Downside is the fanbase will hate the option offense even if they start winning and move into upper 3rd of the PAC 10.2. Will also hurt BYU recruiting as well. The reality is that if he takes the job, its probably due to the timing being better than it was when byu slot was open. If he takes it, and beats the cougs this fall, many here will be in the gall of bitterness, with weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
