Think he'd be decent. Don't see him as a lifer coach though. Think he would

HC's that need strong assistants are NOT a winning plan for BYU. Ever. Kalani is more than enough on that.

What? lol. You always want the best possible people around you. LOL

Yeah. But BYU can't afford them. We at least need an HC competent enough to go get the under-the-radar guys

Oh, you mean like Fueger, and previously Burgess, and previously Pope? You have the strangest takes on this board.

"Strange" — as in calling the current UK HC hire a very good HC two years ago — when half the board said he sucked?

Well it sure seems as though Dave Rose and Mark Pope "needed" strong assistants in Fueger, Burgess, and Pope.

That's actually a pretty ignorant & pointless response.

NEEDS implies incompetence. Isn't that what the OP implied?

No coaching staff develops a great team or program without excellent coaching across the board.

And it all starts & ends at the head, does it not?

So the assistants don’t matter and should be not smart? Nor should they be figure HCs. Got it.

Quote me on that. That's not what I said. If I thought Burgess was a competent HC as a hirer & delegator

Dave Rose’s track record disagrees with you

I don't know how to say exactly why I believe Rose was a better bball mind than is Burgess.

So basically you agree with my OP. Burgess needs a stud like Rice if he gets hired.

Apr 12, 11:39am
Yeah. I don't think he knows how to identify & lure that kinda guy, though. And then set up shop for him to do his thing

Negatives: He's a UU guy and would be out the door if/when UU job opens up.
