MarkWatney Devil’s avocado here, Larry

recruit 3-4 defensive linemen before that and they got hit with injuries (similar to us) this year. He has a reputation as a great recruiter as well. Seems like a good fit to bring him back.

Gurney with a hint to potential D shakeups

Gifford would be a big loss.

DieHarder

12/2/21 10:48am

Yeah but I am sure he doesn't want to be a position coach for forever and strike while the iron is hot.

I'd throw Unga in there.

Gifford is old but not THAT old. I mean we have 20 years before we lose him yes?

Please hire Tuiaki as head coach. We want to keep Lamb and Gilford

BYU '80

12/2/21 10:48am

Please CSU, take Lamb off our hands!

molodyets

12/2/21 10:58am

What's your beef with Lamb?

Tricky

12/2/21 11:05am

Lamb is not as good as most think

Rat

12/2/21 11:24am

And underappreciated by those that say he's overvalued. His recruiting philosophy has helped BYU tremendously.

Turnpike Lane

12/2/21 12:15pm

His recruiting philosophy is actually one of the reasons that hurts his case

Rat

12/2/21 12:44pm

Maybe moving the to B12, but not from 2016 til now.

Turnpike Lane

12/2/21 12:50pm

How so?

Reasonable1

12/2/21 1:00pm

Do you have any objectivity to your opinions?

Pretorian

12/2/21 1:58pm

His “recruiting philosophy” is like circa-2000 GEICO

Coop

12/2/21 1:08pm

He lost more games than he won at SUU. His overall record was 45 - 47.

Bullrider

12/3/21 8:49am

If you take away the FBS games which are a higher division his record is 44-41. Also won 2 conference championships.

SolidBlue

12/3/21 9:33am

Also put multiple players into the NFL from SUU

I Dont agree. I had the most amazing Lamb at an Italian Restaurant in St. George

"Fair catch the kick off or else" never uttered by lamb cost us every time

Gilford, yes. Lamb, no.

It's kind of a Heaps/Nelson deal. "insider's" opinions of Lamb depend wholly on who from the program has your ear.

It’s not whether he is a good coach. It’s how he gets along with players.

Thrill

12/2/21 5:19pm

Lamb is awful. Every time he leaves a position group it becomes better.

byubyu

12/2/21 5:46pm

Weird how that has worked out ,huh?

CarolinaCoug

12/2/21 5:52pm

Only an idiot st coach purposely loses yards on returns=lamb. No rxcuse.NONE

CarolinaCoug

12/2/21 5:51pm

He coached ST they were a joke, he coached safeties, they were a joke back to ST

Big12Yfan

10/29/22 1:40pm

Why would we wonder about CSU job openings when they don't even have a coach?

mokelembembe

12/2/21 10:52am

Because maybe their HC target is currently a staff member in Provo?

molodyets

12/2/21 10:58am

Doubt that, but I think Grimes could be so maybe that's the thinking. Makes sense.

mokelembembe

12/2/21 11:01am

Vic So'oto may be available. Would be a good hire.

MarkWatney

12/2/21 10:56am

Why? It seems the d-line there was mediocre

HoustonCougar

MarkWatney

H3 has more defensive experience 5han Tuiaki had. His dlines were and are better

CarolinaCoug

12/3/21 1:54am

Who wants coach a D-line that gets no help because we drop 8

Count Cougar

12/2/21 12:18pm

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Great... we're going to lose people like Gilford and have to keep Tuiaki

letthewookieewin

12/2/21 11:01am

Hadley is one I might expect. Then Lamb if he can become a DC or HC. Tuiaki if he gets the SUU job.

Turnpike Lane

12/2/21 12:17pm

Agree. I'm all in for replacing Hadley and Lamb. Gilford must be retained.

Twitch Chatter

12/2/21 1:28pm

After Kalani, Gilford is the 2nd most important person on the staff.

molodyets

12/2/21 1:36pm

No it's A-Rod. As BYU's QBs go so goes BYU. We've gotten by with so-so DBs a lot

pinolero

12/2/21 1:44pm

We have a potential replacement for A-Rod in Fesi. Gilford as a black, non-LDS alumni with good exp is irreplaceable.

molodyets

12/2/21 1:57pm

No he's not. They would find a good replacement. Remember when Detmer was OC

pinolero

12/2/21 2:41pm

This is correct

thegoodmeister

12/2/21 6:52pm

Has he applied for that SUU job?

AntiSNOT

12/2/21 11:37pm

Lamb is our Assistant HC why would he aspire to be a DC?

ManicBlue

12/2/21 11:40pm

Just ran through some CSU desired coaching lists. Not a peep of anybody remotely related to BYU. Not Grimes, not anyone.

mokelembembe

12/2/21 3:00pm

Maybe Bronco could come back as DC. 🙂

ManicBlue

12/2/21 3:29pm

Would not go well at all with KS. Too close for Bronco, and styles

BYUHgrad

12/2/21 4:12pm

I don't agree.

ManicBlue

Bronco called defenses (sans Howell) are awesome. Totally agree.

For sure. I could dream that, too!!

Well..i doubt its the one we need to leave.
