Takes a step down

Outside of Provo most objective cfb fans would say being the DC at Utah isn’t a step down. Your post is fan fiction. His first love…totally normal way of looking at things.

Losing jay Hill to Utah in this scenario is my biggest football fear.

Hill only goes to Utah if he gets HC. DC at Utah is a lateral move.

Depends on the money.

Between Ryan Smith and Ensign Peak, we got this.

Depends on $$$. Morgan Scalley's current salary is 1.4M.

They absolutely will when he’s the HC in waiting. Given the momentum of the

He's the same age as Sitake, though. That means Sitake would have to get fired.

OrsoNero

Sep 25, 5:19pm

And how old is Morgan Scalley?

CougarScrub

Why would you think utah would pay more than BYU for the same position?

ManicBlue

Sep 25, 6:22pm

Because they already are.

I guess you forgot that TV revenue will be the same now. smh

Yeah, Hill should absolutely not be designated HC-in-waiting under a younger Sitake

krindorr

Sep 25, 7:23pm

Just pay him and give him a longer term contract than assistants typically get. Being a DC would have to be way more fun

ManicBlue

$1.4 is a long ways off Kalani’s salary. Not sure where you’re getting your info

Chris Burgess made a lateral move to Utah.

Hmm, where is Burgess coaching now? Oh yeah, lateral back to BYU.

Lateral 😂

It isn't nearly as cut and dry as you seem to think it is.

Whit had been at Utah for over a decade. Hill has been there for 2 years.

Scratch

Sep 25, 9:00pm

He also hasn’t been at Utah in 10 years. Who knows what’s changed in his mind.

Ungoy

Sep 25, 9:35pm

I believe that 100%. I actually think Scalley will promote someone on staff.

Sep 25, 9:36pm

I never said he wouldn’t, just that it’s not so cut and dry as some would say.

Hey, Jay. How would you like to work for a younger and less proven head coach?

Unproven is better than proven to be long term mediocre.

In this case, I think the unknown is better than what Kalani has proven.

Sorry, does CB love Kalani now? Sorry, I can't keep up on whether he's awesome

DavisCoCoug

Sep 25, 4:56pm

Coaches that have never struck out on their own tend to struggle.

Corn Pop

Sep 25, 5:05pm

If you think that, then Hill is better off staying at BYU to become the head coach when Kalani is let go.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Sep 25, 5:52pm

If Kalani is let go then Hill's the next head coach if he's at Utah. Ironically

Sep 25, 6:01pm

Uh....BYU hired Bronco who was the DC for Crowton.

That’s why I said BYU is different.

What were you saying about Kyle his first couple years in the Pac 12?

Goosefrabba

Sep 25, 9:55pm

The problem is, I could see all of those things happening, minus a deep playoff

Sparkling Delirium

Sep 25, 4:31pm

Might be better than the deep playoff run being the only thing that happens

Now I really want to make a "Which is worse" poll

I said "might", those both sound awful. The losing top players is terrible

I don't think losing Jay Hill to Utah temporarily is a big deal

Strawhat4life

Sep 25, 4:36pm

Wrong would be demoralizing especially if he took all his Weber St recruits

HeyU

Sep 25, 6:02pm

That's the biggest issue with losing Hill short term - the recruits that would follow him

krindorr

Sep 25, 7:19pm

Absolutely it’s possible that’s not my argument, it would be devastating to BYU

HeyU

Sep 25, 7:21pm

Agreed, which is why I disagree (w strawhat) that losing him temporarily wouldn't be that bad

krindorr

Sep 25, 7:51pm

There is no way he’ll get the same autonomy to run the defense the way he wants

deliciousmocha

I don’t think Scalley hires Hill, but he is going to give his coordinators

Does Jay Hill still have kids that attend BYU?

Ungoy

BYU has more $$ than Utah

docrick

Utah has unlimited funds by way of the tax purse. Your and my dollars, forced.

If they did, they wouldn't have such a crappy basketball coach

Let's just beat them and go to the playoffs instead then.

Hill is not leaving BYU to be the DC at Utah. Hill will leave for an HC job.

This would be a good year for BYU to defeat the Utes.

That'd mean Kalani would be able to hire his ol' pal, Tuiaki back on as DC.
