Maybe. But Bronco chose Nick Howell over K-Pop twice.
So at the very least we’re talking about two given times that he wasn’t preferable to a demonstrably bad DC.

I'm actually warming up to the idea of Kelly Poppinga as DC... Am I crazy?

Kelly could do a great job. I still prefer Hill but Poppinga is probably #2 on my list.

Jaime Hill? You think he’d come back?

You’re just as sane as I am.

That's your opinion

Position coach. We're in the Big12 now. No messing around with low-level hires.
SinkingQuffa
12/1/22 8:54pm
Does he currently have a job? Hope we can get him as a LB coach if not DC
cougaman

Lb coach at boise
Cougz19
12/1/22 9:10pm
So we could probably bring him here to coach the LB if the new DC wanted to.
cougaman
12/1/22 9:13pm
Sure hope so. I’m not advocating he be the new DC but I would love to have him
Cougz19
12/1/22 9:15pm
That may not be completely in BYU's control. It's not as attractive of a positin
TNT
12/1/22 9:10pm
I doubt he's a must-have as a coach.
SinkingQuffa
12/1/22 9:14pm
Right. But just that BYU has less of a shot at a lot of guys
TNT
12/1/22 9:18pm
I sure hope we look more outside our LDS base. For at least 50% of the staff.
SinkingQuffa
12/1/22 9:31pm
Absolutely
TNT
12/1/22 9:32pm
And not these Kalani guys in need of a job.
SinkingQuffa
12/1/22 9:37pm
Love to have him on staff. Want nothing to do with first-time coordinators
cajuncoug
12/1/22 9:40pm
He was already a coordinator at UVA
CaliWG
12/2/22 7:32am
It was Howell there just as here.
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 7:45am
Look at his title
CaliWG
12/2/22 9:10am
I stand corrected. We'd be more impressed with him if he were Vandy's DC
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 9:20am
Not sure. UVA coaches were kinda blindsided by Bronco & left scrambling.
CaliWG
12/2/22 9:39am
I've been kinda shocked at how well they've done for themselves.
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 10:19am
CB's general criticism of Anae was always unwarranted. He is a great OC.
CaliWG
12/2/22 10:32am
I wanted him as a HC. Granted, he'd have his cons
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 10:43am
He had the title, but Howell ran the show. UVA wanted to force Bronco to fire Howell and Bronco refused and retired.
molodyets
12/2/22 9:40am
UVA's issues with Bronco's staff went way beyond Howell.
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 10:01am
It wasn't the only issue, but that was the change the admin was telling him he had to make.
molodyets
12/2/22 10:22am
Is this CB FO news?
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 10:30am
Bronco had far more success at UVA than anyone since Welsh
CaliWG
12/2/22 11:02am
This is certainly true, but Bronco really needs to learn diplomacy, too.
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 11:06am
It depends on his goals
CaliWG
12/2/22 11:24am
I guess I should say, I WISH he'd learn some diplomacy.
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 11:30am
“Co-coordinator”
cajuncoug
12/2/22 12:11pm
Not laterally. BYU position coach would be a major upgrade over Boise.
CharlottesvilleCoug
12/2/22 9:55am
But the position hire itself would be a lateral one. My context is clear.
SinkingQuffa
12/2/22 12:16pm
Nobody knows how any of the names floating around on the lists will do. It’s a crapshoot and anybody who is justifiably
molodyets
12/1/22 8:55pm
I like him because he is a no nonsense guy and bronco disciple. He will demand
kansascougar
12/1/22 8:56pm
Offer him a LB coaching position if we decide to go with someone else.
runningryan
12/1/22 9:32pm
Well, Virginia made some interesting adjustments on D in the 2nd half vs BYU…
icecougar
12/1/22 10:51pm
Nick Howell for the win
kansascougar
12/2/22 6:47am
Pass.
byubyu
12/1/22 8:58pm
Why?
TempeCoug
12/1/22 9:02pm
Because he was Bronco’s second choice behind Nick Howell.
Social Distance
12/1/22 9:05pm
That means very little. A decision made in the past…

Maybe. But Bronco chose Nick Howell over K-Pop twice.
Social Distance
12/1/22 10:09pm
Maybe Bronco knew that KP wasn’t the best fit in BM’s systems…
Refugee
12/2/22 10:56am
Because he's never been a coordinator before and hadn't been overly impressive

Would love to get Nua on board as well in some capacity -
Julius Pepperwood
12/1/22 8:58pm
Love to get Nua as DC and Poppinga as LB coach
runningryan
12/1/22 9:33pm
Someone pointed out to me that those two have different different philosophies so that probably doesn’t work chemistry
runningryan
12/1/22 10:21pm
This is the staff
wildlandfireguy
12/1/22 9:51pm
Lol Odum isn’t coming to be a position coach without being the DC
molodyets
12/1/22 9:53pm
It’s hope it’s happening.
wildlandfireguy
12/1/22 9:56pm
Swap out Nua with Odum and I agree. Odum is proven and has an aggressive defense
The_Cuss
12/1/22 11:37pm
Almost all of Jay Hill's career is coaching offense.
Emmett Fitz-Hume
12/2/22 12:06am
He’s coached the defense his entire time at Weber and his years at Utah were split 4:5 in favor of the offense
molodyets
12/2/22 3:40am
That’s just not true! He’s had experience with the defense.
U2wearblue
12/2/22 8:54am
BYU needs someone who has held the position before, IMO, and that’s why Odum
Desertcoug85
12/1/22 9:57pm
Kelly is an excellent coach and should be considered
Cougrrrs Roll

Be a great Linebacker coach

I like KPop, but if he's that good, did anybody make a run at him at UVA? Also,
