Jay Hill is currently 37-28 lifetime. Thoughts?

BleedCougarBlue2

There are zero slam dunk candidates

donnerstag

10/3/19 10:22am

When has there ever been a slam dunk candidate for BYU?

ataylor

10/3/19 10:24am

True, but so far he's 2-10, 6-5, 7-5, 11-3, 10-3, 1-2. Notice the upward...

BleedCougarBlue2

Also, his 2 losses this year came in close road games to SDSU and Nevada.

Byron McNertney

10/3/19 10:39am

That's called "punching above your weight". Can anyone see that need @ BYU?

Every September for the foreseeable future

Weber was on NCAA probation when Hill took over.. (reduced Scholarships)

And it's a clean program now, correct? If so, that's another plus for him.

BleedCougarBlue2

From what i've seen... Its a great program...

Ok, but any way you say it, they are a smaller program than BYU. That locker...

Crowton. Success as an HC with LA Tech and a respectable stint as an NFL OC.

vagabonder

10/3/19 10:32am

That was the only one that came to my mind as well. Not a good sign.

ataylor

10/3/19 10:35am

Hmmm....IMO very doubtful the BoT would give him a 2nd chance due to so....

BleedCougarBlue2

10/3/19 10:47am

I didn't say he should be rehired, only that he was a slam dunk hire at the time

vagabonder

10/3/19 10:48am

Gotcha.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/3/19 10:59am

Whittingham in 2005 was the most slam dunk candidate ever

donnerstag

10/3/19 10:35am

Sure. I was thinking more of guys with head coach experience, but yeah.

ataylor

10/3/19 10:43am

While he didn't have HC experience, BYU was competing with Utah

donnerstag

10/3/19 10:47am

Right.

ataylor

10/3/19 10:50am

Whitt struggled in the beginning of PAC. Depth helps.

Benfica1

10/3/19 11:13am

Crowton was about as slam dunk as could be as OC for the Bears

If Sitake ends up being done, I'll bet it's >90% chance Jay Hill gets the job.

RdF3

10/3/19 10:24am

Sources close to Jay Hill say that he doesn't want the BYU job

donnerstag

10/3/19 10:37am

Maybe he really does think that, but once an actual job is offered and the contract is put on the table, I bet he would

RdF3

10/3/19 10:39am

Even if he'd be interested, he doesn't have a track record coaching

BYU Fan

10/3/19 10:45am

I agree, but I think he’d be the most impressive candidate.

RdF3

10/3/19 10:47am

Paul Peterson should get a look

donnerstag

10/3/19 10:51am

How's he doing at Dixie?

BleedCougarBlue2

10/3/19 10:52am

He's 3-1 so far

donnerstag

Looks like he's doing it with poor QB play too...

mokelembembe

10/3/19 11:14am

He’s who I’d have hired at offensive coordinator both after 2015 and 2017.

ataylor

10/3/19 10:55am

Would you rather hire an FBS HC with a "losing" record? Not me. Winners win.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/3/19 10:51am

Yeah, but would you really want a him? The next coach needs to have a vision

Pasadena

He may not want to worry about all the extra hassles at BYU

Even if you take out Kalani's 0-4 start

displacedute

Nope. Win at least half the games. That's how you maintain a true rivalry,...

BleedCougarBlue2

10/3/19 7:31pm

You're setting yourself up for some very frustrating decades.

displacedute

10/3/19 9:47pm

So you obviously expect me to roll over and die? My expectations are mine.

BleedCougarBlue2

I told you that your own expectations are your prerogative.

Doubtful. He's young and competitive. What kind of young, winning, competetive

BleedCougarBlue2

"Sources"? Surely BYU HC pays more than Weber HC.

What sources are those?

One thing I like about Hill is that he took a program that was down in the dumps

^^^^^ Ding! Ding! Ding! "We have a winner!" You got it.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/3/19 10:39am

His last 2 years were 11 win seasons and he just beat a ranked team

BigYfan

He took over a program that was 2-10 & 2-9 in the two seasons before he arrived

CaliWG

Fesi Sitake & Preston Hadley worked for Jay Hill as well at Weber St

10/3/19 10:40am

He'd probably be a good coach. You never know.

Benfica1

10/3/19 11:19am

He will be the next BYU HC. Anae is the best candidate, but his personality will

Backcountry

10/3/19 11:40am

You are right on 2 of 3.....Crowton was a head coach.

Real G Man

10/3/19 11:43am

NFL OC immediately before BYU, right?

Backcountry

10/3/19 11:44am

He was a HC at NE Louisiana or some directional school.

Real G Man

10/3/19 12:06pm

I didn't realize that. That dude had a wild career.

Backcountry

10/3/19 12:16pm

Also, OC at Oregon, LSU and Maryland.

Benfica1

10/3/19 2:53pm

Hmmmm, don't believe that BYU is known as a lousy HC job. Difficult maybe.

CaliWG

I have to agree with this.

Backcountry

10/3/19 12:16pm

The BYU job might not offer great job stability you coach at BYU with P5 loaded

franklyvulgar

10/3/19 12:32pm

Agree completely

Backcountry

10/3/19 1:14pm

Hill turned down the OC job at Utah

10/3/19 1:22pm

Because he wanted to be a head coach

That shows both integrity & wisdom in not simply chasing $; both r impressive.

Which is why i can see him taking the BYU job.

Backcountry

10/3/19 1:23pm

End your coaching career? That's the case with any job. Would you suggest he

cougaman

10/3/19 1:27pm

BYU is a dead end. Expectations are unrealistic relative to available resources

Backcountry

It certainly killed Broncos career... Sitake just isn't good enough.

Yes, it was a whole 3 years ago!

And USU/SDSU and others may very well be on par, but there is at least 10 times

cougaman

10/4/19 10:58am

Again - if that's their perception, that's their perception.

Eddie

10/4/19 11:08am

Well, if it comes to that, BYU can make the offer and see what happens.

cougaman

10/4/19 3:16pm

BYU a "career killer": totally disagree. Just need the right HC; winners win.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/3/19 7:54pm

How many good HC jobs do you think are out there? He'd take BYU if offered.

Benfica1

10/3/19 1:44pm

Like I said, I agree. But I would understand it if he turned BYU down.

Backcountry

10/3/19 2:11pm

Do you think a P5 program is going to offer an FCS coach a head job?

Utah is a real possibility
