I'm of the opinion that Sitake was, and for the most part, still is an empty suit. He imploded the OSU defense the first year with a complete overhaul despite not having the personnel. I think that was a huge mistake. He will forever be known as the DC of one of the worst defenses in OSU history. I'm not convinced he would have ever made that defense competitive if he had stayed at OSU. He knew he was in over his head and escaped as soon as he could. I don't see him as a long term answer for BYU. He hasn't been a good coach there until this year when the perfect storm of a JV schedule and a good QB allowed him to look like a decent coach. I don’t have a strong opinion about Sitake but I definitely agree, don’t think this year’s results should be given much consideration.

I don’t know. He was a really good DC at Utah and I think he might have finally figured it out at BYU. Part of his problem here was trying to switch to a 3-4 without the personnel to make it work. We shall see.

That was the guy who also thought he should have final decision over starting quarterback.

Not sure why the continued interest in the former coach. True his coaching took us to a level we hadn't been in awhile but he could have really killed us had he stuck around or gotten fired and required full payment. Be thankful we are where we are it could be a lot worse,

Be thankful we are where we are it could be a lot worse, because there is nothing else to talk about in the offseason. If you have a better topic, fire that bad boy up!

I’m not sure why some posters always question why we talk about former coaches and our hated arch rival!
Because they’re there!!

Be thankful we are where we are it could be a lot worse, Because there was an article written recently that was written from a bit of a skewed perspective. The impetus of this particular thread wasn’t just out of left field, it was in response to a recently published article that was a bit generous to that f%#* face.

I don't think Sitake is the greatest coach or anything, but he is decent, and would have been a fine fit here at OSU, especially with his poly connections. There was a reason that he bailed ASAP, though. Partially BYU was his dream gig and a head coaching gig, but WELL before BYU came calling he was looking for something new. He would have been willing to take ANYTHING lateral, and even a step back down if it was at a big school. He just lucked out and BYU saved him.
He was VERY against going to a 3-4 whole hog with out the, well, hogs. Felt like GAG forced his hands on a lot of things. But, he was a good soldier and never complained out loud, kept on a good face, and was putting out feelers for a new job even before the first official game of the GAG era!
