I don't think this is a troll job...at least not a complete one

The BYU HC job is a very very tough one. I honestly don't understand why Kalani and Holmoe take as much criticism as they do. They have the most difficult deck of cards to play with in the long history of the program.

Dewey was 30 years ago. I’m guessing things are a little different today.

Didn’t the head coach at SUU leave to be an assistant at BYU?

Add Grimes to that list. Gig at SEC school to BYU

Good attempt at trolling. But open head coaching jobs at FBS schools are rare.

There is nothing that seemed unreasonable in his post.

Disagree. Saying that a guy will pass on getting his first FBS head coach offer

actually there is, but even at that, it is what makes a great troll post.

BYU had a chance this year to have a very good season if not for play calling

Play calling also won us a game we shouldn't have won and kept us close in games

Conference affiliation is not an issue. If BYU wanted they could be in the MWC.
