Dick Harmon: With Hadley, other hires, BYU football entering a new era with its coaching tree

Preston Hadley comes home.

The latest addition to BYU’s coaching staff is described as a guy who always wanted to get into coaching, did so through the junior college ranks, then Weber State and, now, at the ripe old age of 29, is a Division I safety coach for the Cougars.

Folks who know Hadley say Kalani Sitake hired a young but experienced coach with a light bulb personality.

“Count me in as one of those who is super excited that Preston was hired,” said Hadley’s former teammate and captain of BYU’s defense, Brandon Ogletree.
