What we are really saying is our coaches need to be replaced and high salaries are all byu has to offer to draw away proven commodities.

The other thought is what if byu was a stepping stone to the NFL? To do that you would have to be doing something the NFL wants. What is the next phase in the NFL? In the 80’s it was the pass. What will it be in the 20’s my guess is it will be a hybrid spread option. But in the arms race of cfb coaching you need to be different if you want to produce. I think you still pay decent but stop the madness for retreded ex athletes coaches need to be cerebral, creative not ex players unless they are also critical thinkers too. Then look forward and create.
