to dramatically improve Utahs defense. If they struggle in the first year with Morgan as HC, or only makes hill look bad

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.

And how old is Morgan Scalley?

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

ManicBlue

Because they already are.

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

$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.

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.

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.

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.

DavisCoCoug

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

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

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

Sparkling Delirium

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

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

Does Jay Hill still have kids that attend BYU?

BYU has more $$ than Utah

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

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