Actually, sorry KP has more experience than Tuiaki had.

KPopp coming home

molodyets Slava Ukraini

12/4/22 8:24pm

Excellent. This means a D coordinator has already been hired and we’ll hear soon

whoneedscorners?

12/4/22 8:25pm

I think this is that news…

AZPTCOUG

12/4/22 8:26pm

That would be a major letdown

letthewookieewin

12/4/22 8:27pm

Understatement

icecougar

12/4/22 8:51pm

Is not DC from what I’m hearing that’s going to be Nua. KPopp is a position

dskeen

12/4/22 9:41pm

Jay Hill AHC and DC

slatecoug

12/5/22 12:15am

no way in heck they hired him DC

Deleted

12/4/22 8:28pm

Hope you are right. This seems like smoke though. We wouldn’t be…

AZPTCOUG

12/4/22 8:30pm

BYU wouldn't announce positions before DC, but this is BSU-side leaks.

Narfin'Coug

12/4/22 8:38pm

Yep, this is exactly what I meant

whoneedscorners?

12/4/22 8:44pm

Rumors are pretty strong that BYU knows who the DC is

fattycoug

12/4/22 9:07pm

Yes, but they haven’t told themselves yet!

Radioactive Coug

12/4/22 8:32pm

You have more faith in our management than I do right now. Tuiaki was a similar spot before we made him DC.

Radioactive Coug

12/4/22 8:35pm

Actually, sorry KP has more experience than Tuiaki had.

Radioactive Coug

12/4/22 8:40pm

Agree hope we're right.

kahuna

It's not

slatecoug

12/5/22 12:13am

Or he's the DC

Big Red Thunder

12/4/22 8:26pm

Doubtful

whoneedscorners?

12/4/22 8:31pm

Nope

Cougarclaw

12/4/22 10:29pm

He's probably a no-brainer as a position coach.

SinkingQuffa

12/4/22 8:26pm

What position do you think?

TO11

12/4/22 8:26pm

LB & special teams

LaVellEdwardsStadium

12/4/22 8:28pm

I don’t remember him being a great special teams coach

Social Distance

12/4/22 8:30pm

He was at Boise. Maybe at Virginia, too. His focus will be defense though.

BlooCoog

12/4/22 8:34pm

Will he bring that cool Boise dog that picks up the tee?

conflictedcoug

12/4/22 8:57pm

He will be defensive coach.

outsidethebubble

12/4/22 8:29pm

Wait. Is he the DC? Are we… happy about that?

Kdubb

12/4/22 8:27pm

We don’t know if he’ll be the DC.

TempeCoug

12/4/22 8:29pm

He would leave 240k and assistant Coach -

outsidethebubble

12/4/22 8:31pm

He’s moving from G5 to a P5 program. That matters.

TempeCoug

12/4/22 8:33pm

And there’s no way he’s taking a pay cut either even if he’s not the DC here.

TempeCoug

12/4/22 8:34pm

Yes. He’s getting a raise

LaVellEdwardsStadium

12/4/22 8:49pm

No. Likely getting a promotion from G6 special teams coach to LB coach at P4 BYU.

mulletino

12/4/22 8:29pm

P4. 😃

Big Daddy D

12/4/22 8:42pm

P3 this year🤠

Nat Gas Man

12/4/22 9:00pm

Doesn't matter who it is, al large portion won't be happy with it.

Malathion

12/4/22 8:42pm

LOVE this. Poppinga is a grinder. Just what we need.

BlooCoog

12/4/22 8:28pm

I wouldn’t mind him at DC, but position coach would be great.

DieHarder

12/4/22 8:28pm

I actually don’t care if he’s position or DC. Gimme some new energy.

Heath Squashwell

12/4/22 8:29pm

Exactly. Everyone complaining for years for anyone else, now not happy

Bobmarleyjr

12/4/22 10:02pm

Excited about him - even more so if he is coming as a position coach.

BYUfan92

12/4/22 8:30pm

He was set to make $240k at Boise St as EDGE coach, so lots of jobs here would be an upgrade

krindorr

12/4/22 8:31pm

Any ideas - anyone - how much a similar position at BYU would pay vs the 240K ?

BYUfan92

12/4/22 8:33pm

The Utah LB coach was hired at $200k in 2018 and is now up to $275k

krindorr

12/4/22 10:25pm

Yes, but you are coaching at a P-5 and not a G-5

Hawk Talons

12/4/22 11:11pm

You have a list of salaries by position coached?

Plato

12/4/22 8:34pm

Public record at state universities.

mulletino

12/4/22 8:35pm

I'm asking about at BYU

Plato

12/4/22 10:28pm

Nope, but you can get a decent idea

krindorr

12/4/22 10:49pm

I love this hire

Hawk Talons

12/4/22 8:32pm

Does this mean Frank Maile as DC?

B Blue

12/4/22 8:32pm

Bronco imho.

DieHarder

12/4/22 8:33pm

Possibly

Big12Yfan

12/4/22 8:35pm

If that were the case, BJ Rains would likely have broken that news too.

Social Distance

12/4/22 8:36pm

Great hire this is what Big 12 should mean it is not a lateral move

Big12Yfan

12/4/22 8:34pm

Energetic recruiter. Great hire.

BYU'01

12/4/22 8:39pm

My guess is Nua won’t be DC 😂

runningryan

12/4/22 8:35pm

Did they not play together

Big12Yfan

12/4/22 8:36pm

Why is that? Is there history between those two?

Reach

12/4/22 8:39pm

There was a rumor denigrated by some on here that said Hill was DC and Poppinga was LB coach

My dream! Jay Hill is legit.

squints

12/4/22 9:03pm

Do love Kpop, happy to have him come home

runningryan

12/4/22 8:35pm

I like him. No brainer for a position coach

12/4/22 8:36pm

This hire also tells you a lot about Kalani. He’s humble enough to hire a

Made me laugh so hard I spilled my coffee.. and I don't even drink the stuff.

Les IsMore

12/5/22 11:12am

He’s not DC. Will be LB coach. Jay hill is DC.

yapacoug

12/4/22 8:40pm

Let’s hope. Do you have evidence or just hope?

Big Daddy D

12/4/22 8:44pm

Where did you see that?

Yep

Ok… link?

That would be awesome

B Blue

12/4/22 8:59pm

Interesting announcement as BYU has only announced one coach is leaving

BYU Fan

12/4/22 9:03pm

With Tuiaki gone you can safely assume every D coach is gone

Schultz is back

12/4/22 9:21pm

Dang. I saw him in the chapel when my ward came in today. I should have
