returning experience and proven playmakers we had on that side of the ball. One stat does not define how the defense performed. If you want to pick our stats, how was our Pass Efficiency defensive ranking?

The moment I knew Kalani was a bad fit.

The defense was top 50. Stop making excuses for a bottom 10 offense.

Scoring defense, points per play, and total defense. That is not "picking"

Those statistics are a farce. In every game against a half-decent offense, our

If the offense was any better those defensive stats would look a lot worse.

The defense wasn't as bad a the offense, but stop using the offense as an excuse

So you want a primary teacher for a football coach?

classic overstatement, nice teenager refute.

Oh, I'm sorry... was I too hard on you?

"the BYU dance teams more fans"????

I'm just not talented enough at sentence structure... you need to be nice

Oh your formerly "smoke monster"...this is pointless.

Would have been more funny had you been the one to notice it.

Nah... it was still pretty dang funny to me

The defense actually did make some adjustments as the season went on.

byubyu

12/7/17 1:37pm

agreed

smartup

12/7/17 1:40pm

One of the more obvious adjustments was what the defense did vs USU

I'm not saying KS knows what he's doing or not, but I see quite a few coaches

Countcougula

12/7/17 1:37pm

I agree you come down for poor execution but not because he lacks the talent

smartup

12/7/17 1:43pm

So - you think Critchlow lacks the talent to complete a pass?

Eddie

12/7/17 2:40pm

What does missing a throw have to do with talent?

chodilicus

12/7/17 9:49pm

And some players respond to it. I never minded being yelled at. Being yelled back and sent back out is better

And if he was properly toughened up (which I assume he has been) he probably took it just fine.

My son absolutely loves his coach...

Coug

Get after things that can be adjusted. Yelling because talent isn't there is

smartup

12/7/17 1:45pm

I think saying "come on" is more exemplary of the former rather than the latter.

Wait what? Calling a player out on the field for his bad play makes him a bad

MacroCougar

12/7/17 1:44pm

Calling out a player for lack of execution vs lack of talent? One works....

smartup

12/7/17 1:46pm

Have you ever played competitive football? Serious kweshtin

The Lone Star Cougar

12/7/17 2:07pm

This is D-1 football so not executing and not having talent to make a play

Yunit

The defense actually got better as the season went on

Coop

12/7/17 1:46pm

BYU was incredibly lucky they went up against a large contingent of teams who couldn't throw the ball

Indy Coug

12/7/17 1:48pm

Very true - Okie St would have put up 63 on us in the first half

You must not watch top 25 football.

But when the kid just isn't talented enough, you have to kid glove him

Coug

It isn't like Kalani reamed him on the sidelines. It was just C'Mon Man! moment

mudpupper

Oh my gosh... Mod's... Mod's... mudpupper said C'mon man really mean

Coug

I am sure he never said come on after a missed tackle

Really? What about the suspicious fake punt call ?

Maybe it worked for him on Madden.

It actually was more then that, but that was the tipping point for me.

Hahahaha, who compares teaching med school to coaching football? what a joke.

Yunit

12/7/17 2:27pm

True. But it wasn't a classroom. It was the Pediatric ICU.
