Yes, yes they did:

"Head coach Kalani Sitake noticed a change around the program during the Cougars’ only bye week of the 13-game regular season. While Sitake and several assistant coaches were spending extra time on the recruiting trail, the players led practice all week — at times alongside no one but a handful of graduate assistants."

Still have no idea why we didn’t practice last week

I know the players took it upon themselves to have a players only team meeting. Hopefully they also practiced

9/26/17 9:52am

Next thing you know they will start holding firesides.

They did practice. Player/GA run with the coaches out recruiting, but they did practice

BlueBlood

Not according to Lamb and Tuiaki. They were pretty clear that the players didn’t practice. Hope you’re right.

SlantRoute

Perhaps Lamb and Tuiaki said they didn't practice... meaning just Lamb and Tuiaki didn't practice??

You need to listen again, and listen to kalani. They absolutely DID practice this week

I just listene to Lamb and Tuiakis’ interview. They were very clear that they didn’t practice.

You need to read the KSL article on top of the page for CB.

Wonderful arguments here. They did! They didn't! They did! They didn't!

TailgateU

Arguments that wouldn't happen if people would read articles that CB gives us.

The article you mentioned is quoting the author. Not Kalani. I’ll stick to the actual interview with the coaches.

SlantRoute

So the following quoted comment is taken completely out of context?

TheLoneCougar

9/26/17 12:26pm

That quote doesn’t say the players definitely practiced

SlantRoute

Alright guy, believe what you want.

TheLoneCougar

Or listen to Beau Hoges interview or Fred Warner.. I think they know..

They did not practice at all

is there any evidence that practicing on a bye week is a net positive?

smokymountainrain

9/26/17 9:53am

Bye weeks are beneficial after 7-8 weeks when you know your teams identity.

SlantRoute

9/26/17 10:25am

I love this... why are you expecting? Data about practice and how it correlates

Alsippi89

You probably also heard the part where Ed Lamb said that in the past

Indy Coug

9/26/17 9:53am

I never said I thought they needed to work harder than any other week of practice.

SlantRoute

Standard procedure in most programs for coaches to go out recruiting during the bye week

kccougar

9/26/17 9:54am

Maybe they think talent is the root of our problems and emphasized recruiting

Backcountry

9/26/17 9:56am

its not talent only though. this team (offense) is poorly coached.

9/26/17 9:57am

Not sure the defense is coached any better

2FarGone

9/26/17 10:01am

Per Sitake, they practiced Monday - Thursday

2FarGone

9/26/17 9:58am

Because you don't know the players like the coaches do. Sometimes you need a

obviously practicing wasn't working so we're going to try not practicing to see

nashty

9/26/17 10:08am

I can see this "they didn't practice during the bye week" is going to become a "fact" around here. Too bad it isn't

CalGTR

Meh, this season is already over

IrishCooga

9/26/17 12:15pm

Really? no idea? Rest, burnout, recruiting, school. Too difficult to grasp?

Unibro

9/26/17 1:05pm

He says he has no idea, then lists the reasons in his first paragraph. Odd.

...we're in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about

Agaricus

Looks like they've been taking practice off for a month.

SoValleyCOUG

Proof is in the pudding. We will see on Friday night.

Actually I am pretty sure Utah is off this week before Stanford next week.

Nagurski

9/26/17 2:44pm

I'm glad they didn't practice

CougarinOZ

Don't most coaches go on recruiting trips during bye weeks?

SUAVO

9/26/17 5:34pm

Unfortunately, I don't think it will make much of a difference.

Coaches went out recruiting during the bye week
