Houston Reynolds on brother Dallas not yet being hired as OL coach

[byufan4ever]

If we were to look at his resume with no name on it would anyone be excited?

I will agree that he is a good candidate but I can't agree he is the best one. Knowing how to recruit and actually doing it well is a concern that is not covered by Houston. I prefer someone who is seasoned.

Lots of "coached by" this coach and that coach. I'd rather he have more coaching experience than having all that coached by experience. One seems more relevant to coaching.

His coaching experience is really this:
- One year Offensive Line at Pleasant Grove High School
- Two years Graduate Assistant at BYU

Exactly!

But that resume is still >= Pugh's.

BYU knows what they have in Dallas. BYU's out looking to see if they can do better. I have no problem with that, and neither should the Reynolds family. If BYU finds better, terrific. If not, they have a good one in Dallas.

Also a plus in my book is that he was coached by early vintage Bronco.

BYU was the 6th college Pugh coached at. It would continue to be the 1st for Reynolds.

This is ridiculous. Pugh had two years at UTSA and did pretty well. While I think Troy hiring him as OC is a reach, he was a solid OL hire. I think Reynolds would be better than the Mahe hire by a hair. LSU doesn't hire their own GAs and neither should BYU. Let Reynolds cut his teeth at somewhere like UTSA and then he can come to BYU and move on as an OC a couple years later.


BYU should be able to do much better.

Sounds entitled...

He has no college coaching experience. He's been a graduate assistant.

Go get some experience at a DII school or some other school, establish a few years of success, and then maybe you'll be a "shoe-in."

BYU can't afford a risk at OL coach. We need an established, successful OL coach.

Meh. Houston is doing for Dallas what I would do for any of my brothers. Just laying out the case. But the "I'm leaving" bit is a little too much for me.

Trying so directly to twist BYU’s arm in a public forum probably hurts Dallas Reynolds’s chances, not helps.
