Problem is, during that heart beat, he'd have done two shots.I’d take Steve Sarkisian as an OC in a heart beat.

Yeah, I was never a fan of Howell. I'm just saying that some OJT would be helpful at a place like BYU. I do think that Howell learned from his time as the DC. The basic principle of casting shadows wasn't awful--get tall defensive ends to clog passing lanes up closer to the QB. It was overly relied on, though, forgetting that D Linemen also had to use their hands to fend off O Linemen.You want the guy that thought "Casting Shadows" was a good enough defensive idea to effectively kill our defense for an entire season... That guy to be the head coach?One of the huge benefits that Bronco had was being an assistant under the HC at BYU for a while. BYU is such a unique place, and coaching at BYU even more so, that having some experience seeing those issues and formulating a strategy to address them--before actually needing to do so--was a huge benefit. I think that has been overlooked.
LaVell had that benefit as the DC coaching under Hudspeth. Bronco had that as the DC under Crowton. Both were successful.
Neither Hudspeth nor Crowton nor Sitake had that benefit. All of them had poor showings.
Yeah, it's just a correlation, and the sample size is small, but it's a perfect correlation.
To me, that indicates that elevating Steve Kaufusi or perhaps bringing back Nick Howell might be possibilities. I'm not saying that the current staff should go, but if they do, we should pay attention to what has worked at this uniquely challenging institution.
I'm just at a loss for words.
