BYU athletics awash in P5 money would make an interesting case study

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.

Everyman

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?

ManicBlue

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

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

Likely Sitake could have kept Holliday if he'd wanted to.

And you're positive money is the only deterrent in this case?

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?
