My Short List to Replace Gary Anderson at Utah State...

The latest news is that Gary Anderson is out as Utah State head football coach.  He could not find the magic he had in his first tenue in Logan.  COVID-19 did not help.  Neither did a flurry of transfers in both directions.  Here is my list of possible replacements

Interim Coach Frank Maile.  This is your chance.  There are five games left in the season.  Turn the Aggies around and get the job.  Consider this an audition.  If he does well, there will not be a further search.

Weber State Head Coach Jay Hill.  The man worked wonders in Ogden.  Can he do the same in Logan?

BYU Assistant Ed Lamb.  Lamb was the head man in Cedar City at Southern Utah and led them to a Big Sky Conference Championship.  He has been the mentor for Kalani Sitake in Provo.  Let's face it, something saved the Sitake era in Provo from being a complete disaster.  Lamb had a lot to do with it.

Utah Assistant Morgan Skalley.  It is not secret that Skalley was the Head Coach in Waiting on the Hill.  Due to the recent Contract Extension for coach Whitt, he may decided he has waited long enough.
