anyone would expect based on his resume. That's what gets people worried when dumb speculation like this gets thrown out there. I have no animus against Howell, I treat him as one of our guys, and I obviously hope he's spectacularly successful as BYU's DC. I haven't seen him get crapped on here, I've see very true assessments of the thinness of his resume.
You are an inveterate cheerleader for this coaching staff, so your position doesn't surprise me. But quit pretending like people are being big fat meanies here, because they're not.
