So because Tom Holmoe didn't hire the guy that wanted to bring the wishbone to BYU he should be fired? That's so crazy to me2 years ago when Bronco left, there was only one guy who had a shot at becoming the HC even thought multiple candidates expressed interest. 2 candidates that IMO were as qualified and had shown better results that Sitake commented that BYU had their sights set on someone else as to why they weren't given a shot. This is why I want at least a serious review of Tom Holmoe's Job if we don't make a bowl game next year. I hate buddy hires. BYU should hire the best guy for the job regardless of whether this person was a BYU player or whatever in the past. IMO from what I have read, that was not the case 2 years ago.I see many people with this sentiment, but I'm not sure I can tell where Tom has done something worthy of firing... was he supposed to NOT hire Sitake? Was he supposed to step in the middle of this year's dumpster fire and meddle in a coaching staff in the middle of the season? I don't get the Holmoe hate (other than it being a sign that we as a fan base are super duper mad and are ready to burn every suspected witch - real or not.)If the ship isn't righted next year, Tom and Kalani need to go.

Sitake's first year was above expectations (clearly due to personnel) his second year was also personnel driven. Was Holmoe supposed to know before the season started that it would be a train wreck and fire Detmer? Who could he have brought in then? Actually if you fire Detmer before the offense implode THEN you'd be run out of town by angry mobs with torches and pitchforks... so should he have not hired Detmer? Same result. Again Every Holmoe decision that I've seen is justifiable. He'll be justified if he fires Sitake next year too. And for the record, I wasn't a Sitake fan when he was hired - I've never liked the hire, but I see why it was done and don't see it as a firable offense for the AD. I've not seen any good explanation as to why he needs to go except that we're mad as hell and firing one person isn't enough for us.If a VP at a company starts hurting the performance of a product line it's on the CEO to fix it. You're right, BYU football was a dumpster fire, one that Holmoe started.I see many people with this sentiment, but I'm not sure I can tell where Tom has done something worthy of firing... was he supposed to NOT hire Sitake?

Holmoe hired Kalani. Holmoe hired Detmer. Holmoe allowed this entire staff to be hired and when the dumpster fire raged Holmoe did nothing. I don't see how you could not blame Holmoe.
