The moment I knew Kalani was a bad fit.

The defense was top 50. Stop making excuses for a bottom 10 offense.

Top 50 defense? Hardly. It should have been much better than it was with the

Scoring defense, points per play, and total defense. That is not "picking"

Those statistics are a farce. In every game against a half-decent offense, our

If the offense was any better those defensive stats would look a lot worse.

The defense wasn't as bad a the offense, but stop using the offense as an excuse

So you want a primary teacher for a football coach?

Coug

12/7/17 1:35pm

classic overstatement, nice teenager refute.

smartup

12/7/17 1:39pm

Oh, I'm sorry... was I too hard on you?

Coug

"the BYU dance teams more fans"????

smartup

12/7/17 1:53pm

I'm just not talented enough at sentence structure... you need to be nice

Coug

12/7/17 1:55pm

Oh your formerly "smoke monster"...this is pointless.

Your? (If you’re wanting to be picky)

Would have been more funny had you been the one to notice it.

ManicBlue

12/7/17 2:40pm

Nah... it was still pretty dang funny to me

Coug

The defense actually did make some adjustments as the season went on.

byubyu

12/7/17 1:37pm

agreed

smartup

12/7/17 1:40pm

One of the more obvious adjustments was what the defense did vs USU

Indy Coug

I'm not saying KS knows what he's doing or not, but I see quite a few coaches

Countcougula

12/7/17 1:37pm

I agree you come down for poor execution but not because he lacks the talent

smartup

12/7/17 1:43pm

So - you think Critchlow lacks the talent to complete a pass?

Eddie

12/7/17 2:40pm

What does missing a throw have to do with talent?

chodilicus

12/7/17 9:49pm

And some players respond to it. I never minded being yelled at. Being yelled back and sent back out is better

My son missed a tackle in a playoff game last week...

Coug

And if he was properly toughened up (which I assume he has been) he probably took it just fine.

There's a famous story in our family

cajuncoug

My son absolutely loves his coach...

Coug

12/7/17 2:15pm

Get after things that can be adjusted. Yelling because talent isn't there is

smartup

12/7/17 1:45pm

I think saying "come on" is more exemplary of the former rather than the latter.

shimmy

12/7/17 1:49pm

Wait what? Calling a player out on the field for his bad play makes him a bad

MacroCougar

12/7/17 1:44pm

Calling out a player for lack of execution vs lack of talent? One works....

smartup

12/7/17 1:46pm

Have you ever played competitive football? Serious kweshtin

The Lone Star Cougar

12/7/17 2:07pm

This is D-1 football so not executing and not having talent to make a play

Yunit

12/7/17 2:23pm

The defense actually got better as the season went on

Coop

12/7/17 1:46pm

BYU was incredibly lucky they went up against a large contingent of teams who couldn't throw the ball

Indy Coug

12/7/17 1:48pm

Very true - Okie St would have put up 63 on us in the first half

Coop

12/7/17 1:59pm

hmmm, another emotional post from a TFD fanatic...nothing new here. Read my lips

You must not watch top 25 football.

mudpupper

12/7/17 1:50pm

But when the kid just isn't talented enough, you have to kid glove him

Coug

12/7/17 1:52pm

It isn't like Kalani reamed him on the sidelines. It was just C'Mon Man! moment

mudpupper

12/7/17 1:55pm

Oh my gosh... Mod's... Mod's... mudpupper said C'mon man really mean

Coug

12/7/17 1:56pm

I am sure he never said come on after a missed tackle

RWaters

12/7/17 1:53pm

Really? What about the suspicious fake punt call ?

bbd24

12/7/17 1:56pm

Maybe it worked for him on Madden.

for sure, obvious troll is obvious. NO ONE is offended over c'mon man.

Mayor of Cougartown

It actually was more then that, but that was the tipping point for me.

smartup

12/7/17 2:13pm

Hahahaha, who compares teaching med school to coaching football? what a joke.

Yunit

12/7/17 2:27pm

True. But it wasn't a classroom. It was the Pediatric ICU.

smartup

12/7/17 5:49pm

That is true when lives are at stake and you are in surgery etc

Yunit

12/8/17 9:16am

I can see what you are saying.

smartup

12/8/17 7:18pm

I understand what you are saying but look at the best coaches in college

Yunit

12/8/17 9:32pm

He should have handed him a unicorn trophy and said try harder next time with a kind, warm smile!

RoaroftheCougartails

12/7/17 2:01pm

I think Smartup likes participation trophies.

Yunit

12/7/17 2:43pm

This is D1 football brutha.

Thrill

12/7/17 2:03pm

That's utterly ridiculous that one thing proved he was a bad fit
