I feel very lucky to have a guy like Brent joining our staff. He has an excellent track record coaching wide receivers and quarterbacks, and also brings outstanding experience coordinating offenses. Having Brent come to Boise State was an opportunity we could not pass up.
He's a real positive guy, and a can-do guy. ... He also was a guy who was always thinking outside the box and pushing the envelope.
It was very apparent that this guy is a first-class football coach.
We want a guy on the cutting edge. We want someone who is going to move the bar up from where it's been set by Pit.
We talked last year about him taking the next step there, and that didn't happen for whatever reason where we wanted him to. Did he get better? He did. He got better on occasion, but he wasn't the consistent guy that we needed.
