYU poorly and asks to be the head coach, then I'm all in. If Andy Reid throws his hat in the ring, then you've got my attention. Until then, we have as good as is available. Yes, there are unknowns who may be better, but they may also be worse.
As noted, the academics and honor code make it very hard for BYU to recruit. They limit our pool of potential 4-5 star to just a handful. Even 3 star guys who are willing to live lives compatible with all of BYU's rules are pretty limited.
