Alisa says it's up to individuals to do their job. "Not the fans, not the coaches, not even your teammates on the sideline. It's you."#BYUSN View

I disagree with Alisa - the coaches have a huge responsibility to get players

Bronoc

He's taking responsibility for himself and saying that others on the team

binghammer

10/23/14 10:57am

he should take responsibility, but that doesn't absolve the coaches of theirs

Bronoc

10/23/14 10:59am

He doesn't need to worry about the coaches. He has a job to do and

binghammer

10/23/14 11:02am

you're right, he has no control over the coaches. But we can't pretend like a

Bronoc

10/23/14 11:06am

that's not what he said, you need to re-read the quote

binghammer

10/23/14 11:07am

it's nice to have that attitude, but it's not true

Bronoc

10/23/14 11:09am

You have some issues man. You have such an axe to grind w/ the coaches

binghammer

10/23/14 11:14am

yeah I have such a big axe to grind - that I say the coaches have responsibility

Bronoc

10/23/14 11:24am

no, just saying your comments are not relevant to the coaches, you said he was

binghammer

10/23/14 11:29am

I didn't say his attitude was wrong

Bronoc

10/23/14 11:32am

lol, that is essentially what he said

binghammer

10/23/14 11:33am

I think there is a difference

Bronoc

10/23/14 11:34am

I guess you do.

binghammer

10/23/14 11:36am

I agree. Bronco should learn from his players.

Jkampana

10/23/14 11:33am

Would you accept the hypothesis that the coaches have performed that task

StantonMac

10/23/14 11:02am

Are all the coaches acting in the same roles as previously?

Bronoc

10/23/14 11:07am

The only difference I know of is...

StantonMac

10/23/14 11:47am

The point being, the coaches have done their job, now the players need to do

Freddie Cougar

10/23/14 11:05am

have the coaches done their jobs?

Bronoc

10/23/14 11:07am

I think it would be silly to think otherwise

Freddie Cougar

10/23/14 11:29am

Does Nick Howell have a proven track record of calling a defense?

Bronoc

10/23/14 11:32am

We're talking about players doing their assignments

Freddie Cougar

10/23/14 11:37am

Pretty much everyone that understands football thinks the play calling is fine .

There are plenty of instances where BYU teams have been unprepared in the past 5

Jkampana

10/23/14 11:48am

What does "unprepared" even mean, and how would a fan know?

StantonMac

10/23/14 12:00pm

Then why are we playing players that can't do their job?

Jkampana

10/23/14 12:35pm

Their backups can't do that job any better?

Jhayes

10/23/14 12:39pm

OK then your stance is that BM and Co are poor recruiters?

Jkampana

10/23/14 12:42pm

Ebbs and flows in talent ... BYU is not going to be awesome every year.

Jhayes

10/23/14 12:49pm

OK when is the swing going to go in favor of the BYU program maximizing talnent?

Jkampana

10/23/14 1:00pm

When the D was one of the top in the country was a good time.

Jhayes

10/23/14 1:00pm

Oh you mean the mighty 8-5 cougars.

Jkampana

10/23/14 1:07pm

Who says we haven't been maximizing talent?

StantonMac

10/23/14 1:05pm

Link?

Jkampana

10/23/14 1:12pm

Someone posted the latest study on the board within the last month or so

StantonMac

10/23/14 1:26pm

Sorry If I don't take your word for it.

Jkampana

10/23/14 1:47pm

Of course, that's the only possible explanation.

StantonMac

10/23/14 12:51pm

You believe coaching is fine. It's just players not executing?

Jkampana

10/23/14 1:03pm

I find it hilarious that guys like you refuse to put any blame on the players.

StantonMac

10/23/14 1:08pm

I do put blame on the players. In the end they are the ones on the field

Jkampana

10/23/14 1:11pm

Link to where I said the coaches have nothing to do with it?

StantonMac

10/23/14 1:25pm

This entire thread chain started my comment to FC concerning his comment that

Jkampana

10/23/14 1:47pm

such is the internet

StantonMac

10/23/14 1:49pm

I'm not saying that. So USU, UCF, Nevada, Virgina, etc. out executed us

Jkampana

10/23/14 1:14pm

Sometimes, just like being a parent, you do everything you can and your kids are

It's nice he feels this way, but he's struggled.
