The head coach has to be the "closer" with recruits. If recruits didn't like him it wouldn't work. I think he is a good coach though. Virginia's offense is physical and tough.

Re: What do you think the fan reaction would be?
YES absolutely YES bring in coaches with a coaching pedigree not just because they are "card carrying members".
I do believe KS has the ability to turn this around. (I know you do not) BYU handcuffs themselves to much to be going out and firing coaches after 1 bad year. Ty isn't going anywhere and I hope Lamb and Kafusi don't leave. The rest it might be time to replace with someone with previous coaching experience. Coaches like a Gary Anderson, Aaron Roderick or how about Eric Drage. Why has Drage never been an option?

I would love to see Drage as the receivers coach. I know him personally. He's a great guy. I feel he would be tough and no nonsense with the guys. Make them execute perfectly.a1247 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2017 9:23 pmYES absolutely YES bring in coaches with a coaching pedigree not just because they are "card carrying members".

Drage can come and coach at BYU once he has a minimum of 3 years coaching receivers at FBS level. Otherwise, I wouldn't even interview him.

Re: What do you think the fan reaction would be?
Haven't we learned our lesson about hiring an alumnus because they played well at BYU and then haven't been involved in coaching for years and/or decades to at extremely low level so as to barely qualify as coaching as opposed to volunteering.
Like Hawk says, let's wait until he's had some serious collegiate experience coaching before we even give him a look.

Re: What do you think the fan reaction would be?
And another point I'd like to bring up is that in the collegiate coaching world, you bring in new ideas by hiring those with experience with other coaches and other styles. BYU is terrible and stagnant now because the coaches don't have any experience working in any other systems or with any other coaches.SpiffCoug wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2017 2:27 pmHaven't we learned our lesson about hiring an alumnus because they played well at BYU and then haven't been involved in coaching for years and/or decades to at extremely low level so as to barely qualify as coaching as opposed to volunteering.

Personally I'd make sure that there was always 3 or 4 guys on the staff who had no previous experience with BYU but came from coaching trees outside of the BYU umbrella.

Re: What do you think the fan reaction would be?
I think the general fan reaction would be negative to Anae being hired as head coach.
I have my doubts, but it's very well possible Anae could make the transition to head coach. I'm not sure if I personally would be ready yet to take that risk.

Conspiracy Theory:
frdbtr, the author of this thread, is actually Tom Holmoe. He's testing the waters on Anae and of course came to Cougar Corner first.
