The Kevin Young hire is equivalent to luring away the top NFL coordinator to coach at BYU. Imagine BYU football landing the highest paid NFL OC who was widely viewed in NFL circles as a soon to be head coach. It really is such a coup.

He had to muddy the waters because no one thinks he’s the top NBA assistant

Like Gary Crowton. 🙂 I am captiously optimistic that this will turn out better

Was Crowton the highest paid OC in the NFL at the time? And thought to soon be an NFL HC?

mjmill

No. But he was well thought of in NFL circles.

Very similar comparison as Crowton was considered an offensive guru

The BYU magazine had articles about him having an "extra chip in his head"

Crowton spent two years in the NFL, so not the same

Sorry, Gary was not considered a top NFL guy. Also, he was the HC at a minor g5

I will second that notion. Gary was in the NFL two years with the Bears as OC

What was the saying - he had an extra computer chip in his mind? But 70 pts in

So, like hiring Joe Judge or Ben Johnson as football head coach.

None of it will matter unless we put a large NIL war chest behind him.

Big NIL will attract the raw talent out there but maybe you don't want that.
