BYU's money went a lot further back then... Have you seen how much coaches make these days?

Plus, BYU's institutional features weren't as big of a deal back then...

Oh, and LaVell was one of the best ever at hiring and developing coaches.

It's too bad Brandon Doman never got same benefit

BigHouse Coug

Pretty sure he did.

Are you referring to Bronco taking over the defense?

BigHouse Coug

8/31/15 7:54pm

While I'm generally a Bronco supporter, I agree this is a major flaw of his.

Pretty sure Doman wouldn't have accepted a demotion like Howell.

Read this article. Sounds like he would have.

Malathion

The fact that article even was written shows how bad it got.

mantis mutu

8/31/15 8:28pm

Especially considering that he was offered a job with BYU

PolarisPrime

That's a good perspective.

mantis mutu

I wish he would take a page from Steve Cleveland or Tony Ingle

PolarisPrime

9/1/15 9:58am

After a time away for awhile I'd really like that. Dude meant too much to us

mantis mutu

9/1/15 11:00am

what job was he offered?

icecougar

9/1/15 3:31pm

It wasnt as a coach. But it was with the football program

PolarisPrime

9/1/15 3:51pm

sounds like what they did with Robbie Boscoe...

icecougar

9/1/15 7:02pm

That's what I assume.

PolarisPrime

9/1/15 7:05pm

absolutely agree with that

icecougar

9/2/15 11:52am

That said, had Anae not come back, I can't say that Doman's claim

mantis mutu

8/31/15 8:34pm

That doesn't mean he isn't taking veiled shots at Bronco though

Superman21

9/1/15 8:40am

You know, I haven't listened to him lately. Sounds like he's changed then.

mantis mutu

Schadenfreude is basic human nature...even for good people.

BarraCouga

I sure hope so.

Doman was hoping for the QBC job and would've taken it but with Anae coming back

I'm a hack. Well stated.

BarraCouga

8/31/15 7:58pm

It may have been for Doman, but he could have stayed as DC in the case of Howell

cougaman

8/31/15 8:00pm

Lavell didn't seem to have any issues... Maybe BYU had more money back then lol

kotacoug

8/31/15 8:06pm

Different era. Coaching salaries are very different today than they were then.

dilbert

8/31/15 8:09pm

and there were also fewer jobs to be had back then

As the world gets richer and more expensive, BYU sticks to being cheapstakes

southernfriedcougar

8/31/15 10:47pm

That's why you interview...

icecougar

8/31/15 8:43pm

$ and honor code.

BarraCouga

8/31/15 7:57pm

Dolan is a good man. I thought he would develop into the next BYU head coach.

PortlandBlue

8/31/15 8:02pm

sorry to bring that up I'm really hyped and pumped for this season and

BigHouse Coug

8/31/15 8:11pm

Doman had a much smaller margin of error due to the staff, and he got 2 years.

Shimmy

8/31/15 8:02pm

It wasnt just a failed try out. Some of his interpersonal actions got him fired.

mantis mutu

8/31/15 8:05pm

I really think the Hill injury during garbage time sealed his fate.

BarraCouga

8/31/15 8:06pm

It sealed his fate in that it robbed him the chance of having Taysom grow

Shimmy

8/31/15 8:07pm

That as well...both barrels into his own foot.

BarraCouga

8/31/15 8:09pm

As much of a blunder as that was, I still think it came down to how Doman

mantis mutu

8/31/15 8:13pm

Very true.

BarraCouga

8/31/15 8:16pm

the bad taste in the mouth of the program after the Riley Nelson debacle sped up

icecougar

8/31/15 8:45pm

Doman got two seasons. Howell got 2/3 before he lost play calling duties.

SpiffCoug

8/31/15 8:17pm

Bronco loves his "yesmen". as for Doman he didn't get demoted to QBC because...

icecougar

8/31/15 8:38pm

Two wrongs wouldn't make a right

Jomo

8/31/15 8:44pm

Doman was in a bit of a different situation than Howell

mudpupper

Ja Beck was a VERY qualified hire for a QB coach, too. His credentials not only

mantis mutu

8/31/15 9:06pm

and he's showing that he can work with and improve a QB's performance

icecougar

Whitt has done the same thing yet CB seems to give him a pass.

WaybackCougar

8/31/15 10:09pm

Whitt will *never* get a pass on CB

Jomo

8/31/15 10:20pm

Isn't the conventional wisdom here that Whitt is a better coach?

WaybackCougar

8/31/15 10:22pm

There is no conventional wisdom on CB

Jomo

8/31/15 10:34pm

At juggling apples versus Bronco's orange chainsaws...probably.

mantis mutu

9/1/15 12:01pm

The meme by about 30 posters on CB posits this idea.

PolarisPrime

9/1/15 12:20pm

Why is that too bad?

wapiti

8/31/15 10:20pm

Using Howell isn't a good example to suggest Doman get some

southernfriedcougar

8/31/15 10:54pm

Um, you're also describing Coach Rose to a "T"
