Hoping to keep our assistants intact.

Sounds like a great hire for YBU. However, I think it has little to do with Weber retaining coaches. After the failure with Detmer, a solid YBU man, I don't think their coach was about to hire a family member and have them both take the heat when things didn't go well enough for the faithful. It would have been a lose, lose situation.

We may lose some coaches, but I don't think there will be wholesale changes.

ESPN's Adam Rittenburg tweeted from his @ESPNRittenberg Twitter account that he was hearing that “Weber State offensive coordinator Fesi Sitake also could join the BYU staff to coach a position group.”

If I was Fesi I would look at two things about the Y.
1. Security
2. Actual Development

I wouldn't take it, because of those two things. It's not a secure job. Yes, he would make more for a year, maybe 2, but if Kalani has another bad season, he's out and so is his staff. Yes more $$$ is nice, but security is even nicer.

Is being a position coach at BYU really a promotion? It could end up being a career killer. If the Y isn't successful, there is a great chance that he will end up being fired, once his cousin's contract isn't renewed. I don't see any reason why BYU will suddenly be better next year. He is already an OC at a DI school, in the Big Sky Conference, which, yes, is FCS, but has proven to help coaches like him advance. Being an OC at a successful Big Sky school has led past assistants to very lucrative and nice job opportunities. Look at Eastern Washington's past OC, isn't he now at the U? But, BYU is a dying independent who is too proud to join a G5 conference. Too bad for them, but they are not a P5 team. Utah has surpassed them. Fesi, with another few years as an OC at Weber, if success continues, which it will, will either be inline for the next HC gig here (I think Brent Myers is the top option right now) or at an FCS school. Or, after a few more successful seasons here he will get a far better and more secure gig at an FBS.
