Awesome news. BYU taking a step in the right direction when assistant coaches are taking better jobs elsewhere.



Thanks for catching that birdie.

And let slip conspiracy theory on Andy Reid coaching in Provo.

Andy is preparing his coaching staff to bring to the Y when he becomes a head coach.



Who will be the next coach? Bring in Doman?

MA Facebook page and twitter is blocked to me so I could not confirm it.

I heard that he is just there until Fall camp working with Reid. Unless he just got an offer.

@CoachAtuaia: Tough saying goodbye to my family until December, but it was inevitable. Working with Coach Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs until #BYU camP



I guess this confirms he is just there until fall camp starts.

I guess critics can no longer claim that Bronco's assistant coaches never move up to the NFL.

To be clear for all those not reading the entire thread--Atuaia is still BYU's RB coach. He is just visiting/interning with Andy Reid and the Chiefs until Fall Camp starts up at BYU. He has not moved on, and is not an NFL coach. Still not sure if Vai will be pleased or angered by this development.

But Bronco did have an assistant coach go to the NFL, even if it's temporary.

Yep. And Tyler Haws played in the NBA.

We can finally put to bed that ridiculous claim by Bronco haters that no one from the BYU ever plays in the NBA.

I asked Travis Tuiloma and he said nobody knows about this. Oops, I may have misinterpreted Mark's FB status. :lol:

If you are insinuating that I am a Bronco hater, you are totally wrong and missing the point.

I am actually calling out the Bronco apologists suggesting that if this MA occurrence is your evidence that Bronco mentors coaches into the NFL ranks, you do Bronco a great disservice and are not much better than the "Bronco " haters" you allege exist.

At best MA is getting some mentoring and ideas from the KC coaching staff and Andy--which while awesome is not more than that.

And certainly no slam on Tyler. Its awesome but not likely to lead to an NBA contract.
