It was innovative initially, but within just a few years it wasn't all that novel anymore.

It still worked for a long time after that (and still works today in various forms), because it was based on a sustainable formula and philosophy.

BYU plays a G5 schedule. Barely more difficult than a MWC schedule.

That is a well reasoned post. I like it. I also somewhat agree.

He'd be very hard to replace, and here's why:

Some of Anae's offenses have been really good.

But much more difficult to do so IF you fire him, UNLESS you fire Holmoe too.

I don't remember the candidates available at the time, but was Reid available?

Was Andy Reid ever a real option at that time?
