Kalani probably has one chance to shake up his staff. Here's what I'd do.

Bostonblue

10/23/17 2:34pm

I'm on the Dennis Simmons for OC bandwagon. Pay him $500K.

dYrtbYkerYder

10/23/17 2:35pm

I don't think he's ever been an OC before. Seems incredibly risky.

Bostonblue

10/23/17 2:37pm

You may be right. I've advocated for your option too. The Ok State route.

dYrtbYkerYder

10/23/17 2:38pm

What could go wrong?

boscatar

10/23/17 3:44pm

Simmons has been a wide receivers coach, not an OC.

Cougtruth

10/23/17 4:28pm

I like him because he's coached in two of college football's best offenses.

dYrtbYkerYder

10/23/17 5:43pm

He's not LDS.

dYrtbYkerYder

10/23/17 5:50pm

Why does that matter for a coordinator position?

VACOUGFAN

10/23/17 6:19pm

Read the post I was responding to.

dYrtbYkerYder

10/23/17 6:39pm

Derp. Sorry. Just read the subject and assumed. My bad.

VACOUGFAN

10/23/17 6:55pm

Sorry about that. I was responding to the CB’er who wanted Simmons.

Cougtruth

10/23/17 8:36pm

i'd be on board with that. i also like the 50 ppg guy from FCS

if that's the case then just shut it down. slow death is agonizing

johnnycarson

It's been a pretty fast decline on the field.

And that's the problem, will BYU spend

seems like an easy pitch to me. We are running a yearly surplus of $5-6 mil

You don't get it. BOT couldn't care less. It isn't a top priority. If it bugs

I don't think the BOT cares so long as they aren't paying for it. We have a

Bostonblue

10/23/17 2:48pm

I agree 100%. I don't see BOT buying in. Football is not close to top priority.

PhilPete

10/23/17 2:49pm

I think you mean you "disagree" with me 100%.

Bostonblue

If athletics is supposed to reflect positively on the school

Archaeovagrant

10/23/17 3:58pm

I don't pretend to know what the BOT thinks, but the pitch seems solid

DesertBlues

10/23/17 4:07pm

You and your logic. Honestly though if byu doesn't change their thinking this

fine. but forget sark. he is waaaaaaay above us.

johnnycarson

10/23/17 2:37pm

Why fire Kaufusi?

Brigham

10/23/17 2:38pm

our LBs this year, under his watch, have been a joke. I don't think he has the

Bostonblue

10/23/17 2:40pm

Once again, he is inexperienced coaching linebackers.

Brigham

10/23/17 2:43pm

That's because he's a D-line coach, not a LB coach.

crazY

10/23/17 2:48pm

We need more disciplinarians on this staff. That's not Steve. Love the guy

Bostonblue

10/23/17 2:49pm

Well if we're looking at more disciplinarians, I have a few suggestions:

crazY

10/23/17 2:52pm

this is basically my point. Brian Kelly fired almost everyone.

Bostonblue

10/23/17 2:55pm

And my point is firing Kaufusi doesn't do anything.

crazY

10/23/17 3:08pm

I haven't been satisfied w/ our D-line play for years. Every time we played a

Bostonblue

10/23/17 3:14pm

Bronco was all in on recruiting LB's and Safeties. Not so much on OL's and DL's

icecougar

10/23/17 8:20pm

If you wanted a disciplinarian then we should have paid Bronco to stay

Fdnman

10/23/17 3:14pm

LBs a joke? I guess Fred is a joke then...

TheLoneCougar

10/23/17 2:59pm

Nope. Fred is one of the few bright spots on the team. But Butch

Bostonblue

10/23/17 3:15pm

Isn’t Butch playing with a broken hand?

Fansince67

10/23/17 6:10pm

He hurt it during the USU game. He didn't look good before that either.

Bostonblue

10/23/17 6:16pm

Knee issue all year. Playing hurt all year.

Turnpike Lane

10/23/17 6:32pm

no excuses once you strap on your helmet. everyone is playing hurt.

Bostonblue

10/23/17 6:34pm

Easy for fat butt CBers to think isn't it. In reality it affects performance.

Turnpike Lane

10/23/17 6:44pm

Yet another poor staff decision by Kalani

kahuna

10/23/17 4:26pm

Yeah, move him back

Cougar TD

10/23/17 2:40pm

Really strange angle there. LB's have been fine.

wapiti

10/23/17 2:49pm

I disagree. Warner has been good but the rest of frequently out of position.

mudpupper

10/23/17 2:54pm

Yeah bernard has been out of position all year long

viper

10/23/17 3:01pm

False. It is easily the slowest unit on the team. Perhaps even slower than the

10/23/17 5:00pm

Sounds like from other posts we should prob fire S&C coach too

demon_llama

Noted. I'll make that change.

I never said he was a great coach. If he was, he'd still be coaching. But that

Still don't see were he had a great resume for the job.

Blue2thebone

he was talking about his resume prior to his hiring as the AD.

Bostonblue

So you went 3rd person to try and help yourself? I was responding to you

Yup, blame TH for things he has no control over. That's quite a faux resume.

Cookiecoug

10/23/17 4:08pm

Why the heck has Detemer done to show he's a good QB Coach?

kahuna

10/23/17 4:22pm

14 years in the NFL acting as a de facto QB coach.

Bostonblue

10/23/17 4:37pm

He wasn't a de facto coach in my opinion

kahuna

10/23/17 5:09pm

well, he didn't stick in the league for that long because of his athletic

Bostonblue

10/23/17 6:41pm

What has he done at BYU? Has he made any QBs better?

Polecat

10/23/17 10:04pm

He developed TH into an NFL QB. At least

Bostonblue

10/23/17 10:10pm

Sort of like how Kyle Whittingham developed Norm Chow to become the head coach

Polecat

10/23/17 10:11pm

Because he knows the game
