His best ones have been outside, but I remember Nashif, Hall, Cummard

The word "usually" is the only one I'm having trouble with here.

should've said "at first" or "early in his career at BYU" and he'd be more...

icecougar

I like Lee, but his lack of experience isn't what I thought we needed

Let's be honest. Lee didn't really have the "alpha" weight to throw around.

If Lee is the key to Yoeli returning then great hire

No inside info here, but I’d be shocked if that were the case

CommodoreCoug

Sounds like the easy, lazy hire. There's Coach Rose still coasting.

I heard Steve Cleveland talking about it the other day and that was his

LOL...its not like people are lining up to be assistant coaches.

I think the point is assistant coach in Provo doesn’t have a line of

My perception as well. Hope I'm wrong.

We all wish Lee as a player had been that kinda Skeletor.

mantis mutu

4/25/18 4:50pm

for Lee this is the equivalent of being hired by the Post Office. Lifetime...

icecougar

4/25/18 7:12pm

Just what we need — another alum with no success elsewhere.

vagabonder

4/25/18 4:50pm

I like the hire

Cougforgood

4/25/18 4:51pm

"Forces"? As in like constipation?

mantis mutu

problem is, I think he's at the point in his career where he needs the help...

Cummard could be a good one

Coogar2

4/25/18 5:13pm

I look at the hire as a sign Rose is on his way out

Seasider

4/25/18 5:23pm

which is why many are labeling it another "easy, lazy hire"

icecougar

4/25/18 6:37pm

Lee is a great hire. We were going to lose him to a P5 school if we didn't offer. CB

MaxxPower

4/25/18 5:31pm

I sure hope you're right. Even still, I'd like to see someone lopped off then.

mantis mutu

4/25/18 5:33pm

He'll be pushed for recruiting in Europe

MaxxPower

4/25/18 5:41pm

yeah...we'll see

"New Blood" didn't really help last year.

rockhound

4/26/18 10:33am

It helped...& hurt. Yes, Heath counted as new blood. So would Lee IF

mantis mutu

He should had move on to another program to broaden his experience before being

that's okay, there's BYU SN if you want lots of blue goggled fluff and rah-rah

I'm not saying everything needs to be rah rah, but when the guy is just hired

BYU I Bleed Blue

4/25/18 7:07pm

well, we've had some less than scintillating assistant coaching hires of late...

icecougar

4/25/18 7:19pm

I'm just curious what great special hire they could have gotten?

BYU I Bleed Blue

4/25/18 8:46pm

it doesn't have to be an LDS hire....

It seems that your premise is that we needed a coaching hire in order to improve next year

Indy Coug

Really? I agree with his premise. Our coaching the last 3 years

kimdaddy35

if your premise is improvement is dichotomous, I don't agree with your premise
