Just because you may not agree doesn't mean it isn't true. Do we have the BEST position coaches? Obviously not. Does saying there are better ones out there if we paid more money mean he is bandwagon fan? Of course not.

when you're in a conference, you have all sorts of commitments as to where to spend the money.

I just don't understand why we don't open the wallet more. We've got the money.

We pay our position coaches way too low for the type of football we want

In 2015, BYU assistant coach average salary (all sports)was $107,000.

And it seems like their players are coached more than 66% better than ours

Are you saying that if we pay our current coaches more that they'd be better?

We'd attract better coaching talent if we paid better.

Yep. Probably would have kept Holliday, for example, or attracted someone better

I'm still solidly behind this coaching staff no matter what they're paid.

has BYU ever had a non-lds head coach for any sport? Even just an interim HC?

He needs to be lds. The 9 assistants dont.
