Totally agree

It's not just the play calling that was the problem...

Game prep, teaching fundamentals, developing players...

You realize we have the same exact D coaches this year as last year

There was one big difference this year, and that's Bronco. Until this year,

Bronco plays a big role in motivation and accountability. It makes a big

Bronco's style creates chemistry and unity that Howell can't replicate

But we're not talking about that, we're talking teaching fundamentals.

Talentless D Line, extremely young LB'ers, A secondary that couldn't hold up
Ebolarama
12/17/14 12:38pm
Thing is, Bronco recruited for and built that defense. So he is also responsible
Mathlete
12/17/14 12:40pm
I can't argue that. I'm just agreeing that Howell didnt have a ton to work with.
Ebolarama

You think it's an easy thing to produce top 25 defenses yearly ?

Did Bronco suddenly forget how to coach? Did the game pass him by?

did not realize Bronco was the def co ordinator.....but if so

Who were all these "wrong" players?

How many other Kai Nacuas are riding pine
kotacoug
12/17/14 5:55pm
Nacua didn't play because he didn't show in practice that he was ready
Freddie Cougar

Do you have some examples?

The D problems were execution driven.

They were taught, they didnt do. Big difference.
Ebolarama
12/17/14 12:44pm
Exactly, some act like BYU is the first time these players have played football
ManicBlue
12/17/14 12:53pm
No, but it is the case that players get lazy and forget proper fundamentals.
newey-west
12/17/14 12:54pm
and I know for a fact the coaches stressed those fundamentals in practices
ManicBlue
12/17/14 12:56pm
I don't disagree. However, you can't discount the fact that HOW you teach
newey-west
12/17/14 1:00pm
Sure but are you saying BYU's defensive coaches weren't teaching them correctly?

It's funny to be on this side of the argument, because normally I'm supporting

True. And that's bad news. Play calling is easier to grow into than knowing
Shimmy

play calling wasn't his huge problem.
southernfriedcougar
12/17/14 12:53pm
Yup, indicated they called the same calls the year prior and before, just didn't
ocmyhome

Well, Bronco keeping Howell on staff will create all sorts of personnel problems

What proof of this do you have. One major "D" player loves Howell

Except that Leavitt WAS playing.

One major "D" player is also Howell's brother-in-law....

Who was better than the other players at his position. Weird how he got time huh
Ebolarama

Truth to it, but that is a simplistic explanation.

How about maybe teaching the players responsibility, showing them film etc?
slowhiteguy
12/17/14 1:50pm
I know. I can't believe we quit watching film this year. That was a big mistake.
Undefeated
12/17/14 2:39pm
Whoa--they seriously stopped watching film? When did this come out?
