Unfortunately that didn't translate to the next season. Part of that was the conservative nature of the defense, which I hated. Will be interesting to see how Tuiaki calls the defense this year.

You do realize we went 4-9 last year, right?

Until he proves otherwise, I think Sitake is a disorganized mess.

3 years? He's only had two complete seasons at BYU. So much ignorance on CB.

Rise Against

And you're really going to try and attach Oregon State failures to just Sitake?

Rise Against

At Oregon St he inherited the #74 defense and left a #115 defense after 1 year.

Stop with the silly numbers on paper with no context people. Please.

Do you give Crowton all the credit for his first season?

That was a gift from the prior coaching staff

Honest question, is Kalani in charge of the agenda, etc of the recruiting trips,

He won't need to worry about all these details next year.

No he shouldn't be. Somebody else handles all that and he oversees that it

It was a disaster from the first game. Quit using the excuse of injuries.

The "inexperienced" coaches got it done in 2016

Thank you Bronco, Hill and Jamal for 2016.

You just can’t compare bowl records in the 70s to bowl records now. It’s silly
