Going to figure this out as fast as we need him to. Wish I was wrong, but there is not enough hope shining through to keep him after this year in my opinion.

I find it funny that most Ty Detmer apologists want others to set aside logic

What about him?

sgriff

10/11/17 8:39pm

EXACTLY! Broke the P12 passing record in his 2nd year.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:39pm

Went 9-4 last year

BYURider

10/11/17 8:39pm

1-5(6) and basically dead last in offense isn't enough for you?

sgriff

10-10 after this Saturday.

BlueForLife

Well finish season close to where we finished

BYURider

10/11/17 8:43pm

I doubt that. What makes you think that we are going to catch up to last year?

sgriff

And last year wasn't that great for the offense anyway.

Detmer apologists don't have a monopoly on anti-logic

Exactly! It's not like Detmer is sticking to the same script hoping it'll work.

and some are in his control. Lets be clear that no one is disputing that.

What exactly would you do differently that he hasn't tried?

The passing game probably looks great in practice against this defense.

Prediction - Ty will be OC in 2018

BYURider

10/11/17 8:45pm

My Prediction: if that happens Kalani will be Fired in December 2018.

Hawk Talons

10/11/17 8:52pm

So if BYU went 11-2, theyd fire Kalani? Really?

Predictions wont be useless if the staff stays the same

Our losing in Royal uniforms far predates Ty and people still try to deny that.

I get your point, but explain the issues. What is wrong?

Lots of things that point back to Ty.

they knew Ula was the best back. He was injured, he COULDN'T play, and still isn't in great game shape

BlueBlood

They said nothing all off-season about Ula being number 1 if he wasn't injured.

As much as I hate the current record, I knew I'd have to be patient when they picked Ty.

Really? I don't remember many people saying we would have to be patient. Did

You should listen to what Drage said on Criddle's show this afternoon

BlueBlood

10/11/17 8:58pm

Ty is also the QB coach so poor QB play is on him too.

sgriff

Who should take the blame?

Ty should. I thought we agreed on that.

Detmer, Taysom, Heaps, Beck (early years), Anae, etc. BYU fans are never happy.

I was somewhat happy with Bronco even as a regular 8-5, 9-4 coach.

Yeah, what an idiot for not playing Ula when he was injured, right? Totally missed on that eval.
