I'm actually warming up to the idea of Kelly Poppinga as DC... Am I crazy?

Cougar TD

You’re just as sane as I am.

DieHarder

12/1/22 8:53pm

That's your opinion

TNT

Position coach. We're in the Big12 now. No messing around with low-level hires.

SinkingQuffa

12/1/22 8:54pm

Does he currently have a job? Hope we can get him as a LB coach if not DC

cougaman

12/1/22 8:55pm

Lb coach at boise

Cougz19

12/1/22 9:10pm

So we could probably bring him here to coach the LB if the new DC wanted to.

cougaman

12/1/22 9:13pm

Sure hope so. I’m not advocating he be the new DC but I would love to have him

Cougz19

12/1/22 9:15pm

That may not be completely in BYU's control. It's not as attractive of a positin

TNT

12/1/22 9:10pm

I doubt he's a must-have as a coach.

SinkingQuffa

12/1/22 9:14pm

Right. But just that BYU has less of a shot at a lot of guys

TNT

12/1/22 9:18pm

I sure hope we look more outside our LDS base. For at least 50% of the staff.

SinkingQuffa

12/1/22 9:31pm

Absolutely

TNT

12/1/22 9:32pm

And not these Kalani guys in need of a job.

SinkingQuffa

12/1/22 9:37pm

Love to have him on staff. Want nothing to do with first-time coordinators

cajuncoug

12/1/22 9:40pm

He was already a coordinator at UVA

CaliWG

12/2/22 7:32am

It was Howell there just as here.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 7:45am

Look at his title

CaliWG

12/2/22 9:10am

I stand corrected. We'd be more impressed with him if he were Vandy's DC

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 9:20am

Not sure. UVA coaches were kinda blindsided by Bronco & left scrambling.

CaliWG

12/2/22 9:39am

I've been kinda shocked at how well they've done for themselves.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 10:19am

CB's general criticism of Anae was always unwarranted. He is a great OC.

CaliWG

12/2/22 10:32am

I wanted him as a HC. Granted, he'd have his cons

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 10:43am

He had the title, but Howell ran the show. UVA wanted to force Bronco to fire Howell and Bronco refused and retired.

molodyets

12/2/22 9:40am

UVA's issues with Bronco's staff went way beyond Howell.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 10:01am

It wasn't the only issue, but that was the change the admin was telling him he had to make.

molodyets

12/2/22 10:22am

Is this CB FO news?

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 10:30am

Bronco had far more success at UVA than anyone since Welsh

CaliWG

12/2/22 11:02am

This is certainly true, but Bronco really needs to learn diplomacy, too.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 11:06am

It depends on his goals

CaliWG

12/2/22 11:24am

I guess I should say, I WISH he'd learn some diplomacy.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 11:30am

“Co-coordinator”

cajuncoug

12/2/22 12:11pm

Not laterally. BYU position coach would be a major upgrade over Boise.

CharlottesvilleCoug

12/2/22 9:55am

But the position hire itself would be a lateral one. My context is clear.

SinkingQuffa

12/2/22 12:16pm

Nobody knows how any of the names floating around on the lists will do. It’s a crapshoot and anybody who is justifiably

molodyets

12/1/22 8:55pm

I like him because he is a no nonsense guy and bronco disciple. He will demand

kansascougar

12/1/22 8:56pm

Offer him a LB coaching position if we decide to go with someone else.

runningryan

12/1/22 9:32pm

Well, Virginia made some interesting adjustments on D in the 2nd half vs BYU…

icecougar

12/1/22 10:51pm

Nick Howell for the win

kansascougar

12/2/22 6:47am

Pass.

byubyu

12/1/22 8:58pm

Why?

TempeCoug

12/1/22 9:02pm

Because he was Bronco’s second choice behind Nick Howell.

Social Distance

12/1/22 9:05pm

That means very little. A decision made in the past…

Refugee

12/1/22 9:45pm

Maybe. But Bronco chose Nick Howell over K-Pop twice.

Social Distance

12/1/22 10:09pm

Maybe Bronco knew that KP wasn’t the best fit in BM’s systems…

Refugee

12/2/22 10:56am

Unproven

Deleted

12/1/22 9:05pm

Because he's never been a coordinator before and hadn't been overly impressive

byubyu

12/1/22 9:07pm

Would love to get Nua on board as well in some capacity -

Julius Pepperwood

12/1/22 8:58pm

Love to get Nua as DC and Poppinga as LB coach

runningryan

12/1/22 9:33pm

Someone pointed out to me that those two have different different philosophies so that probably doesn’t work chemistry

runningryan

12/1/22 10:21pm

This is the staff

wildlandfireguy

12/1/22 9:51pm

Lol Odum isn’t coming to be a position coach without being the DC

molodyets

12/1/22 9:53pm

It’s hope it’s happening.

wildlandfireguy

12/1/22 9:56pm

Swap out Nua with Odum and I agree. Odum is proven and has an aggressive defense

The_Cuss

12/1/22 11:37pm

Almost all of Jay Hill's career is coaching offense.

Emmett Fitz-Hume

12/2/22 12:06am

He’s coached the defense his entire time at Weber and his years at Utah were split 4:5 in favor of the offense

molodyets

12/2/22 3:40am

That’s just not true! He’s had experience with the defense.

U2wearblue

12/2/22 8:54am

BYU needs someone who has held the position before, IMO, and that’s why Odum

Desertcoug85

12/1/22 9:57pm

Kelly is an excellent coach and should be considered

Cougrrrs Roll

12/1/22 10:06pm

Be a great Linebacker coach

Tuskaloosa Cougar

12/1/22 10:07pm

No former players

Backcountry

12/1/22 10:29pm

If ehhhhhh-verybody else says no then maybe

icecougar

12/1/22 10:46pm

I like KPop, but if he's that good, did anybody make a run at him at UVA? Also,
