SALT LAKE CITY — As BYU officials search for a new offensive coordinator to replace Ty Detmer, let’s hope this time they have come to their senses.
They should’ve known better before they called Detmer two years ago and hired him as offensive coordinator. They should’ve known it might come to this embarrassing situation in which they must dismiss a beloved local legend.
This is the third time they’ve made the same mistake. Who’s next, Steve Young?
There’s a certain mystery about what makes a good coach, but these two things are pretty certain: Experience is required and credentials as a player are vastly overrated, if not irrelevant.
