Lee Benson says English found another OC job somewhere else that he considered an upgrade, so he took it. But he was still a disaster as BYU's OC.

Conveniently, Scovil wanted to get out of the NFL.

That was 42 years ago. The only people who might remember now have suspect memories.

The answer is probably a simple one. It was interesting though to see such a big dip in numbers the 1 year he was gone.

Scovil was an assistant coach for the Chicago Bears

He didn't like that the Bears offense was centered around Walter Payton

Apparently, Scovil was WR coach for the Chicago Bears in 1978.

I don't know, I left and was away from '77 to '79.

Scovil was a genius. The real creator of the west coast offense.

The 79 team ended so badly, which is too bad
