The hiring process from the 1970s is a great idea. Everything is different today. We aren't going to unearth the next LaVell.

Would BYU even be able to get Navy's coach when Mendenhall is done?

Bronco was also a long time 3-3-5 disciple and he has since gone to the 3-4.

No kidding. I don't know why this is so hard for people to comprehend. LaVell

BYU was hardly even a D1 school back then.

If you are okay with an unproven coach, the possibilities are endless

I didn't say an unproven coach. If you want to limit to proven LDS, head coaches

I think you know I meant HEAD coach. All of what you say sounds nice.

LaVell was replacing a bad coach. Whoever replaces Bronco won't be.

And LaVell was a great head coach. What was he before BYU hired him? You want

LOL, who said anything about replicating the process from the 70's?!

I thought you said it. Why else bring up LaVell? Isn't that the purpose of your

Do you consider Ken. Niumatalolo to have a "decent" resume? When compared to the

He has a great resume for Georgia Tech. Not for the BYU job in my opinion.

Pasadena

So you are saying it's just his system that's winning

Might want to do some fact checking on LaVell's predecessor.

There is a chance you'll draw to an inside straight too...But it's a fools bet.

You keep bringing up the Nebraska curse - you do realize that Solich was fired because of his substance abuse issues

foofcoug

11/27/15 1:05pm

The point is the macro...not the micros. The odds are bad even for CFB royalty.

BarraCouga

11/27/15 1:12pm

So what's the "curse"? To me that seems you are indicating that the school did something wrong in the dismissal

11/27/15 1:16pm

You're tripping over a mouse turd and I've only used the term "Nebraska curse"..

BarraCouga

You're the one who drop the giant turd out there. You were trying to equate the two situations when they

Ok. Pretend I didn't use that term. It's irrelevant to the point.

Bad things could happen. Great things could happen. Fabricating cautionary fairy tales and boogie monsters

Math isn't fabricating. It's math. The odds are bad. It's just math.

And if Bronco gets a DUI or goes psycho like Pellini then we should fire him.

More than just Nebraska have struggled to find good a replacement coach

Exactly. It might work and it might not.

He seems pretty comfortable at Navy

I respectfully disagree. People get bored and want to take on new challenges
