HB Arnett's 801 372 - 0819 <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> hbarnett(a)fiber.net 1391 West 800 South - Orem, Utah 84058 Vol. 35, Issue 18 - November 24, 2014 Click Here To Order Or Renew Your Subscriptions <http://cougarclicks.com/product/Order-Cougar-Sportsline?ID=3173> Concluding with Cal No Savannah Hosanna for BYU's Beat Down of Tigers BYU's seventh win of the season certainly didn't evoke any expressions of adoration, praise or joy for the Cougars' 64-0 showing and shellacking of the hapless Savannah State Tigers last Saturday in LaVell Edwards Stadium. Instead, Bronco Mendenhall and his boys were the epitome of graciousness but not necessarily good manners in hosting their guests from Georgia. Every time BYU burped, they scored. The Cougars could have easily belched their way to putting up 124.in the first half, against SSU. Heck, Christian Stewart took it easy, despite throwing for 4 touchdowns and running for two more. Everybody scored for BYU. You can see for yourself by clicking here <http://byucougars.com/event-stats/m-football/box-score/105939> for the box score. This game was a last minute fill in for Tom Holmoe when Hawaii backed out of their contract to play the Cougars in Provo. Mendenhall had hoped to use this game as a tune up for the regular season finale next Saturday against Cal in Berkeley. Instead of a tune up, BYU barely got the washer fluid filled and the flogging was on. Next up will be a real game against Cal this Saturday, Nov 29 on the road. There will be plenty to play for on the table for both teams. BYU wants to keep alive their goal of winning 9 games this year and Cal absolutely needs a win against the Cougars to get to a 6-win season and bowl game invite. This could be a Cougar/Cal rerun. When the Bears faced the Cougars of Washington State earlier this season in Pullman, both teams put up gaudy passing numbers. Cal and their quarterback Jared Goff passed for 527 yards while WSU QB Connor Halliday threw for 734 yards. This game will be won with the quarterbacks' arms and the defensive secondary coverage, or lack of it. On paper Goff has more experience and better throwing numbers than Christian Stewart. And BYU's secondary has been anything but the strength of this year's Cougar defense. Bring a calculator because the scoreboard should be on fire. I call it Cal 47 BYU 35. BYU Basketball Maui Won't Make or Break Cougars' Season, But it Will Give us a Huge Hint of what Lies Ahead Will BYU have an offensive post presence this season? Will BYU's three point shooting be better than it was last year? Does Dave Rose have a point guard that he can rely on? Is there a defensive player on the roster that can defend a penetrating point guard or an athletic wing? If opponents take away BYU's open court game, does Rose actually have any offensive sets that will work? Did Wake Forest know what they were doing when they released Chase Fischer? Will BYU fans regret the departure of Matt Carlino? Will the shot doctor that worked with Kyle Collinsworth over the last six months, be sued for malpractice? Did Dave Rose oversell Corbin Kaufusi as the next Hakeem Olajuwon? Can BYU beat San Diego State without Jimmer Fredette? We should get some answers to those questions tonight when BYU faces San Diego State in Maui. The game is set to be televised nationally on ESPN2 and tips at 9:30 pm MST. The biggest question that has to be answered involves BYU's offense versus SDSU' defense. Currently, the Cougars rank fifth in the nation in scoring with a 95.6 average per game. San Diego State ranks third in the country in points allowed, giving up only 44.7 per contest. Last week they held Cal State Bakersfield to a Div. I low of 27. This much should be a guarantee for BYU when they tip it off against the Aztecs. BYU will score more than 27 points, but definitely less than 90. If BYU can find a way to get to 70 points, they will win this game, in my opinion. For BYU to win, they will have to do it with outside shooting. The Aztecs will control the paint and BYU's inside game will be nonexistent against SDSU. That means that the Cougars will have to connect from distance and beyond the arc. That means this game will be in the hands of Tyler Haws and Chase Fischer. If they have decent games shooting the ball from outside, BYU has a chance. If they don't, then BYU can't win. If BYU wins, they most likely will face Pitt the next day. If they lose, the next likely opponent will be Chaminade. The third and final day of the tournament, the Cougars could end up facing either Purdue, Kansas State, Missouri or Arizona. BYU will return home and face Eastern Kentucky in Provo on Saturday in the Marriott Center. Not Happiness and Home Wins What Can Money, Lots of it and less of it Buy? For all of you academics out there that actually know how to do research, the numbers below are not research, just random observations from me after perusing The Department of Education's "Equity in Athletics Data Analysis Cutting Tool". You too can come up with your own observations at the same site by clicking here <http://ope.ed.gov/athletics/GetOneInstitutionData.aspx> . Then click on go to login page, then click on get data for one institution. The data I chose to focus on is the latest available from 2013 and includes the revenue generated by Basketball and Football at each school; the average men's head coaching salary at each school, the average men's assistant coaches' salary and the recruiting expenses for each school. You will have to do your own extrapolation of what average means and how it translates to success or lack of success at each representative school. For example, let's start with Utah. Their average salary for a men's head coach is $422,399. The average salary paid for an assistant coach is $148,292. I guarantee you that the head swimming coach at Utah is not making $422,399 and the assistant baseball coach for the Utes is not making $148,292. The averages are extremely skewed by the salaries for Football and Basketball coaches. For example, from the latest public information released by the State of Utah for 2013, Kyle Whittingham earned $1,989,390 and Larry Krystkowiak earned $1,058,400. And according to those same public records, here are some of the salaries of some football and basketball assistants at Utah. Kalani Sitake, football, $570,503 Jay Hill, football, $286,704 Brian Johnson, football, $276,882 Aaron Roderick, football, $272, 290 Morgan Scalley, football, $240,367 Daniel Finn, football, $254,538 Ilaisa Tuiaki, football, $216,592 Sharrief Shah, football, $200,641 Doug Elisaia, football, $234,525 (Strength and Conditioning Coach) Tommy Conner, basketball, $228,993 Demarlo Slocum, basketball, $212,302 Anthony Levrets, Women's Head Basketball Coach, $257,882 So now that we have hopefully explained how the average salaries of coaches is skewed by the big two revenue sports of football and basketball, you can draw your own conclusions on how well schools pay coaches for those two sports. Also included are the numbers for revenue brought in by football and basketball at a particular school, and the money each institution spent on recruiting. All numbers are according the Department of Education for 2013 With that said, let's get started comparing 8 schools, BYU, Utah, Utah State, Wyoming, Purdue, Iowa State, Savannah State and Alabama and see what they have bought for their money spent. BYU.Currently 7-4 and headed to Miami Beach Bowl Average salary for Men Head Coaches, $391,210 Average salary for Men Assistant Coaches, $98,381 (As a side note, the average salary for all Women Head Coaches is $129,741 and Women Assistant Coaches average salary is $37,437.) Revenue brought in for 2013 Men's Basketball, $6,341,172 Football, $22,212,731 Recruiting Expenses for Men's Sports, $721,274 Savannah State.Currently 0-12 and going nowhere Average salary for Men Head Coaches, $69,284 Average salary for Men Assistant Coaches, $37,097 Revenue brought in for 2013 Men's Basketball, $639,061 Football, $1.955,750 Recruiting Expenses for Men's Sports, $71,942 Utah.Currently 7-4 and 5th in 6 team Pac 12 South and headed to some bowl Average salary for Men Head Coaches, $442,399 Average salary for Men Assistant Coaches, $148,292 Revenue brought in for 2013 Men's Basketball, $5,425,714 Football, $27,640,267 Recruiting Expenses for Men's Sports, $829,139 Alabama.Currently 10-1 and headed for a New Year's Day Bowl.at least Average salary for Men Head Coaches, $1,276,101 Average salary for Men Assistant Coaches, $294,017 Revenue brought in for 2013 Men's Basketball, $14,000,313 Football, $94,990,345 Recruiting Expenses for Men's Sports, $1,708,683 Purdue.Currently 3-8 and last in West Division of Big 10 Average salary for Men Head Coaches, $684,401 Average salary for Men Assistant Coaches, $139,335 Revenue brought in for 2013 Men's Basketball, $9,492,614 Football, $19,785,663 Recruiting Expenses for Men's Sports, $773,235 Wyoming.Currently 4-7 and 5th in Mountain Division of MWC Average salary for Men Head Coaches, $319,429 Average salary for Men Assistant Coaches, $85,432 Revenue brought in for 2013 Men's Basketball, $2,852,422 Football, $9,626,099 Recruiting Expenses for Men's Sports, $393,253 Iowa State.Currently 2-8 and dead last in Big 12 Average salary for Men Head Coaches, $836,864 Average salary for Men Assistant Coaches, $197 884 Revenue brought in for 2013 Men's Basketball, $9,586,993 Football, $30,968, 258 Recruiting Expenses for Men's Sports, $1,006,720 Utah State.Currently 9-3 and 3rd in Mountain Division of MWC Average salary for Men Head Coaches, $185,603 Average salary for Men Assistant Coaches, $59,903 Revenue brought in for 2013 Men's Basketball, $1,807,207 Football, $6,273,541 Recruiting Expenses for Men's Sports, $338,096 So what did we learn about the correlation between money and success on the field or court? The best football teams and programs have the most money. As evidenced by Alabama at the top of the pile and Savannah State at the bottom. In between, from my point of view, we learn that with those programs in the middle, including BYU, Iowa State, Purdue and Utah, more money doesn't guarantee success. Iowa State is dead last in the Big 12 in football and outspends BYU significantly. What does that say about how BYU would fare in the Big 12 if ever invited? Nothing good, in my mind. Less money is not usually good, but as Utah State against BYU proved this year and in the last three years, you can be competitive and even beat a team with more money and resources. In my opinion, it is all about coaches and players. If you get a good coach, even at a bargain rate, he will be successful, but won't last. If he is good, he is going to cash in on better money offered by schools with bigger budgets. When it comes to players, more money for recruiting doesn't seem to make a difference in getting better players. Iowa State, Purdue and Wyoming are never going to get premier players, regardless of what they spend on recruiting. BYU is a lot like Wyoming. They could spend what Alabama does, (almost $2,000,000 per year on recruiting) and it wouldn't make any difference because of BYU's narrow LDS recruiting pool. Paying for a big name coach, sounds exciting and an easy fix for BYU when the football program is struggling. But again, spending Alabama or even Utah type money on coaches wouldn't make any difference, in my opinion, because the LDS Head Coaching pool is so small and limited. While Alabama spends huge money and gets success, teams Like Texas, which spends equally huge money, is still waiting for its latest payout with Charlie Strong and company. Utah State is getting a bargain with Matt Wells, but it will be a short lived bargain. If Wells continues to win, he will follow the footsteps of his predecessor, Gary Anderson, and at the first opportunity, jump at the big bucks and lifetime security. At BYU, there are no coaches in line to leap frog to lifetime monetary security as a head coach at BYU. Those that do get hired, are pretty well assured of lifetime job security, unless total malfeasance and malaise overtake the program they coach. In my opinion, when it comes to BYU football, there isn't any hint of malfeasance, but malaise in wins and losses and fan enthusiasm and support is definitely in the malaise stage. Money is certainly essential, but at the level BYU and Utah are playing basketball and football, it wouldn't make any difference in results. I am convinced that you could swap the current football coaching staffs at BYU and Utah and have them switch schools and teams, and the results would pretty much be the same. That is my definition of BYU football malaise.

FW: Your Cougar Sportsline and Clicks Decision is Due
by hb arnett 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

November 21, 2014 Dear Subscriber, If you receive this notice, I have you on my books as a subscriber being billed $1 a week to either Cougar Sportsline (the newsletter) or Cougar Clicks (the daily media updates). Beginning Dec. 1, the $1 weekly billing option for Cougar Clicks and Cougar Sportsline will no longer be available. The headache of billing each of you weekly has become a bigger hassle than I thought it originally would. The cost of a once a year billing is $35 and a once every two years billing is $65. The good news is that switching to the once a year billing option saves you $17 and the 2-year option saves you $39. Instead of being billed weekly as you are now, you will be billed once a year or once every two years. Both options save you money and absolutely save me the headache of weekly billing. What I need to need to know is if you want to make the switch to the annual or biennial billing options. You can do that by replying to this email notice and let me know if you want the annual billing or once every two year billing option. Or just let me know that you want to discontinue your current $1 a week subscription beginning December 1, 2014. Email me and let me know what you want to do at hbarnett(a)fiber.net <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> . Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. I appreciate your business and consideration in this matter. HB Arnett

December Deadline...I need to know
by hb arnett 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

November 19, 2014 Dear Subscriber, If you receive this notice, I have you on my books as a subscriber being billed $1 a week to either Cougar Sportsline (the newsletter) or Cougar Clicks (the daily media updates). Beginning Dec. 1, the $1 weekly billing option for Cougar Clicks and Cougar Sportsline will no longer be available. The headache of billing each of you weekly has become a bigger hassle than I thought it originally would. The cost of a once a year billing is $35 and a once every two years billing is $65. The good news is that switching to the once a year billing option saves you $17 and the 2-year option saves you $39. Instead of being billed weekly as you are now, you will be billed once a year or once every two years. Both options save you money and absolutely save me the headache of weekly billing. What I need to need to know is if you want to make the switch to the annual or biennial billing options. You can do that by replying to this email notice and let me know if you want the annual billing or once every two year billing option. Or just let me know that you want to discontinue your current $1 a week subscription beginning December 1, 2014. Email me and let me know what you want to do at hbarnett(a)fiber.net <mailto:hbarnett@fiber.net> . Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. I appreciate your business and consideration in this matter. HB Arnett

Adios to weekly billing, Hello to saving money!

November 18, 2014 Dear Subscriber, If you receive this notice, I have you on my books as a subscriber being billed $1 a week to either Cougar Sportsline (the newsletter) or Cougar Clicks (the daily media updates). Beginning Dec. 1, the $1 weekly billing option for Cougar Clicks and Cougar Sportsline will no longer be available. The headache of billing each of you weekly has become a bigger hassle than I thought it originally would. The cost of a once a year billing is $35 and a once every two years billing is $65. The good news is that switching to the once a year billing option saves you $17 and the 2-year option saves you $39. Instead of being billed weekly as you are now, you will be billed once a year or once every two years. Both options save you money and absolutely save me the headache of weekly billing. What I need to need to know is if you want to make the switch to the annual or biennial billing options.
