BYU has always been known to be cheap when it come to paying coaches. Why would this change now? How much more are they willing to spend? And why would anyone want to come here and deal with the administration, the honor code, and the ridiculously high academic standards and get paid less to do it? And if they do come and have success they will probably just take off to the first P5 program that comes a calling.
But we do need better coaching. There's no way around it. Get an LDS guy like Lance Anderson in as HC and give him a bunch of $ to get top coordinators (who don't have to be LDS).
Laying the blame for our current woes where it's due, I would put 60% on Tom Holmoe and 40% on the coaches.

I can see how that would be useful in an era of Independence where we're not playing the same teams year after year. But we do play a lot of the same teams, so I'm not sure how far the advantage of being different would take us. You can see that in Navy's experience. Outside of the first year Paul Johnson took over, he and his apprentice Ken Niumatolo won 100 games in 12 seasons from 2003 to 2014, an average of 8.3 and only had one down year--a five win season in 2011. But after Navy joined a conference they won 11, 9, 7 and 3 games over the last 4 seasons.Yeah this is pretty much the conclusion that I've come to.I think BYU needs to hire a coach that is not doing what nearly every other program is doing.
Watch BYU's offense, it's the same type of offense nearly every other team runs. But when you run up against better athletes we lose those battles. We need to be different. We can't just try to be better at being the same.
Whether that's a triple option or Run-and-shoot or double TE I-formation, BYU needs to be different.
