BYU Offensive coordinator Ty Detmer talks with Brigham Young Cougars quarterback Taysom Hill (7) as they wait for a ruling at the end of the first half as they play West Virginia at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016.
PROVO — It felt fitting when BYU first-year coach Kalani Sitake named Ty Detmer the Cougars' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach last December.
After all, Detmer had rewritten the record books during his BYU career and is the school's lone recipient of the Heisman Trophy, winning it in 1990.
He followed that era of Cougar success with a 14-year NFL career and a five-year stint as a high school football coach in Texas.
