But I'm not sure I agree with your statement, anyway. I'm not convinced a position coach at an elite program would be willing to come be the OC for BYU. I doubt we'd be a pay increase.

A new OC doesn't need to be LDS, thank goodness..

Honor Code still applies, but hopefully there's some "don't ask don't tell"

Would be nice, lack of "don't ask, don't tell" is the reason BYU doesn't have

Basically if I recall correctly the new Colonel didn't want to give up coffee

Kajdin

Yeah, I had to look it up and that's exactly right

But can he live the honor code?

How are we going to get a non-LDS (or at least non-BYU alum) to come be OC?

Coop

9/13/17 1:42pm

If we are hiring someone who is not currently an OC or HC, it would be a

So we would get someone we shouldn't plan on keeping

Coop

What? I didn't know we wanted to hire OCs for life.

Coop

We want coaches who are successful enough that other teams come knocking.

But not those who are going to jump at the first opportunity

Coop

How did we get Holliday? or Tuiaki?

BeYoU

9/13/17 1:49pm

Tuiaki is LDS - I meant a non-LDS guy who isn't a BYU alum

Coop

It's a promotion for a G5 school like Troy, Memphis, or Western Michigan

my thoughts exactly.

Um-- we already have an OC.

thaws

9/13/17 1:43pm

I mean to clarify... A good OC.

BeYoU

9/13/17 1:48pm

Ain't gonna bail on Detmer quite yet--

thaws

9/13/17 1:51pm

If I don't see our offense play well against good teams, I'm bailing..

BeYoU

9/13/17 1:56pm

assuming Detmer isn't good, who is a good OC that will take the job?

smokymountainrain

9/13/17 1:52pm

Anyone who's aspires to further their coaching career..

BeYoU

9/13/17 1:54pm

Detmer is fine as an OC.

According to what statistics?

BeYoU

9/13/17 1:58pm

2016 was not nearly that bad as it has been in 2017.

Iron Coug

9/13/17 2:15pm

Everything you just said...

BeYoU

9/13/17 3:39pm

Lack of sequential play calling. It seems like they threw the jet sweep in on

Kajdin

9/13/17 1:59pm

Technicality true; in reality, very hard to get non-LDS and creates other issues

insidebyu

Other issues such as...?

In the 80s it was the norm for non-LDS but haven't actively sought non-LDS
