Re: 2016 BYU Coaching Staff
Dick Harmon is tweeting that this hire will be announced before the recruiting weekend along with all other hires---finally a complete coaching staff. Still no word whether he'll go by Reno or Junior.snoscythe wrote:My best guess for the next announced hire is for Reno/Junior Mahe to be hired as the RB coach. Not super excited about that one, but I've heard and seen enough the past three days to think that might happen. I know he's been out recruiting with Sitake tonight.

Re: 2016 BYU Coaching Staff
Any word on Paul Tidwell? I have yet to hear if he was released or if he was coaching some of the linebackers.
Ninety-five percent of the lawyers make the other five percent of us look bad.

The staff is full, now, with Gilford and Mahe without Tidwell.Cougarfan87 wrote:Any word on Paul Tidwell? I have yet to hear if he was released or if he was coaching some of the linebackers.

With the final additions to the coaching staff, Sitake also specified all the position responsibilities for his assistants. Offensive coordinator Ty Detmer will coach quarterbacks, Mike Empey offensive line, Ben Cahoon receivers, Steve Clark tight ends and Mahe running backs. Assistant head coach Ed Lamb will serve as the special teams coordinator and safeties coach while defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki will coach linebackers, Steve Kaufusi defensive line and Gilford cornerbacks.

Re: 2016 BYU Coaching Staff
I like the additions of Gilford and Mahe. Gilford can relate to being a double-minority at BYU and succeeding. Mahe had serious run-ins with the Honor Code came back to finish his career with BYU. Both will be good examples of how you can make mistakes or look different than the majority of students and still have a great experience at BYU.

Re: 2016 BYU Coaching Staff
I'm glad the staff is filled now. I wish it had more experience in certain positions. I am happy that Lamb is on the defense, he needed to be there. I love Ty Detmer as Ocoordinator but think it is going to take some time for him to get the offense rolling. I like Mahe and Gilford and am happy that Gilford has experience as the DB coach at snow and was successful at it. I hope this staff can figure things out real quick because next years schedule is murderers row. Good luck to them all! Go cougars!
