So Bevell was contacted and Coach Carrol took him out of the running saying that timing wasn't right. I understand that. Having said that Lance Anderson said something similar to what Ken N said after his interview:
"One of the obvious candidates to replace Bronco Mendenhall as head football coach of the BYU Cougars, Stanford defensive coordinator Lance Anderson, told The Salt Lake Tribune on Friday afternoon that he is interested in the position, but understands that the school probably has its sights set on a higher-profile coach."
Which is another proof to my original point.
What was your original point?
BYU only interviewed 1 other guy other than Sitake and the most qualified candidate left feeling like he was a token interview.
I thought you point was that Holmoe had been negligent in his duties and only interview one other guy. That simply is not true -- he at least interviewed Lance Anderson in addition to Niumatololo, and we know he at least reached out to Darrell Bevell. That's only the people that the media know about. I know Ed Lamb was also interviewed early in the process. There's a difference between "we don't know about it" and "it didn't happen." You're drawing conclusions without information and calling for a guy's job based on those conclusions. What would you expect Lance Anderson (a guy who wants to be a head coach) to say after he was interviewed and didn't get the job?
Essentially, without knowing anything about the interviews (other than the fact that Kalani, Anderson and Ken N. were in fact interviewed), you're saying Holmoe should have hired Anderson, but you have no idea how those interviews did or didn't go.
Maybe if Holmoe would have been patient enough to wait until after NFL season was over, Bevell would have been a candidate but that would have been bad for recruiting so I can give that a pass.
If anyone wants to put an iota of blame on Holmoe for not waiting until the Seahawks (ahem....Bevell) conceded the Superbowl to the Pats on February 1st, they are up in the night. Not only for recruiting, but hiring any assistants.
. What kind of an offer do you think we could make for Reid or Bevell, and do you think that Holmoe is dumb enough that he doesn't have an "open door, you are welcome whenever you'd like, here's a christmas card in the mail to show that we care", relationship?
