I heard Lavell himself say that he hand picked Crowton for the job. Of course Reid was unavailable but to say that Lavell didn't endorse Crowton is revisionist history.

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:

You may be right. After all Boise has done it recently.

The "innovation" aspect of the old BYU offense is a bit overstated.

So why is it so hard for the school that pioneered it to find an OC that

Some of Anae's offenses have been really good.

Yep, I could live with the old Anae. Just remember one thing about Bronco:

I would venture to say it is very overstated.

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?

He was already HC in Philly

Was Andy Reid ever a real option at that time?

That's true - Lavell did not throw anyone under the bus

PolarisPrime

10/23/14 4:36pm
