Gordon Monson: 'Hill, who transformed Weber State football as its head coach, is bound to help a defense that badly needs it, not just in what happens on the field, but in what happens in the living rooms of high school recruits.'
The former Weber State head coach has been named the Cougars’ associate head coach and defensive coordinator.
But its biggest addition will come with the arrival of Jay Hill as the Cougars’ defensive coordinator. He will have to earn whatever that dollar figure is, starting with getting better athletes and then shaping them into what the Cougars are lacking: run stoppers, defensive linemen who can pressure the passer. Linebackers are always in demand, as well as speed in the back end. That about covers it. Oh, and depth, too, since injuries have a way of plaguing BYU almost every season.
As a former defensive back and coach at Utah, Hill has been guided by a slew of mentors, foremost among them Ron McBride, Urban Meyer, Kyle Whittingham, Sitake, and Morgan Scalley, among them. Defense has always been his primary swing thought before every season, every game. In Ogden, he was not only the head coach, but also the defensive coordinator, demonstrating the influence Whittingham had on him, his lean being toward slamming the heavy door on opposing offenses.
