This. BYU with an established offensive brand in Indy would be a nice change.

BYU has spent the better part of the first 8 seasons trying to find an offensive identity. Had Anae never left, they'd have had it from the get go. And can you imagine an established Anae 1.0 Offense with those Bronco defenses from '11, '12, '13? That would've made Independence a lot more fun.

I'm in NO WAY implying that I know anything about BYU's negotiation(s) with the Big XII. I am NOT a sports insider.

Except for BYU's national media coverage being higher than the majority of D1.

Not as bad as hiring Kalani

Honestly, who else? Realistically with the lack of $, who else would we get?

Iki_Balam

8/20/18 9:28am

Yeah maybe the Kalani hire was bad. But they had 2 or 3 realistic options.

JuicyJam

8/20/18 5:21pm

2 or 3... at the VERY most. Brother Reid isn't (voluntarily) leaving the NFL to coach at BYU.

I would go back further and keep Rondo
