Do all of you who are "certain" Tanner should replace Taysom really think you knows more than the current staff at BYU?

BYU had a legit chance to win all 4 of 4 games.

HighHorse

10/23/16 12:51pm

UCLA game was only close because BYU scored

Adrielle

Agree 100%

I know I shouldn't fake a punt on 4th and 19 from my own goal line....

Fetchin Fetcher

10/23/16 12:51pm

So fire Kalani then? One bad decision and he should be fired?

Adrielle

10/23/16 12:53pm

Missing the point⬆️

22jrob22

10/23/16 12:55pm

You missed the point... I obviously inferred that he should be fired

Fetchin Fetcher

10/23/16 12:58pm

Then what was your point

Read what I originally said in the body of my message

Adrielle

coaches can be wrong.... thats what ive been saying the whole time

Fetchin Fetcher

10/23/16 1:30pm

On what are you basing your opinion that the coaches are wrong about the QB

StantonMac

10/23/16 5:29pm

No one is arguing that the coaches are wrong. The argument is that they could

The disciples can't argue because they can't even understand the argument. Smh

Many seem to be trying to use the evidence of one head scratching decision

1? So if I give you2? Reverse out of TO .. Dumb play call.

Nope 11 is the magic number for me. I'm keeping tabs over here counting down...

Yes, its one of the Rules of the Board on CB that you only post informed opinion

10/23/16 2:29pm

Yup, that's exactly what I said.

Fetchin Fetcher

10/23/16 12:55pm

You didn't say anything. Just that the fake was a bad decision

Adrielle

10/23/16 12:59pm

You claimed that no one knows better than the coaching staff....

Fetchin Fetcher

10/23/16 1:17pm

With regards to individual play calls I agree with you, but with the qb decision

Adrielle

10/23/16 1:32pm

Coaches are just as susceptible to bad qb decisions as they are play calls.

thebruce

10/23/16 1:39pm

It happens surprisingly often even at the college level.

Napoli

10/23/16 1:52pm

How did you come to that conclusion?

crazY

10/23/16 1:37pm

It does poke a hole in the "coaches know more than we do" argument.

I'm not certain Tanner should take over, but wouldn't have minded

Big Wally D

10/23/16 1:02pm

I actually don't disagree with this but I wonder if such a decision would start to divide the team

Adrielle

10/23/16 1:04pm

And I'll give the coaches the benefit of the doubt on that. They obviously

Big Wally D

10/23/16 1:18pm

Your reasoning is solid. But it is also deferential

Adrielle

10/23/16 1:20pm

Hmm if only there were a way to conduct an experiment that would lead us to the

Ash

10/23/16 2:48pm

Really doubt it.

southernfriedcougar

10/23/16 5:54pm

Logically, it is already dividing the team

HawkeyeCoug

10/24/16 8:48am

But you can't complain since we should be happy that we were even in those games

I didn't believe in this logic when it was used for Bronco and I don't believe

Harrison0Yfan

10/23/16 2:33pm

I think it comes down to we want to see some sort of adjustment to improve QB

OGSuperfan

10/23/16 2:37pm

The frustration comes from the fact that we will never find out! Yes we are

Nah, you're right, getting him more experience won't help the next 2 years at

Bluedarts

Taysom is the best right now

Insiders and sources = personal opinions.... see:Big12

Fetchin Fetcher

Dude it's a source, you better believe it.

Wow you have a loser friend who should think to himself in his mom's basement

southernfriedcougar

Are we still on this?

Graig Swame

10/23/16 3:54pm

Do all of you who criticize the coaches for the fake punt think you know more

jes2332

10/23/16 4:09pm

Agreed. Have to trust them.

10/23/16 4:10pm

Most people aren't "certain"

CougarVeteran

10/23/16 4:10pm

They faked a punt on 4th and 19 from their own end zone. They make mistakes.

CosmosCuzzn

10/23/16 4:36pm

Making a poor play call at one moment is quite different than the qb decision

Adrielle

10/23/16 5:17pm

Not really

jes2332

10/23/16 6:00pm

Yes, when a Senior QB and a Sophmore QB were neck n neck during camp leading up

TutumTeRoboreReddam

How do you know they were neck and neck? I didn't think anyone got to see

But he didn't actually say neck and neck:)

Wear Blue

10/24/16 4:31pm

Not many coaches are going to use that phrase.

crazY

10/24/16 4:35pm

apparently Kalani

Wear Blue

10/24/16 4:31pm

Yes it's worth giving him at least a series or two and seeing how he does

Grumbles are always going to grumble

bald man

10/23/16 6:24pm

Yes, unless Tanner's arms fell off recently.

Nagurski

10/23/16 6:39pm

In a nutshell, the entire offense isn't working and the QB is the triggerman...

icecougar

10/23/16 7:26pm

I don't about the others but I know more than all those guys combined

Lord Emsworth

10/23/16 7:28pm

I think there's a difference between being "certain" Tanner should replace

Michicoug

10/23/16 7:44pm

In those halfs where Taysom absolutely stinks there's no harm in sitting him...

icecougar

10/23/16 7:45pm

Taysom is still learning. He'll be much more accurate next season!

Ash

10/24/16 6:53am

What would it hurt to give Tanner a series when Taysom is struggling?

There's no response to this. For all their coach defending, even the most
