up with ky Kevin Young Dotinson, b YU Balled is
BYU Bass Basketball team is Ballin Shot Colin. Their resume
is impressive, thus far, one of the best resumes in
college basketball. They moved up in the eight pe Pole,
which is grand, which is wavelous, which is wonderful. Right,
they are a top ten team in the country. As
far as their net ranking is concerned. Where do they
stand in the net raking They are number nine, okay,
so nice work thus far. And then also from a
quad standpoint, they have four quad one wins.
Speaker 6: They have one loss on a neutral court versus Yukon.
Speaker 4: They have two quad two wins Wisconsin and Dayton those
are both on neutral sites. And then they have two
quad three wins California Baptists and Pacific and then five
quad four wins Holy Cross, Delaware.
Speaker 6: You see riverside.
Speaker 4: Ablein Christian and Eastern Washington. So nice work from the
BYU Cougars led by Ajavonsa, Richie Saunders and Rob Right
the third. They are the leading scorer trio in college basketball.
Aja Bota the leading score in college basketball. A couple
things here before we get into it, though, Ronnie, you're
an NFL guy. We have a little Cougars in the
pros news. Kyle van Noy right is a part of
the Baltimore Ravens. Yes, and uh, there's some bad news
brewing in Baltimore.
Speaker 7: Bad news indeed, Calvin O will no longer be coached
by his former coach John Harball Because Ben, it hit
my phone. I told you during the break, I am
as baffled as anybody. He is out and has been
fired as the Ravens head coach, which is crazy. The
man that you know brought a Super Bowl and Reid
ray Lew. I mean you think it's where el sucks.
You just take the history and he is no longer
in Baltimore.
Speaker 8: That is crazy.
Speaker 4: Ben sad news. An era is done, An era is finished.
Where will Harbaugh go?
Speaker 6: What will he do?
Speaker 4: Will he get another opportunity to be the head coach
head coach in the NFL? Will he turned to coordinating?
Is that what he wants to do? Can you get
him to college? Where's his affiliation? He went to Miami
of Ohio. He was a defensive back. Throughout his coaching career,
He's coached running backs, outside linebackers at Western Michigan. He
was at pitt as a tight ends coach. He was
at morehead State special teams coach and secondary coach, went
to Cincinnati as a special teams coordinator.
Speaker 6: By the way, he's at Indiana nineteen.
Speaker 4: Ninety seven special teams coordinator defensive backs.
Speaker 6: Then he moved up to the.
Speaker 4: Big leagues Philadelphia Eagles special teams coordinator ninety eight to
two thousand and six, Then got the defensive back coach
for the Philadelphia Eagles in two thousand and seven. After that,
became the head coach for the Baltimore Ravens from two
thousand and eight to twoenty twenty five.
Speaker 6: Pretty impressive.
Speaker 4: His head coaching career one hundred and eighty wins, one
hundred and thirteen losss. That's a sixty one percent winning
percentage postseason. He's thirteen and eleven. Uh and uh man.
Just a heck of a coach. Where will he end
up do you think Ronald the three man weaver sticking
in the NFL? Will he be a head coach, will
be a coordinator? Or is he taking his challenge back
to the college football game.
Speaker 7: I would love to sixty three years of age, by
the way, I would still young, still has plenty of
time and a lot left in the chamber.
Speaker 8: I would love to see him in college Ben.
Speaker 7: Honestly, I'd love to see how he can do because
I feel like, you know, he also gives that vibe
of you know, like the Dion Calania builder of men.
But he's been in the NFL for so long that's tough.
I think he stays in the NFL, and look, there
are a lot of vacance, vacant jobs open, you know,
the Atlanta Falcons, Tennessee Titans are looking for head coaches.
So I think he stays in the NFL. But I
would love to see him in college. Ben love to
see him at one of these premier universities. But I
think the NFL as well, he'll be residing at He'll
interview for coaches jobs, but if not, he'll definitely be
a coordinator. He's one of the greatest and it's definitely
a Hall of Fame coach, no doubt. So the Hardballs
I think will stay in the NFL as it could,
but we could be wrong. He could be like his
brother Jim and come to college and win a national championship.
We'd love to see him at Kirk Sinnetti in a
national championship coaching, Ben, That's kind of my dream, I
guess for twenty twenty seven to see see Kirksinetti and
John Harball coaching.
Speaker 8: I would love to see that.
Speaker 4: Bau Cougar is in the NFL playoffs right now, Pooking
Tokup with the La Rams, Brady Chrissen with the Carolina Panthers.
I think he's coming off an injury though, Saint Anderson
with the Green Bay Packers, Chris Brooks, Green Bay Packers,
Kyris Toga with the New England Patriots. Jacob Robinson he's
rehapping from an injury with the San Francisco.
Speaker 6: Forty nine Ers and Fred Warner Sampsons for forty nine Ers.
A lot of injuries.
Speaker 4: They're not the healthiest crew from BYU in the playoffs,
but we wish everyone well in the playoffs from BYU.
All Right, we want to get into some sound this
bou men's basketball team doing great things. Fallin' shot, Colin.
We're gonna play this in its entirety. This is Ky
addressing the media.
Speaker 9: Hello, what part of the defensive game plan did Like
when you force a three for twenty one three point
shooting right from a good three point shooting.
Speaker 6: Team, What do you think it works well with your
defense to do that.
Speaker 5: I think it's just a mindset from a sense of
urgency standpoint, particularly in transition.
Speaker 2: I thought we did a good job there and then.
Speaker 5: I just think it was it was starts with a
sense of urgency, but then it also goes into the scheme.
You know, we were, you know, we were trying to
do the best we could to show Haggardy at crowd,
but not at the expense of giving up threes. And
I think that's probably where it reared its head the most.
And now it allowed Haggarty to get get off a
little bit more than probably we would have liked. But
you know, they couldn't they couldn't beat it hit enough
twos to beat us, and that's.
Speaker 2: Kind of where where it's really it reared its head.
Speaker 5: But you know, even though they went three of twenty three,
I mean, the one guy we keyed on in the
most was the guy that got three of them, made
the three shots and then also got eight of them off.
Speaker 2: So you know, would have like to see us do
a little bit better job on but year. But nonetheless
it was a big part of the win.
Speaker 9: And then Mohilo had a pretty nice night for you guys,
offensively and defensively. Can you expect that from kind of
performance from me? Is that what you expect from him?
Speaker 2: I mean, I hope, So, I mean that's his key
to being on the floor.
Speaker 5: I think he I think mistakenly defines his success on
shot making. I define a success as ball ball moving
and you know, good defense. You know, he's one of
our smartest defensive players. Uh, he's he's big. He makes
us bigger because when he's playing the four, now AJ
is kind of the three, and and we're just big
and I think we can rebound. I think our length
causes problems. I think think I think you saw that
when he was out there. And then in terms of
his shot making, it's like, look, when he takes feet
set open threes, he's a really good shooter, and that's
an area we trust him on. And so it's just
been a sort of a battle of him, you know,
playing within you know himself, within that kind of world.
I just laid out when he does that, he's been
really good for us. But at the same time, the
other thing I'll say is the reason I went with him,
particularly in that game, is, you know, first conference road game.
Speaker 2: He's a guy.
Speaker 5: Trust he's helped us win games before in this league.
It's particularly on the road as well. And you know,
I think it was good for some of the young
guys to see, you know, how how locked in he
was on the game plan and.
Speaker 2: As a good example for the young guys.
Speaker 4: So my little bucket Vic when he came to BYU
from his overseas playing days, like, his highlights were extremely impressive. Yeah,
he was a good shooter, but the thing that I
was actually some pressed with was his ability to get,
you know, just from kind of rim to rim and
be a shot contender in transition and also in the
half court sets six' ten with good.
Speaker 6: Length, okay and last, year.
Speaker 4: You, know his junior season appeared in what thirty games
off the, bench averaging eleven minutes per, contest three point
six points per, game one point seven, rebounds point four,
sis point three steals per, game shot thirty eight percent
for the, field twenty six point eight percent from, three
not what you, wanted but eighty one point five percent
from the free throw.
Speaker 6: Line but he.
Speaker 4: Saw you could see the, spark the potential that it's
something that he could.
Speaker 6: Become. Right this year has been.
Speaker 4: Similar, right it's you're kind of left wanting more From.
Mahilo you see the, potential you see the, ability but
we haven't seen enough to make us believe That mahilo
can be a consistent player FOR, byu a consistent rotational,
guy even though you know that he could be if
he's gains the, confidence if he gets into a, groove
if he starts to have that. Swagger had his best
performance of the year on the road Versus Kansas.
Speaker 6: State nine.
Speaker 4: Points he did foul, Out he had five personal, fouts three,
rebounds one. Assist he was perfect from the charity, stride
shot two of three from the three point line and
was three or five from the field seventeen minutes of.
Play we've been seeing a little bit up ticking minutes
early on in the. Season you, know he had twelve,
sixteen thirteen, sixteen and then there's been a little bit
of a drop.
Speaker 6: Off, right there's been a drop off as we're trying
to figure out our.
Speaker 4: Rotation are we about to see the high low go?
Off is he gonna be consistent going? Forward are we
still in wait and see? Mode ronald of three Man.
Speaker 7: WEAVER i think it's starting to, low BUT i still
think we're, Waiting, Ben but, look when do you want
to be playing your best? Basketball we talked about it
all the, time talked about it last. Year If mohilo
is starting to peak right, Now, ben then this is.
Perfect this is the perfect time to do. It, yeah
you didn't get your footing in non, conference but if
you can separate Himself ben as a guy that can
because when they want to go small, Ball, ben and
for those who don't know what small ball, is it's
really where you're going five out wide and you're Allowing
richie And rob to get DOWNHILL aj and then go.
Distribute so when they Put mohillow at the, five if
they get matched up with the team in the, tournament
or if they want to go small on a bigger
team and make them pay with, threes this is the
perfect time For ohio get into transition of getting his
feet sound the way he needs to because you're gonna
seehim at the five at. Times remember the game Against,
wisconsin play minutes stretching the, Floor like you Heard Kevin yung,
say he's playing at the, four, right and you kind
of HAVE aj to three and when they're big and
when they're, long and that's bigger, teams so he's gonna
need to hit. Shots SO i think the head is
starting to, Turn but, really what's going to define?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 7: Ben For mohilo's these next two, weeks they play Against
Arizona state. Tomorrow as we, know we'll talk to a
guy From Arizona state here momentarily in the next.
Speaker 8: Hour but the game all.
Speaker 7: Wins the Game tomorrow's gonna tell us a lot the
rivalry game Against utah and then next Week, ben you,
know they have two tough. Opponents they play At Texas
tech And. Lubbock that's gonna be a big game.
Speaker 8: That you have to.
Speaker 7: Get you, Know grahm mccowson is a good. Coach and
then you play in a night game AGAINST tcu who's
looking for. Blood so If mohilokan played the next two
weeks been the way he has, been if he's able
to get in at nine to twelve point, range he's
going to be one of those eight guys to make an.
Impact AND i think at that point you can say
you trust. Them SO i think it's starting to turn its,
head but not can't be declared of just.
Speaker 8: Yet on if he's that, Guy let's.
Speaker 4: Get back to the Sound Kevin young talking ball with
THE byu.
Speaker 2: MEDIA i will Go sam and Then Jay hey.
Speaker 10: Coach last year we talked about your first experience With
Alex jensen some of your time that you spend in
THE Tv league and how you've had a spender. Action
can you just talk about how small THE da coaching
circle really is and what have you learned from your
for coaching days that it just helps in your college.
Speaker 5: Career, YEAH i mean basketball is a very small, world
particularly in THE, nba right because THERE'S i think a
lot of times once you get in THE, nba most
people stay in there and so it becomes a pretty
uh what happens is you end up knowing a lot
of the same people for years on. End you, know
a lot of my best friends are PEOPLE i grew
up with in THE, nba and it is a small
circle because of. That in terms Of, alex, YEAH i
met him early days when we WERE i was a
G le head. Coach he had just got hired By
cleveland to be The cavs G le head, coach and you,
know coached against each other in that league and then
coached against each other obviously his assistance with us during
his time with The jazz particularly and Then dallas a little.
Speaker 2: Bit but.
Speaker 5: You, know for, me WHAT i learned that helped me
from the pro game to the college. GAME i, THINK
i think there's a lot of, things but there's a
lot of things that are. DIFFERENT i think reference points
it's probably the number one. Thing and WHAT i mean
by that, is you, know in the in THE nba,
world you're putting together anywhere from eighty two to one
hundred or more game plans per, season and so you
feel like you, see you've seen a. Lot there's a
lot of. Dialer, okay, WELL i remember Against, kyrie we
had to do. This Against Anthony, davis we had to do.
That Against luca we had to do, this And giannis
And joker and so and and. So you have a
lot of things that you can kind of go back,
to and that's that's probably What i've USED i think
here probably more than anything from a scheme. Standpoint but
then in just like a program, building big picture, STANDPOINT i,
think just how to how to be, organized you, know
how to how to put together a you, know a
systematic way of doing things on both sides of the, ball,
uh you. Know and that's a real testament to the head,
coaches Particularly Brett, brown actually all Three Brett, BROWN Mani,
williams And Frank, volga all three guys THAT i worked.
FOR i thought were had really good strengths in those
areas in terms of systematic organization on either side of the.
Speaker 11: Ball and then last question for, ME i don't know
want to jump ahead over this next, game BUT i,
mean you Have utah living this next.
Speaker 2: WEEK a lot of.
Speaker 11: Players on this team don't have one of ties to
the state Of utah and don't have a ton of
ties in this. Rivalry so so what you kind of
some of the out of state guys know about this
rivalry and how you guys are bearing it with some
of the guys that don't really know about.
Speaker 5: It, YEAH i, Mean, sam to be honest with, YOU
i haven't even thought About. UTAH i was extremely locked
in On Arizona state and trying to make sure we're
dialed for. Them they're a good, team much better than
they were last. Year but Because alex And Wes, wilcox
WHO i also know well you know At, Utah i've followed,
Them i've watched.
Speaker 2: A few of their.
Speaker 5: Games so when the time's, right we'll prepare our guys
for that. Moment but at the right, now we're focused
solely On Arizona.
Speaker 2: State how About, jay Then Mitche.
Speaker 12: KEVIN a lot of people talk ABOUT aj being able
to score at three different. Levels how common is that
you've been in THE? Nba is that rare or would you, say,
oh half THE nba can do? That just what are
we looking at as far as that?
Speaker 5: GOES i, THINK i, mean the best players in the
league can do, that, Right and there's only so many
quote unquote best players, right All star, caliber first team type,
caliber twenty point a night type caliber.
Speaker 2: Guys so, NO i don't think it's super.
Speaker 5: Common when you tack on the fact he's six' nine
with the seven to one wingspan and can score at
quote unquote all, three levels that makes it. MORE impressive
i THINK what i would add To that jay is
his ability to make decisions at all, three levels not
just score.
Speaker 2: The BALL and i think his passing is.
Speaker 5: Vastly underrated, you know he can hurt you in a
lot of, different ways and SO the i think the
combination of where he, can score how he, can score
and how he can just.
Speaker 2: PLAY make i think is what's really what's the most rare?
About him.
Speaker 4: That playmaking ronald the three. Man weaver what stands out
to you ABOUT that.
Speaker 7: Aj, Is look I'M not i want to take, You
Know kevin youngins said it ALREADY and i don't want
people Listening think i'm, Saying this but the playmaking ability
is the likes Of A lebron it's the like Of
A penny hardaway and with that ability to Score like.
Tracy McGrady because he can, do that it makes it.
So dynamic and you really didn't see it In The
kansas state game too much because of the pressure they,
were providing but you've seen it all. The season and
that's the thing because there's so much attention to DETAIL
to aj when he has the Ability to and it
was a little bit where he was posting up and
they were bringing to and he would. Just go he
would Go, quickly ben the ball would get going to,
the post go right back Out to rob and make
a Decision or Richie and knar and let. Them facilitate
and that's the attention that. He draws so it's not
even sometimes necessarily when he play makes in. His passing
it's the ability to draw the double team and then
to put the ball back of the top of the
keen and reset and let someone else go facilitat and create.
A shot that's how that's how awesome. He is and
then he, beats you he's you're at his mercy been
when he gets you into that little fifteen, to twenty
when he's backing, you down he's. Boom booming he rises
to the middle of, the floor because that's the thing
that the scout report is gonna be In nj don't
let him get to the middle of. The floor if
you don't bring a double and you play on one
on one and he beats you with, that size, that
length that ability to go over You Like kevin durant
and knock, it down that's where he's the. Most dangerous
so it's a guy that ALREADY has nba. Level, abilities,
LIKE honestly i think when this guy's at his peak
IN The, nba primeja this dude's gonna be averaging somewhere
between twenty seven twenty eight points A game a he's
gonna BE grabbing, i think, you know eight rebounds and
he's gonna be dishing out about. Seven assists so almost
Like that lebron ask of a. Triple double it's it's
gonna be phenomenal to watch this kid the rest of
YOUR at. Byu playmake but when he gets TO the
nba and the. Next, Level ben he's gonna be an
all time break for years to come with with how
great he is with.
Speaker 6: The basketball let's get back.
Speaker 4: To it ky head Coach p yu were addressing the media.
Speaker 12: And then going back to The, GAME saturday A couple
i think three guys played thirty five minutes or MORE
and aj had a little foul trouble but played.
Speaker 8: Thirty two are you?
Speaker 2: Is that is that what you want to see?
Speaker 12: Moving forward or is that optimal or kind of where
you at as far as your rotations and getting other.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 5: IN yeah, i mean, You know i've studied a lot
of what just sort of landscape of college basketball looks
like as it relates, to rotations minutes and stuff. LIKE
that i Think what, i've seen which, you know last
year was obviously a lot different, for us but you
know a lot of teams will play seven eight guys and.
Speaker 2: That's IT do i want to live solely in? That world.
Speaker 5: NOT really i think there's, You know hadeem's a guy
who's a big twelve.
Speaker 2: Level player he's.
Speaker 5: Helped us obviously the Addition of beato kind of Slides
to deem more to a four. Or three and it
also slides my high low over a, little bit which
which in a lot of ways is good because it makes.
Speaker 2: Us Big so adeem's a guy want to get more into.
Speaker 5: The mix, You know Tyler and alexei are guys who've
proven they can make shots. For US so i think
having the ability to on a given night go with
certain things that are gonna help you win that particular game.
Interest me but at the, same time look our our
our our main guys are going to play the majority of,
the minutes and that's, you, know metrically when you look
at kind of our starting five five, man lineup combination
data is. Pretty impressive and it's hard to take those
guys up the floor because they play.
Speaker 2: Well together and they're they're they're.
Speaker 5: Really talented but at the, same time we do want
to grow other guys on. Our TEAM and i Thought
what mahilo did was extremely impressive because his role has
been a little spotty and for him to, you know
we have what we call kind of a stay ready
group and AND and i think IT'S really I.
Speaker 2: REFERENCED treck I Mean.
Speaker 5: Trey stewart, last year, you know was completely out of
the rotation he was part of that stay ready group
and he's he's he earned his way onto.
Speaker 2: The floor and so that's what some of those guys
are going to have.
Speaker 5: To do and they get it done, in practice and
then they get it done when then their number gets
called in, the game you got to come in. And
produce so it's a it's a, fluid SITUATION but i,
think more definitely more than. Last year we're gonna ride our,
main guys but other guys got to be ready and
be ready to come in and get things done with.
Speaker 4: Their numbers, called, rotation, rotation rotation we're always talking. About
it it was expanded last year when you thought that
it could. Be restricted now you're looking at more of
a restriction than maybe.
Speaker 6: An expansion tell me what.
Speaker 8: You see definitely a.
Speaker 7: More restriction brendan always bringing, the hammer who was here
in the. First hour HIM and i discuss that when
we were At The redman's, farm event being that we
did when We Interviewed kevin young actually and, HE said
i don't think by design we went to go out
and get eleven or twelve, guys deep and now we'll
see what the rotation. Looks like but if it becomes.
That GREAT but i would, like to, you know have
my eight or eight GUYS that i would like. To
play so those are, his words. Not mine so the
rotation is going to. Be restricted last year he said
there was A trace steward who earned his minutes and
What mag but you heard from the. Man himself it
came out of the. Horse's mouth is he's gonna ride.
Those guys you're gonna See aj you're Gonna, See rob
you're Gonna, See richie you're Gonna, See canari you're gonna
See k you're gonna See b.
Speaker 8: Doo playing you're Gonna see.
Speaker 7: Mohilo plan those are gonna be the seven, guys now
depending on how the, game goes, you know you're also
gonna throw in the mix Of can alexi come in
depending on. The, matchup right it sounds like these are
gonna Be matchups ben who can. Make Shots tyler moruss,
CAME in i think for a little bit In That kansas.
State game that's what it's gonna come, down to is that.
Type ability and he said he wants To play. Hadien
more he wants To play. Hadiem more so that's the
eighth guy that's gonna be the guy that's gonna be
coming in and playing a little bit more that is
gonna hit the rotation now where they could put him
at the four and even, bump him you hurt him
down to a three because they want to, go big
they want to clock.
Speaker 8: It up when you Look, at houston What did? Houston do,
They're big they're long.
Speaker 7: And athletic they literally have guys that are stretched four
and fives playing three through Five. In garden that's what
they want. To do That's What kevin young wants. To
do that's what the rotation is. Gonna be so you
expect those seven guys that play along with that eighth
and then the ninth to tenth guy that can crack
into the rotation depending on what the matchup Is is
tyler and it's going to be election depending on it
and how they want to space. The FLOOR but i
honestly think you could Potentially see tyler In A tree
stewart type role towards the end of, the Season where
tyler has earned his minutes on the defensive side and.
Making shots when you start to get shots, To fall
ben along With the mahilo on, your defense start to.
Speaker 8: Picks Up kevin young's gonna. Like that HE'S an.
Speaker 7: Nba guy you're making, a three you're playing that three
and d roll and you're Playing, get well why do
You Think trey stewart? Got minutes remember when he was
with the previous, coaching staff shot. Was, terrible well because
he could lock up guys and take him out of,
the game ben and cool, him down and he could
hit a three here.
Speaker 8: And there he earned.
Speaker 7: His SPOTS so I think tyler is. That guy will see.
What happens but that's the rotation? Right now is those
seven And then hadim will be in. That mix, all
right let's finish up the rest of. The sound and
This Is, kevin young head coach of boy. Basketball talking He.
Speaker 6: Is cougars, then.
Speaker 1: Finally because he's the.
Speaker 12: LOCAL guy a lot.
Speaker 8: Of people ask Me About.
Speaker 12: Brody koslowski they had the first injury report and he
was on it?
Speaker 2: Is out can you update?
Speaker 12: His status and will we see him on the court?
Speaker 5: THIS year, i mean he's the injury is more severe
than than, anybody thought and so, you Know we're i'm
kind of going on what the what the doctors are
telling me to do and, So forth, BUT no.
Speaker 2: I don't i don't think we're Gonna see brody. Anytime soon.
Speaker 6: So We Have.
Speaker 4: Dawson, baker right that was a that was a. Big
loss did not, Like That nate pikett's. Big loss brody caused.
Lous scheme we never got to really. See him sounds
like he's the third season.
Speaker 6: Ending injury your reaction to, The news ronald the three.
Speaker 7: Man, weaver look YOU need dap at all levels and this, is.
TOUGH right i wanted To see brody crack. THE rotation
i thought he was gonna get the opportunity to be
able to. To do so that's not. The case it's
An unfortunate you hate to see you guys go out due,
to injury especially a player like this who was a top,
hundred player like he can shoot, the ball bend at
a very, high level he can score at a very.
Speaker 8: High Level and i'm not going to be able. To
play and this is per the bou.
Speaker 7: Game Notes so i'm not doing Anything that i've, been
told not any, source reporting but this is on the game,
notes itself on. His profile if you go the game
notes that we get that you have Access To, brodi
koslowski it says twenty, twenty five twenty six will red
shirt due to season. Ending injury so there. You go
that is ON the byu. Game notes so that is
Per by it is. Out there he will. Not Play
As kevin young, mentioned there that is the reason he

Speaker 6: The valley make sure you got the right tires on your.
Speaker 4: Vehicles TODAY so i, feel like you know We're getting
we're inching closer obviously towards filling these. COACHING vacancies i
think there's a bit of a. Brewing interest we feel
like there's gonna be an. Internal hire ultimately announced it
in regards TO the, dc job your cornerbacks and safeties
jobs is somewhat up, for grabs looking at external hires
and maybe some internal hires. AS well i had put out,
a list a robust and expansive list of. Cornerback coaches
i've also put out my expansive list of defensive coordinators
that could be INTERESTED. In byu. Continuity chemistry culture is
at the HEART of i believe this, off, season okay
at the Heart of kialane culture. Going forward if it's
not broke don't try to. Fix it if you can
retain much of what, you've gained why wouldn't you.
Speaker 6: DO that i.
Speaker 4: Think the potential internal hiring OF a dc.
Speaker 6: HAD some byu.
Speaker 4: Fans teeter tottering on how they like, it right how
they feel, about it whether or not they're bought into
that they want IN the p, four era now they
want the tried. And true they want, fully vetted. Fully qualified,
you know no insens much. About it the resume has
to be just jump off. The page, it's, like hey
this is, the guy this is, the place this is.
Speaker 8: The Guy Like.
Speaker 4: Jay hill obviously a good Coach, at weber fantastic, head
coach and he did, oversee okay the defense remember those final.
Speaker 6: Two years gary was a part of that staff.
Speaker 4: AS well i wouldn't necessarily say like, he was, YOU
know I mean byu was a great opportunity.
Speaker 6: For him did he have other opportunities to? GO elsewhere
byu gave him.
Speaker 4: THE platform byu gave him the opportunity to really showcase
his abilities AS a dc and as an assistant.
Speaker 6: Head coach but it wasn't like he was like.
Speaker 4: Completely infallible in his resume as a defensive coordinator AT the.
Speaker 6: Fcs level there. Was optimism you knew he knew.
Speaker 4: The state he was a solid recruiter in, the state
he had, ties here he had done Well Under.
Speaker 6: Kyle whittingham but.
Speaker 4: It, wasn't, like oh this is this is a home
run higher that you know you were going INTO the p.
Four RANKS so i Guess what i'm getting at here
is If b yu Hires, k pop what will the
consensus be, amongst kugarnation amongst the. Donor, base okay, right
now what do you think the reaction's. Gonna be it'll
be fifty to, fifty pro fifty to fifty, you know
four or and then fifty. Percent Negative here ronald Of Three,
man weaver how do you think it's.
Speaker 6: Going to be split positive to negative and maybe there's
some neutral in.
Speaker 7: There, TOO yeah I think i think it's gonna be
fifty to fifty across the BOARD of i think you're gonna, see,
positive negative and neutral around the.
Speaker 8: SAME thing i think they're gonna be PEOPLE if.
Speaker 7: I really don't have an opinion, About, it, Okay, COOL
yeah i, mean yeah resumes speaks to. Forward itself he Was. With,
bronco okay he's a defensive. Minding, guy okay let's see how.
He does will be maybe more, neutro optimistic but you're
gonna have that set of the fan base Beginning been
we talked, about this what probably two, months ago that
there's part of the fan base that probably is getting
towards in the future of need to get to the college,
football playoffs haven't won a game. National championship that's gonna
start to act that way of where's the home, run
higher where's the guy that you're bringing in that's the,
big name, you know where's that type of person that you're.
Bringing in you Lose, j Hill THE michigan dc bring.
Him in he doesn't need to be a member of,
the church would be. A coordinator that's probably that fan
base that's not gonna, like it that's gonna be like,
anti that AND when i, mean anti they just want,
someone different not maybe NECESSARILY anti. K pop and then
they're gonna be those and then, be, LIKE oh i,
love this this. Is great i'm a big Fan. Of
kelly he. Did this it's gonna know all. Of it
so it's GONNA be i think split across. The board
if this were to be ANNOUNCED and. I, think look
at the end of, THE day i, think internally and we've.
HEARD this i Talked To john beck, last week Been
On New, year's Eve and, john said it's always better
to look internally and higher because that way you don't
have to bring in a, new scheme.
Speaker 8: A, new verbiage, new culture all. Of that it's.
Speaker 7: Already there it's, already established and it stays within the
program and. It's Easier so i'm gonna Side with john.
On that so if they go internally, WITH this i
think that's the. Best decision not saying that the external
candidates wouldn't do a, Great, job ben but the foundation
and what tends to make me think it is internal
is all these players. Coming back that's what tends to
make me think that this is an internal higher coming
and also general leaving To follow jay to make me
think that this is internally and this Could.
Speaker 6: Be, KELLY yeah i put it.
Speaker 4: OUT there, i said do you want an internal or
external defensive coordinator or? Higher kugrenation what are the pros
and cons? Of ball so chime in. On that want
to hear from you in, That regard how do you
feel About To mario warren becoming the next cornerbacks COACH.
Of byu he's, Been listed he's been labeled as the
guy that could do WELL. At Byu, tomario warren who
is he and why would he COME?
Speaker 6: To Byu so demorrio played his.
Speaker 4: Co well he Grew up okay grew Up, In, fairfield
CALIFORNIA and i believe he was a. Running back ended
up getting RECRUITED. TO U c davis played there from
two thousand and five to two thousand.
Speaker 6: And seven as a.
Speaker 4: Running back after his, playing career was hired as a
defensive back COACH at Suu Under. Ed Lamb if i'm, Not,
mistaken Okay So, ed LAMB former byu, football PLAYER former,
byu Coach Remember ed lamb was was at after his
high or, excuse me his college career at ENDS. At
byu he ends up coaching d Line. At redlands he
WAS the Dc at redlands from ninety eight to. Two
thousand BECAME a GA at ba in two thousand, and
one Went to idaho as the defensive coordinator in two
thousand and two two thousand, and three became the special
teams and defensive back coach at five to Seven At
san DIEGO uh uh And then Finally After, san Diaeg after,
HARBAUGH left i Believe. To stanford he got the head
coaching Job At southern utah in two thousand.
Speaker 6: And eight so the CONNECTION between.
Speaker 4: Byu and maybe a bit of the State, of UTAH the, lds,
faith okay Is Through. Ed lamb and we'll find, Out
more i'm sure as we get into. His resume but
he went on to become the defensive back Coach At
southern utah from two thousand and eight to. Twenty thirteen
so that's a pretty, long.
Speaker 6: Time right, He's, like okay you've Been In.
Speaker 4: Cedar city have you Been To cedar City before ronald
the Three?
Speaker 6: MAN weaver i.
Speaker 8: Have been i've Been To. Cedar city i've been down
Towards The saint GEORGE area I, HAVE.
Speaker 6: Okay i mean. IT'S growing I Love.
Speaker 8: Cedar city it, is growing.
Speaker 6: It's, POPPING okay i like going.
Speaker 4: DOWN there i, don't know you know how many People
from cali want to Move To cedar, City, though okay just.
Grew up, you like it's, a nice. Quiet town it's a.
Great place so in, twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen he became
the defensive COORDINATOR for.
Speaker 6: SUU and suu football in those.
Speaker 4: TWO years i want, To, say okay we're, pretty gods
STAY good esuu football has not been a powerhouse by,
any means but in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 6: They were they they got into.
Speaker 4: The playoffs they've only been to the playoffs, three times okay.
Speaker 6: Three times they were owing three in.
Speaker 4: Those games they made it in the first round, twenty thirteen,
twenty fifteen and then.
Speaker 6: Twenty seventeen the, Year Following Ed lamb, Okay left.
Speaker 4: Okay left twenty sixteen is when ed after the twenty,
Fifteen Season ed lamb came UP to byu to be
the assistant coach and kind of special teams coordinator and
oversee probably the defense. As well with The lycens buyaki
And And tomorrio warren ended up becoming the head COACH
for suu in twenty sixteen to twenty. Twenty ONE and
suu was, pretty good, you know, twenty sixteen twenty seventeen
in those initial, few years but then they dropped, off.
Speaker 6: Right struggled a. Little, bit okay things didn't go.
Speaker 4: So Well tomorrio warren as the head coach went twenty
one to forty two in.
Speaker 6: Those years but check. This out you KNOW what.
Speaker 4: I mean he's he was in s he WAS at
su for the most of.
Speaker 6: His career he ends up.
Speaker 4: Getting hired would You Consider boise state one of the
best college football programs in, college football especially AT the
G five g six level over the last, you know almost.
Thirty years would you how would? You consider how would?
You late how would?
Speaker 6: You rate one?
Speaker 7: Hundred percent is the top twenty? Five program no doubt
been one. HUNDRED percent i mean they were in the
college football playoffs. Last, year look they had a top
ten pick IN the. Nfl draft would you consider a
lottery pick IN? The nfl so the have. Top, pick
yeah it's a one of the. Premier programs definitely long
up there with the likes Of two lane. Up there,
So Yeah boise state is a top twenty.
Speaker 4: Five program he gets a Job At boise state in twenty. Twenty,
two okay twenty. Twenty, two uh he's hired as the
cornerback coach okay For The Boise.
Speaker 6: State broncos pretty good team ten.
Speaker 4: And Four andy avolos is the one that hired him
in his second, season okay as the head coach For
The Boise, state broncos and he's been. There, Since Okay
boise state has gone through, some turmoils some changes on their, coaching,
staff right wouldn't you.
Speaker 6: Say they've had?
Speaker 1: Some?
Speaker 6: Turnover right andy left was essentially let go AND like,
i said did some.
Speaker 4: Good things But Then spencer danielson took over in twenty.
Twenty four when you, are retained when you're retained and
you're elevated in, YOUR role i think that says something,
about you says you got your head.
Speaker 1: On.
Speaker 4: Straight right so cornerbacks coach twenty, twenty two twenty, three
years the, quarterbacks coaching special, teams coordinator and was retained
over the last two Years Under. Spencer, danielson okay the
new head coach over the last couple.
Speaker 6: Of years so what's crazy to Me About.
Speaker 4: Tomrio warren he's forty years old and he's been coaching
for a little, less than, you know twenty. Years now
just the's a hair under twenty years what by eighteen?
Years now he has coached at only two places in.
His career that is a bit of. An anomaly ronald
the Three, Man weaver what does that Say About?
Speaker 6: Tomorio warren he's only coached at.
Speaker 4: TWO places a lot of coaches are bouncing around there.
Speaker 6: Are there, you know it's kind of interesting.
Speaker 7: To, me look it's a Guy, THAT look, i mean
it shows that the career trajectory of where he could
be is, showing stability being and climbing where, he's at
and that he succeeds at each level of where he
lifts to where.
Speaker 8: He STANDS and i mean that's a.
Speaker 7: Big THING and i go back to that of he's
got a proven track record on the defense side of.
THE ball i know he was down there at YOU,
know suu but AT the fcs level he led the
nation in. Turnover margin you know who else coach of
somebody that was on a staff that led the nation
in turnover margin a couple.
Speaker 8: Of years that.
Speaker 7: Would Be Tomorrow Warren general guildford who was On j.
Hill's staff so, this guy, you know has the player.
DEVELOPMENT skills, i mean we need to go back and
look At The boise state defensive guys that are IN
the nfl and.
Speaker 4: The cornerbacks so he said he developed as a coach
onred percent is a part, Of that like, you know
all that staff and not not not all, Of it
But what i'm saying is that who helped it part,
of it like when you got when this guy led
the nation be in, his defense didn't AT the.
Speaker 7: FCS level i want to Make sure i'm specifying that in,
turnover margin in The big, sky SCORE like i just
think all of. Those things when that that has to
be taken into account Of At boise state and he hasn't,
moved on they want to. Retain him they've done a very.
GOOD job i think that plays. A factor and YOU
and i looked. AT it i think it was like
two years ago he put a handful of guys in,
the league you know because of that has, you know
guys that have, moved on YOU know. Nfl, prospects, so
look this is A guy i think That at byu brought. Into,
it look there is some risk because he hasn't done
it AT the, fbs level this. Is high but THE
trajectory i think is there no doubt. ABOUT it i
really think that this is. A guy if you bring,
in young like, we said young meets A Demographic african
american From the, east Coast not east coast to, west
coast that can speak to that because this is what
you're gonna need in order to get people to commit
and play AT b yu at the. Cornerback level he
is the guy, that's AVAILABLE and I think byu go get.
Speaker 4: Him one of the, you know let's let's balance. It
out a lot of, positivity Here which i'm a big.
FAN of i think it would be a. Good hire
it could maybe be a, great hire could be a.
Great hire he didn't? Play cornerback did? He?
Speaker 6: Not it, You?
Speaker 4: See irvine, you know does that hurt him a? Little
bit or do You, balance okay you don't always have
to laid.
Speaker 6: The position.
Speaker 4: You balance that with a good ANALYST. Or ga that
helps out a little bit in. That regard if You
Retain wesley johnson AS a ga analyst and you Bring In,
tomorrow warren maybe that's. The answer maybe that's the. Key
there something to keep an eye. On tomorrow warning could
be your quarterbacks COACH. For byu let's go, to break don't.
