Silly. But true. It's almost an untouchable demographic.

It's the same demographic that gave us our original angel Moroni icon. Wish BYU would be half as shrewd & practical as its founder & namesake.

Gary Andersen needs to be hired

CocaColaRecovery

11/21/17 10:36am

I agree 100% go get Gary

Blueto

11/21/17 10:39am

So who does he replace? Think ARod has the 10th spot sealed up.

soupie

11/21/17 10:39am

hopefully there are plenty of spots he can replace on the current staff

CougarCanuck76

11/21/17 10:43am

I agree but also think most will come from Offense--- or not at all.

soupie

11/21/17 10:45am

Blueto

11/21/17 11:08am

Gary can't work at BYU.

finnish_blue

11/21/17 10:40am

Can't or won't?

HingleMcCringleberry

11/21/17 10:40am

would your boss work under you?

johnnycarson

11/21/17 10:44am

No... But former boss out of a job, maybe...

HingleMcCringleberry

11/21/17 10:52am

i bet he has options. if he has p5 options he's not taking a job here.

johnnycarson

11/21/17 10:52am

Can't. Byu policy. Can't be inactive Mormon.

cougfanz

11/21/17 11:20am

True. Oddly it’s better to be a never Mormon, than to have been Mormon and gone

Polecat

11/21/17 12:26pm

Would be tough to swallow your pride to coach under coaches who were very recently under you

LiveCoug

11/21/17 10:43am

Agreed. The only option to get GA is to fire Kalani and give him head job

fulano

11/21/17 10:45am

Gary is tired of the HC gig and the stress that comes along with it. Honestly, he may be happier in

Pimpin4Paradise

11/21/17 7:02pm

I’ve actually heard he will end up with KW at Utah with the extra asst. spot

Yindistress

11/21/17 10:48am

This is much more likely. Utah always comes out on top in these situations.

Polecat

11/21/17 12:19pm

Lol @ "these situations" whatever that means.

Ocho Cuatro

11/21/17 2:02pm

When a quality player or coach who could theoretically go to BYU is available,

Polecat

11/21/17 3:10pm

Situation where a coach that "can't coach at BYU" goes to Utah..probably a first

Ocho Cuatro

11/21/17 6:53pm

GA is going to get an HC job somewhere else, easily. OSU expectations were too

grosven

11/21/17 10:49am

Not another HC washup w/out BYU experience. Rather, ROBERT ANAE.

mantis mutu

11/21/17 10:51am

Lance Anderson is the Anderson I want. His halftime adjustments this year have

thebruce

11/21/17 11:05am

I wanted this guy the first time around... he might be beyond our reach

kotacoug

11/21/17 11:09am

I agree Lance would be a good (if not great) hire in terms of FB. Quite possibly

mantis mutu

11/21/17 11:11am

I actually believe Anderson would do a far better job with the LDS side than

thebruce

11/21/17 11:26am

Could be. I do think Anae's brains & interpersonal skills are vastly underrated.

mantis mutu

11/21/17 11:28am

We already have a co head coach. Do we need another? Also, the Offense needs more help, I'd start there.

sgriff

11/21/17 11:01am

What's the saying... if you have two co HC's you have no HC... or something like

East1999

11/21/17 11:10am

I could probably agree with that. I say we get rid of everyone. He can be Co HC of the new HC.

sgriff

11/21/17 11:21am

Isn't Lamb co-HC?

gaspasscoug

11/21/17 11:15am

Yes

soupie

11/21/17 11:18am

He would not come to BYU unless as HC. Even then I'm not sure he would come.

Game Changer

11/21/17 11:18am

Byu won't hire Baptized, non active LDS. Policy

cougfanz

11/21/17 11:19am

Silly. But true. It's almost an untouchable demographic.

mantis mutu

11/21/17 11:21am

??? If you look at the mission of BYU, it's a policy that makes complete sense.

ArchbishopMitty

11/21/17 1:10pm

And that's true regardless of what you and I think of it. It's consistent with

ArchbishopMitty

11/21/17 1:11pm

Didn't say it wasn't. Said it was "generally understood," even if it wasn't code

mantis mutu

11/21/17 1:28pm

I guess to you it does. To me it's small-minded.

mantis mutu

11/21/17 1:29pm

I'm not expressing an opinion. It's simply an observation of fact - the BYU way.

ArchbishopMitty

11/21/17 8:09pm

Where is this policy you speak of?

TPcoug

11/21/17 11:22am

It's one that will never be put to code, but it's generally understood.

mantis mutu

11/21/17 11:25am

First hand experience with it. Bronco offered QB coach

cougfanz

11/21/17 11:35am

Really sad & silly if true. Doesn't surprise me at all, though.

mantis mutu

11/21/17 11:36am

Agreed

Cougstreak

11/21/17 11:41am

Yes we desperately need fired coaches Gary Anderson and Roderick.

cougarnw

11/21/17 11:24am

Weird, right? Andersen was horrible at OSU, and publicly ripped his assistants

Game Changer

11/21/17 11:34am

Except it's Andersen not Anderson

semolinaPilchard

11/21/17 11:37am

What about a 2015 mulligan? Anae HC, Darrell Bevell OC, Lance Anderson DC

boscatar

11/21/17 12:10pm

We would not get Lance Anderson to come as a DC. At Stanford, Lance already has a better position as a DC.

cwilke1

11/21/17 12:38pm

To be fair, none of what is mentioned above is realistic....not just Anderson.

Cougstreak

11/21/17 12:42pm

getting Anae as a head coach is realistic. BYU may never want him, but it seems reasonable that Anae

cwilke1

11/21/17 12:55pm

True, but the group coming together is unrealistic....

Cougstreak

11/21/17 1:22pm

Okay so now you are changing your position. Before you said none of it, now you say the total package.

cwilke1

11/21/17 1:31pm

Anae is the only one that is within the realm of reality in the mentioned role

Cougstreak

11/21/17 2:20pm

mine is not the original post. so it was not what "I" mentioned.

cwilke1

11/21/17 2:57pm

Or Darrell Bevell leaving his job as OC for an NFL team to come to BYU as OC....

Game Changer

11/21/17 12:43pm

Yes this one is by far the most comical.

Shore10

11/21/17 7:59pm

Bevell ain't leaving the Seahawks to be Anae's OC lol

cougarnw

11/21/17 2:02pm

Where does Andy Reid fit in here? Is he LB coach?

squidmark

11/21/17 4:40pm

Besides the already-explained impossibility of it, I don't think the way Gary

panguitch

11/21/17 12:17pm

He changed the culture at OSU? Uh... wut???

Thug Mormons

11/21/17 2:17pm

Read it again. He said USU

Schultz is back

My bad! Read it too fast. Thanks for catching it.

RE: Gary Andersen needs to be hired

BlueTroop

11/21/17 4:31pm

Wait, he would work for Sitake? I don't think that is even remotely possible.

Pasadena

11/21/17 6:38pm

Oh is it say stupid stuff day?

Y4LYFE

11/21/17 7:32pm

So we can have the same results as Oregon State under those guys?

canofpicante

11/21/17 7:38pm

I'd rather have Chip Kelly as OC and Dick Lebeau as DC.
