...players as assistants who have no experience or at best very little?
Right now Rose's staff consists of:
Lacomb - 7 yrs D-1 assistant coaching exp (all at BYU under Rose)
Lewis - 2 yrs D-1 assistant coaching exp (all at BYU under Rose)
Cummard - 0 yrs D-1 assistant coaching exp.
I liked Lee as a player and can easily give him the benefit of the doubt that he'll eventually become a good assistant coach. Problem is, this staff needs serious help now.
My question on the decision to promote Lee is: "How does this hire change the status quo when he was already part of the staff the past 2 yrs?"
