If the caveat is "great" I would include Anae. I do think he's a good assistant.Gunk wrote:You're including Anae, right?Cougarbib wrote: They do not have great assistant coaches now.
Given Hill's progression this year, I'd give Beck a higher grade than Atuaia....I'm not sure why Atuaia is on staff other than he's Anae's buddy.SpiffCoug wrote:If the caveat is "great" I would include Anae.

If I were putting together an order of merit for both sides assistants, mine might look like this:
Offense:
1. Anae
2. Tugjae
3. Holliday
4. Beck
4. Atuaia
Defense:
1. Bronco
5. Poppinga
5. Howell
5. Kaufusi
5. Tidwell
Yes. I would include Anae, which is exactly what I stated with the specific adjective "great" as the qualifying adjective.SpiffCoug wrote:If the caveat is "great" I would include Anae.

Yes. Until he becomes a hot "head coaching" candidate or someone I view as the best next BYU HC, I would go with good not great. I still think he might be the best realistically available OC for BYU at this time.Gunk wrote:You're including Anae, right?Cougarbib wrote: They do not have great assistant coaches now.
I would disagree with this. The OC doesn't have to be LDS. If we are comfortable with a revolving door at that position (ie changing every 2 or 3 years because they move on to a bigger program or HC position), then there are plenty of better options.Cougarbib wrote:Yes.

What exactly was it that you disagree with. Gunk asked if my comment that we do not have GREAT assistant coaches includes Anae. He asked because I think Anae is good, solid, not GREAT. I will label him great when P5 programs start courting him or when I start viewing him as the next BYU head coach. He is good. He is not great.stuckinbig10country wrote:I would disagree with this.

Is he terrible? No. Do I wish we had someone better? Yeah. But I really wish we had our QB back because we were really good when we had him.
But this is exactly part of the problem. The All hail Taysom Hill approach got him injured and for the most part tanked this team. It was UNSUSTAINABLE--period!! His speed and agility should have been used to help him escape with the means of finding a receiver downfield. Anae's version of Run Taysom, Run killed the guy which then killed the system. How long is it going to take Anae and THill to figure out that if your run you die??stuckinbig10country wrote:I would disagree with this. The OC doesn't have to be LDS.
