a season where he took a team full of sailors to an 11-2 record and a #18 final ranking, with the losses both coming to teams that were ranked in the top 25. His boring offense put up 45 points on the #15 team in the country that season -- on the road no less.
Sitake, on the other hand, was coming off of a 2-10 season at Oregon State in which his defense gave up nearly 40 points a game to D1A teams (holding Weber State to seven points being the obvious outlier). The man he chose to be his defensive coordinator when hired by BYU was on this same staff.
Yikes.
