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

mantis mutu

4/25/18 5:04pm

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

icecougar

4/25/18 6:26pm

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

kimdaddy35

4/25/18 4:31pm

If he's going to be gung-ho in recruiting Europe and use his French connections

icecougar

4/25/18 6:28pm

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.

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.

I like the hire

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

He'll be pushed for recruiting in Europe

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