He is definitely open to criticism as OC, no one contests that.
And yes, 5 losses in a row after winning the Heisman.... let's be sure we placed the full blame on his shoulders for all five losses. None of the blame should go on Lavell's shoulders should it, it was all Tys fault.
Lets look at those five games. Granted, the Hawaii loss was a bad one but not the only time BYU teams have lost in Hawaii. The Texas A&M game he separated both shoulders against a very talented team. The three games to start the season in 91 were against UCLA Penn State and Florida State. That four game stretch was probably as brutal as BYU has ever had , and we had less Talent back then.
Remember our featured halfback was Joe semenoff back then? By that time most of Tys best receivers were all gone either to the graduation or the NFL but yeah lets place the blame all on him. He's down, so let's join the crowd and pile on. That's what true fans do when things are in the dumps
