OC because of his playing career is nuts. I would love to take the risk and

think it would pay off but his NFL tenure or place among BYU QB greats are not why he would be worth the risk. I think he will be great, but not for this reason.

By this logic Gretzky would have been an amazing coach, but the "great one" was a bad hockey coach. Great Player /= Great Coach.

The idea that a 14-year NFL QB isn't qualified to be a D-1 OC is nuts.

12/18/15 7:14am

Why?

srey

12/18/15 7:15am

Especially when stated by those who complain that he's only a HS head coach

Why? I can't think of one successful OC who was a 14 yr NFL QB.

How about a 14-yr NFL QB who spent 2 yrs as an NFL QB coach before being HC?

12/18/15 7:26am

We could go with Elder Gifford Nielsen

Some are, some aren't. Gretzky coached a bad org. but won a gold medal as coach

12/18/15 7:38am

I do not subscribe to the theory that Detmer would succeed as an OC without

srey

12/18/15 7:40am

No.... No it's really not

Hoax

12/18/15 7:37am

I'll side Lavell on this one.

12/18/15 7:39am

Link?

srey

12/18/15 7:41am

Heard Lavell say it on 1280 last week.

12/18/15 8:00am

Say what? That BYU would be nuts not to hire Detmer as the OC?

srey

12/18/15 8:01am

Ty would be a fantastic OC for BYU. Not ready for HC, but would be a great OC.

12/18/15 10:55am

I'll have to look that up. Sounds incorrect.

srey

12/18/15 11:03am

Playing and coaching are completely different skills

Still not convinced. He's a great candidate for a QB coaching position with us.

srey

12/18/15 7:55am

I'd take the risk at OC based on his body of work. That's all I'm saying

Saxa

12/18/15 7:56am

His body of work does not include any experience in college coaching.

srey

12/18/15 7:59am

I would liken it more with taking a successful president of a small business

Saxa

12/18/15 8:10am

I can agree with that. I think Ty could be great, but I am also risk averse.

srey

12/18/15 8:13am

Absolutely understand

Saxa

12/18/15 9:57am

QB coach for Ty is totally insulting.

12/18/15 8:01am

Why?

srey

12/18/15 8:02am

He's more overqualified to be QB coach than Mitt is to be President of the USA.

12/18/15 8:06am

He's overqualified for a position that is 3 steps above the highest coaching job

srey

12/18/15 8:08am

He's way overqualified to be a BYU QB coach. NFL QB coach, fine.

12/18/15 8:29am

In what ways? Please don't take this as a criticism. It is more of a critique.

srey

12/18/15 8:36am

I'm sure you know my arguments and just reach a different conclusion

12/18/15 10:25am

How many 22 year old qb coaches are there? Very very few.

srey

12/18/15 10:34am

Well they don't stay 22 for more than a year but many start very young (24, 25)

12/18/15 10:54am

Slow clap. You got me...

srey

12/18/15 10:57am

Your posts on this topic remind me of some of these.

srey

12/18/15 11:02am

To be clear, he may be a terrible OC. Who knows?

12/18/15 11:30am

Yes, you provided all the detail I should have included

12/18/15 8:02am

I agree

Helm Hammerhand

12/18/15 7:52am

Wrong. That is a good start, but a lot more is required. My guess is Ty is

Y'zFan

12/18/15 8:10am

IMO, being a 14-year NFL QB doesn't necessarily qualify one to be a D1 OC

CopperLix

12/18/15 8:10am

But can he transfer that knowledge to 18-24 year old kids at every position?

srey

12/18/15 8:16am

Let's find out

Helm Hammerhand

12/18/15 8:19am

It's an intriguing proposition, but if we are hiring Sitake I think that hiring

srey

12/18/15 8:25am

I would feel more comfortable starting him as qb coach, but I still believe he

Helm Hammerhand

12/18/15 8:47am

Equating playing experience to coaching experience is what is really nuts.

shimmy

12/18/15 8:20am

Yea, but how much experience has he had on CougarBoard where true expertise is

coaching is different than playing. how many of the "greats" are even successful coaches?
