It might, but it shouldn't. Whit really is a good coach, and usually does well using the whole underdog thing. Wilson looks like he should be decent. I don't know what type of players you will have to replace Star and any other players that are gone, but Utah generally has pretty good players and athletes.
BYU should be better offensively and worse defensively. Like you said, could be a toss up game. If so, I give the edge to the Utes, they seem to win the close ones most of the time.
There are two more Krugers. One from Lone Peak and one at PG I think. Sent them both packing in the playoffs this year.
Interested to see what's going to go on with BYU's coaching staff after the season. I heard Holmoe made some comments about a month ago in which he hinted at some chemistry issues with the staff that could be dealt with in the offseason. Could Doman be headed out the door?
Who knows. Might be too soon, but I'm pretty sure it was too soon to put him in as OC in the first place.
I much prefer the passing game, which probably requires coaches that know how to teach and game plan a passing game.
I don't think Doman knows enough about the passing game, and nuances to be effective.
He knows the option game and run/pass mix, but that gap in knowledge hurts in a lot of ways.
Coaches really need to be mostly teachers, and a smaller portion is game plan. Good players can cover up issues, but it would be really nice to have good/great coaching along with good/great players.
I guess we will see what happens this off season.
Here's a trick question. Who is the better QB coach, Max Hall... or Jordan Wynn?
Woot!!!That's really neat for you Conan. Congrats!
