I would love to get Holliday back. I miss his tweets. Good guy and has put a lot of WRs into the NFL.

I could care less where a coach came form, if he can make BYU better that's all that matters to me.

Anyone but a ute, unless that ute is the former BYU coach who stuck around trying to stay on staff and only went to the utes when the current coaching staff decided to hire a former player at his position that had failed on his first attempt at coaching at BYU.

Hoffman was the only receiver worth throwing to. The numbers clearly showed he got the majority of throws. IMO, Hoffman was good because of Hoffman and it had little to do with Cahoon.

Out of all the receivers Cahoon has so far coached, only one was worth throwing to. That says a lot about the coach, IMO.

Right now, I'd take just about anyone over Cahoon.

I definitely remember there being a big drop with the receivers when Cahoon came in, that got worse as it went along under his control. Then he got let go and not a single college in the country offered him another job, which was really telling to me.

It's possible I'm misremembering but I am almost positive that when Cahoon was hired the first time the receivers and their ability to run good routes and catch with higher consistency than the previous year went up a ton. Spiff, perhaps you have some stats that could shed some light on it. When Cahoon was let go did we get Guy right away or did we have someone else for a season. Again, it seemed like things dipped at least a season before our receivers improved again as a collective position group.

I think Cahoon knows what he is doing but just has players that aren't as skilled at gaining the separation as or have the natural ability (ie. height and hands re. Matthews & Hoffman most recently) and therefore he takes the heat the most.

Just my $.02.

161 of Cody Hoffman's 260 career catches came under Cahoon's tutelage. Those two seasons were his two most productive as well.

Who here would take Roderick as WR coach over Cahoon, by the raise of hands?

I would, and I don't even like him. Supposedly he's an excellent recruiter as well.

Hard to answer. I know nothing about the coaches abilities or their recruiting. What we do know is that our WRs had problems this year. Maybe that means that Cahoon is not a good coach. Maybe it is too soon to tell. I don't hear much about his recruiting abilities. Maybe Roderick would be better.

Cahoon receivers weren't impressive under Doman and they again weren't impressive this time in Detmers offense. I don't know if A-Rod could or would do better but I will definitely take his recruiting abilities.
