    We really need to open the checkbook for a proven successful P5 OC, and that might cost $1M or more.

    Maybe Kyle can show his commitment to the program and pitch in $500k of it.
    This guy is rumored to be leaving the OC gig at Okie St. to be the QB coach at Ohio St.

    I am sort of skeptical about the Rich Rod story. Sounds like the kind of thing an agent puts out to increase his leverage and bargaining power. Who knows.

    Kyle makes some interesting remarks at the end of this interview with Bill after the game (RE: the OC position): https://espn700sports.com/news/utah-...game-12-31-18/

    Bill flat out asks him how important experience/having a proven play caller is, and Kyle essentially says it is paramount. To me that disqualifies Harding, and perhaps lends some credibility to the RichRod rumor. Ultimately we'll see who he gets, but it is certainly interesting.
    “It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Maybe this means he learned something from the Brian Johnson hire?

    I agree. The only group nearly as gullible to an agent's breathless blatherings about his client than athletic directors are sportswriters. Not buying it.

    You're 100 percent certain Harding doesn't have any experience in calling plays?

    I am 100 percent certain that Kyle knows his window is closing.

    He's not going to coach forever, and he knows he's got a chance to win the league, particularly with USC bringing back Helton. We've got some talented WRs and TEs coming back next year, and a decent battle at QB (potentially). So yeah, I think he's going to look past Jim Harding and his vast play calling experience with A-Rod to see if he can get a guy in here who can run the spread with a dynamic QB and a power backs. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I certainly don't think Harding is plan a, b, c, or d.

    why would Bronco agree to this? Was he on his way out at UVA?


    John. @JohnMoretti5
    Sources: WVU and Bronco Mendenhall have agreed to a 4 year $10.5 million contract. Expect an official announcement tomorrow at Noon. #HailWV #WVU

    Look at that guys profile. He has around 100 followers and most of his tweets are gibberish. He's a troll.

    You may be on to something here. It’s easy to see how Kyle could be thinking that way. To the extent he reaches out to others for advice (like Urban) maybe they’re telling him it’s time to stretch.

    New hire #2 has been announced to fill the Linebacker coaching replacement for Justin Ena. I don't know anything about Swan but it is does have me adjusting down my OC replacement expectations.

    Some background on Swan:


  13. #43
    The dude went to Weber State on a rodeo scholarship! That is pretty cool.

    “The Jerome, Idaho, native initially came to Weber State on a rodeo scholarship, but walked on to the football team and was awarded a football scholarship the next year. He made the Big Sky Academic All-Conference team three seasons.”

    A family member of mine knows Swan. Says he a great dude and will be a great addition to the staff. I trust my family member so........ That's all I got.

    I watch more Big Sky football than I am comfortable admitting.
    Weber's defense has been really good the last couple of years.

    I wonder if Moss was influenced at all by Taylor leaving.

    Not sure about that, but some saying that there's no way he announces his return without knowing and being very excited about the new OC. :shrug:

    I heard he left because he found out who the new OC will be.

    I'm told the largest influence on Moss was the NFL evaluation that came through recently. Pretty strong report stating that he was, at best, a fourth-round draft choice.
