Is Hill top contender for DC if KW retires and Scalley is named HC?

You know what’s really dumb, someone saying “that’s a real dumb take” and that’s it.

and its that kind of weak ass mentality like yours is why Utah and its fanbase are in the losing situation they are in. if I was Jay Hill the only way I’m going back to Utah is as the head coach, nothing else!

These are fair points. But…
1) Kalani Sitake isn’t exactly a great HC. He’s been mediocre at best during his entire BYU tenure. And I’d be surprised if the age factor was that important.
2) I agree, they wouldn’t give him the $2M right away, but I bet it’d be more than the $1M he’s making at BYU. And if they really wanted him, I think they’d make it happen. I am pretty confident Utah will be willing to spend up to find a promising DC. They can’t afford to lose momentum if Whitt steps down. And aren’t they in a great place from a financial standpoint?
3) Yes, but I don’t think one year (or 6 games haha) is enough. Like I said, they had a great year in 2020. Were they the better program that all recruits, coaching staff, etc. wanted to flip to suddenly? Heck, Utah’s conference didn’t even let them play more than a few games that year. I think it takes much more than a year. You (and other people your age) might remember BYU’s glory days, but recruits these days don’t. And Utah has a lot more it can say about it’s 5 year trajectory than BYU can. I think anybody who’s been following college football closely for the last five years would hands down agree that Utah is a stronger program.

Do you know what inflation is?

Every school has a level of prestige. Didn’t you play any of the NCAA video games haha??? I didn’t say Utah is a “prestigious” school. I just said that they’re more prestigious than BYU…which I think is true at this point in time.

I am surprised that everyone on here is saying BYU has a better program than Utah. A program is built over years and decades. 6 games (or one year or two years) doesn’t do it. If BYU is better than us for the next three years, then I will start to concede that they have a better program.

You’re probably right, if BYU keeps up their success this year he could be gone before the postseason is over. I guess I was operating under my assumption Whitt would retire this year even though I have nothing to base that off of

All good coordinators and really all good assistants are flight risks. Jay Hill already left Utah after being a longtime assistant.

I agree with you that it is highly unlikely he’ll be the DC. He’ll likely be a HC soon and even if he isn’t, he’ll probably see it as a slap in the face that Scalley is the HC over him when Hill has an argument that he is the more proven better coach.

There’s no reason that Scalley should get the job over Hill under normal circumstances. You’d think that the school would want to get the best candidate for the job rather than be shackled to a specific person. This especially over such a long period of time.

Based on the lack of too flight DBs since CP3, the play of the corners and Lbs this season,
Od pass on both Shah and Swan to take over the defense.

Both groups have not lived up to the hype, especially the LBs.

Vegas is a school that was at the top of my list. If Odom ends up winning 9-11 games there this year, some school will definitely hire him away.
