No one on CB will decide whether he stays or goes

I think BYU was hurt by a lack of experience last year.

Most of us have no idea if a position coach is doing a good job or not

Yep, could very well just be bad timing for Cahoon

Did you mean 9th leading receiver for the 96 team?

I was about to say . . . no way he was the leading receiver

My friends are related to Cahoon and I have loved having them be BYU fans.

Triggerhappybunny

12/15/17 9:53am

Did they stop being BYU fans the last time he was let go?

TheHop

Yes

Triggerhappybunny

12/15/17 10:10am

Then they are fans of Ben Cahoon, not BYU

People are looking for scapegoats and with how bad the O. was, no one is safe.

Maybe people should tone it down or just shut it

Awful WR play. The end.

Y4LYFE

12/15/17 10:32am

Which could be because we have awful wide receivers and below average QB play.
