I'm pretty sure Rick spent more time wolfing down JCW the Burger Boy's Big “C” Cheeseburgers than he did grooming the administrative helpers on his staff.

Didn't we learn anything from Kalani's failed experiment hiring buddies/former..

icecougar

It doesn’t. It was a lazy and weak hire.

LaComb worked under Majerus before he came to BYU.

RockyBalboa

manager of basketball operations not a coach

Let's not pretend he didn't learn anythign from that experience. He was basically a coach/recruiter.

Turnpike Lane

4/26/18 11:44am

I didn't think a team manager could recruit. Doesn't he hand out towels, etc?

icecougar

4/26/18 11:45am

That would count as recruiting for those that know of Rick's escapades.

Can on campus. Not off. But coordinates. Good article explaining what they can do, and can't.

Lacomb is a great guy but doesn't actually do any coaching

thebruce

4/26/18 11:48am

Sure he knows hoops.

RockyBalboa

4/26/18 11:58am

Not at the level as most D1 assistants. There is a reason not much is asked

thebruce

4/26/18 7:08pm

That's a pretty sweet gig

icecougar

4/26/18 8:23pm

It pays to be best friends with your boss.

thebruce

4/26/18 9:21pm

Its ok to pretend to know what you don’t know

RockyBalboa

4/26/18 10:55pm

that must've been quite a burden

icecougar

4/26/18 12:53pm

Not really. I passed out basketballs and such. Then was an assistant to the assistants for a HS team, then somehow

Basketball and football staffing are even remotely close to the same.

Turnpike Lane

4/26/18 11:43am

The "got other gigs" part is what's missing here

CommodoreCoug

3 Rose assistants have left for D1 head coaching jobs in the last 7 years

Indy Coug

4/26/18 11:51am

Yup. Rice, Pope and Schroyer. None of them ex-BYU players.

CommodoreCoug

4/26/18 11:52am

those were all good hiring decisions. guys from outside the program who brought.

Let's not pretend the situation you described at Duke is the same as here...

We agree a lot not this time

Did you see how many years of experience Coach K's former players had when assisting him?

Indy Coug

4/26/18 11:49am

If Rose had Coach K's resume I wouldn't worry about anything he decided...

icecougar

4/26/18 11:56am

I think it really has more to do with players anyway. Duke gets top-3 recruiting classes every year. Easy to be a genius

Turnpike Lane

4/26/18 12:07pm

another reason why that example doesn't fit with our situation here at BYU

icecougar

4/26/18 12:16pm

Solid comparison.

Gerald-DeGroot

4/26/18 12:54pm

I've heard speculation (before the hire was made) that if is was Cummard that

SoCalCoug

4/26/18 11:50am

I think Rose has given enough hints that he's gone in 2 years

thebruce

4/26/18 11:51am

How does Lee being hired = Rose leaving?

JuicyJam

4/26/18 12:01pm

It doesn't. Just that it was mentioned on CB in a prior thread, became

basman

4/26/18 12:04pm

More than just CB, it was also talked about on ESPN960

icecougar

4/26/18 12:28pm

It's the easiest call, it gives him a couple years of experience as a D-1 coach

SoCalCoug

4/26/18 5:02pm

A year from now CB will claim Cummard should replace Rose

Coogar2

4/26/18 7:00pm

One and single ❓: Can Lee Cummard recruit???

MichCoug

4/26/18 11:55am

I don't mind the hire. Ultimately I only care about

thebruce

4/26/18 11:56am

my guess there is Quincy would be more dialed in...

icecougar

4/26/18 12:18pm

I fully support Rose and I like the hire of Cummard. By hiring him we likely

PortlandBlue

4/26/18 12:01pm

Interesting...seems to me that a shake-up, rather than "stability"

CommodoreCoug

4/26/18 12:06pm

So you're completely in agreement with any "drain the swamp" philosophy?

StarMan

RE: So you're completely in agreement with any "drain the swamp" philosophy?

CommodoreCoug

4/26/18 12:25pm

well, swamps aren't very pleasant. they generally smell, lots of mosquitoes etc.

icecougar

4/26/18 12:27pm

Crazy to not support a coach who has never won fewer than 20

Coogar2

4/26/18 7:02pm

I was hoping to get a long time X's and O's type assistant.

Thrill

4/26/18 12:06pm

Yeah! Let's get someone with lots of experience. Like Heath Schroyer, maybe.

Art Director

4/26/18 12:37pm

there was good and bad there...

icecougar

4/26/18 1:03pm

To be fair, there's not really any evidence Sitake hired guys

Lip Gallagher

4/26/18 2:01pm

Call it what you want, buddies, loyalty hires, etc...

icecougar

4/26/18 8:20pm

Replacing Shroyer with Cummard is a net negative.

SlantRoute

4/26/18 2:05pm

Agreed. We need assistants with experience under different systems and coaches.

chazen

4/26/18 4:54pm

If Lee is the secret sauce to keep Yoeli then this is a great hire

Coogar2

4/26/18 7:03pm

Is that just an "if" or is there something to that?

icecougar

4/26/18 8:22pm

I don't agree with the negativity. But then this is CB
