The word on KSL is that Coach Whitt is taking Jay Hill with him to Michigan. Interesting!?!?

Honestly, that’s great! BYU and U of U fans are spoiled. BYU fans were pissing and moaning for Lavell Edwards to retire for many years before he did in spite of all he did for them. Now a lot of U fans wanted Whittingham to retire early as well.

Hill can get a good pay bump and if they do well at Michigan, be ready to take over for Whittingham when he retires. Sitake leveraged Penn State for a nice extension…so Hill wasn’t going to be able to take over anytime soon.

I bet BYU and U of U start slipping back from 10-2 records to 7-5ish as Hill was the reason behind Sitake’s latest success. When Detmer was the OC (forget who was DC) BYU struggled to beat Portland State the year Weber State hung 80 on them.

Time for karma to bite back!

Gavin Fowler is coming from BYU's staff to be the DC. He was Jay Hill's safeties coach. Played for BYU up to 2018. Coached at BYU after graduating. He is a Davis High grad.

Does anyone know if Kjar plans to be the OC as well as head coach?

I would imagine that would be best for him at least in the sort term. Could certainly help his adjustment to coaching at the collegiate level. Especially with everything that entails the head job position in today’s college football. It is truly more about being a CEO than coaching
