Is Nick Howell the Next Coach at BYU?

We finally have football this week! However, until then we have one more week of writing about things to come. To whet your appetite, let me wax prophetic about how I see things playing out in the long run for BYU Football and their future head coach. The State of Coaching at BYU Bronco Mendenhall […]

What about 2J? He actually has HC experience.

flyusaf

8/26/14 6:07am

Out of the two....Nick or 2J

I remember when Chow was the heir apperent. could you imagine

stonecougar

8/26/14 6:12am

Agreed - Nick needs to leave the state of Utah one time in his life.

oxcoug

8/26/14 6:16am

I agree. I'd have no problem with him being the guy if he succeeds elsewhere too

BarraCouga

8/26/14 6:24am

Sure, right after Doman.

cougarick

8/26/14 6:08am

What unbelievably stupid speculation.

oxcoug

8/26/14 6:15am

Just what BYU needs: Break new ground by hiring the first ever

oxcoug

8/26/14 6:20am

Amen brother Ox, amen!!

Heinz57

8/26/14 6:22am

Think of the good publicity we would get if we hired the first Woman HC

HighHorse

8/26/14 6:28am

ESPN would pick us up for another 7 years for sure!

IndependentGeorge

8/26/14 6:42am

Hadn't thought of this - first openly gay HC?

oxcoug

8/26/14 6:48am

Even better. This will get us an invite into the PAC-12.

IndependentGeorge

8/26/14 6:53am

First openly gay women HC.

maxpowers

Don't forget color

Sportsroof

8/26/14 11:09am

The playing college football is just short of irrelevant to me.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 6:38am

I hear your POV here - but there's a reason it's never happened

oxcoug

8/26/14 6:42am

He actually went to Snow College to play football and received a major.......

OK. Not to be dismissive, but basically that means

oxcoug

8/26/14 7:05am

Point taken. Just was pointing out a fact that very few people know

Anubius31

Don't leave out Gary Anderson

Summary of the logic found in this blog post:

oxcoug

8/26/14 6:40am

I like Sitake. I'd kind of like him to go somewhere else first...

BarraCouga

8/26/14 6:47am

I would bring in Kalani...

Heinz57

8/26/14 6:49am

Is this the same Sitake who has never lived outside KWhitt's shadow?

cougarick

8/26/14 6:50am

1. Sitake played college football; 2. He was a GA at BYU; 3. He coached at S.

oxcoug

8/26/14 7:03am

What was I thinking discounting that long and distinguished coaching career

cougarick

8/26/14 7:35am

Hah, OK - you can say "Sitake and Howell are the same, except not

oxcoug

8/26/14 7:45am

I really don't care where you interned. I just don't. If you do, that's you.

cougarick

8/26/14 8:07am

Howell's rise seems less impressive to someone familiar with BYU and some of

russkiejedi

8/26/14 8:11am

And KWhitt has a great reputation for hiring coordinators?

cougarick

8/26/14 8:16am

Ouch. That one's going to leave a mark...

BarraCouga

8/26/14 8:20am

Haven't seen much of a problem with his DC hiring. Sitake is a well-regarded

russkiejedi

8/26/14 8:24am

Honestly, it's a moot point. If Bronco quit tomorrow, it would be Anae.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 8:28am

Who "hates" Howell? Being skeptical of his resume and his meteoric rise from GA

russkiejedi

8/26/14 8:37am

You must not have been around the board much.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 8:45am

I'm on the board all the time. Surely if it's so obvious, you can easily point

russkiejedi

8/26/14 8:58am

I could share some boardmails I have...but I won't.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 9:05am

But this thread hasn't been about hating Nick Howell. It's been about the

russkiejedi

8/26/14 9:11am

The hating comes from refuting the article.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 9:25am

That would all be true if he hadn't already gotten a job well above what

russkiejedi

8/26/14 9:34am

And if you were a professional, I'd say your opinion on his resume' matters.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 9:39am

Poll every single head coach in DI about where they'd think a guy with Nick

russkiejedi

8/26/14 9:49am

Skepticism is fine. You will note, every post of mine on this has skepticism.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 9:53am

Again, aside from a few boardmailers, who is "trashing the guy?"

russkiejedi

8/26/14 9:58am

I said the Howell hatred baffles me. You admit it exists. It still baffles me.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 10:04am

You responded to my post with "I don't understand the hate."

russkiejedi

8/26/14 10:51am

And I still don't and won't understand the hate. But you can keep asking.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 10:55am

So it's blatantly obvious that you're one of Nick close relatives, the

marriottcoug

I've been traveling the world in the Army for the past 25 years.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 2:23pm

Nick is a "mini me" of Bronco....

Heinz57

8/26/14 8:42am

That Sitake and Howell are the "only" options for HC in 10-15 years is a reach,

randomplay

8/26/14 8:45am

Which is why I said "IF" the resume' supports it.

I certainly hope it wouldnt be anae.

El Joffrey

8/26/14 10:31am

Except for Utah's defense regressing every single season that Sitake's been the

cougarick

8/26/14 8:37am

That regression has coincided with a significant increase in schedule strength.

russkiejedi

8/26/14 8:40am

Not the first two years he regressed their D as DC, and it's debatable if there

cougarick

8/26/14 9:01am

If you've been able to convince yourself that Howell and Sitake have comparable

russkiejedi

8/26/14 9:18am

It's not "convincing," it just is. One is simply further along than the other,

cougarick

8/26/14 9:39am

Good grief. I suppose if you narrow the scope of the argument far enough, it's

russkiejedi

8/26/14 9:55am

I've focused on what's going to qualify them to maybe one day be considered for

cougarick

8/26/14 10:04am

Who is talking about internships? Sitake was a position coach at Eastern AZ, and

russkiejedi

8/26/14 10:48am

Ruskie, we're both just gonna have to roll our eyes and agree to disagree

cougarick

8/26/14 11:05am

There you go again. He was a position coach in two programs

oxcoug

8/26/14 9:28am

Position coach at a podunk college vs HC at a HS. The difference is HUGE!!!!!

cougarick

8/26/14 9:42am

Yeah, actually it is. Howell has only ever been evaluated or promoted by one

oxcoug

8/26/14 9:53am

He got hired as a HC in high school. That's a hire...and not from Bronco.

BarraCouga

8/26/14 9:59am

I know I'm not supposed to say this here but right now

Walter Bellhaven

8/26/14 7:22am

historically, the outside hires have all been bad. Not that it guarantees it

BlueK

8/26/14 8:55am

Sample size of 1?

Walter Bellhaven

8/26/14 9:19am

Lavell was an inside hire.

Accipiter

8/26/14 9:36am

Sample size of 2?

Walter Bellhaven

8/26/14 9:38am

If I give you more you'll just count... right?

Accipiter

8/26/14 9:41am

A sample size of one in the modern era of college football =

Great on-field product

gustav88

8/26/14 8:25am

Please no. Some of our promotions from within are crazy enough as it is.

southernfriedcougar

8/26/14 8:19am

and yet the article makes an interesting point about outside hires for HC at BYU

BlueK

8/26/14 9:01am

You think that's an interesting point? Strikes me as an irrelevant point since

oxcoug

8/26/14 9:51am

That's also the same virtually as Lavell. I think he was hired maybe 2 years

Accipiter

8/26/14 9:59am

This whole article is pointless and stupid

ManicBlue

8/26/14 9:08am

all true

BlueK

8/26/14 9:09am

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever....

8/26/14 9:08am

Ken Nuimatalolo... he would be my first call.

Accipiter

8/26/14 11:47am

THIS! Niumatalolo or Sitake all the way.

doctorthunderpants

8/26/14 12:18pm

Isn't Anae the next head coach?

gobyu

8/26/14 11:55am

Head coaching pedigree: Zero.
