Cause he's played and maybe he knows a little more than us?

I think the point of what they were saying yesterday was, there were a lot of plays where it was the right play call, and players just didn't execute and messed up. Hifo talked about that on the call, MLP made mention that lots of assignments were missed in practice etc.

I think Criddle is actually correct in this case.

Criddle & Jensen dropped the hammer a bit on players the other day

loss on the players? like virtually every loss ever?

Right. Because no one had issues with the O scheme or coaching culture last year

GOR

And if the players aren’t focused or committed, who does that go back to? 🤔

To an extent... But can't be watching these kids 24/7. They have to motivate

Definitely. One or two players will always do what they want to do, despite the

All the HC can do is establish a culture of discipline and hard work.

I think you have some great points, but we should be better than this.

I haven't written him off yet, I think a first time BYU HC deserves 5 years.

We get it, you don't like the coaching staff.

BYU had the players and scheme to win.... but dropped passes/missed assignments.

Player leadership ... one would hope

How can Criddle make that kind of assessment without being a coach?

I really like Jensen. He calls it like it is.

Is it Cam Jensen?

The idea that BYU's players can't get up for the first home game of the season,

BYU media has given zero respect to cal after the loss, which I don't get.

Ask yourself a couple of questions. Do you think any players on Nick Saban's

The difference is Alabama's backups are as good or better as most teams starters

SpanishFork12

9/13/18 12:15pm

That's a great example.

wilsdad

9/13/18 1:02pm

It's a horrible example. Saban has elite talent in backup positions. We don't.

A series to get disciplined would reap great benefits. But you have to be

cougarfan87

9/13/18 2:10pm

Agreed.

Considering how long most of our offensive series were last week...

so why couldn't he cut it in the NFL? Less talent, his 2's weren't better than

Saban did the same thing at LSU before Bama.

9/13/18 2:23pm

It's LSU! They won another title without him in 2007 too. LSU gets the top

I agree...

Agreed. Been saying that for the last two years.

That’s it. Most of them have their scholies and have no further aspirations.

How did Saban do in the NFL again?

9/13/18 1:02pm

What does that have to do with the point 87 was making??

9/13/18 1:33pm

Apples to oranges. BYU is not Alabama, Alabama is not NFL even if HC is the same

palangi

Interesting... so because it is two individual schools...

byu_coug

9/14/18 6:38pm

Why stop at Alabama? Compare BYU to the NE Patriots.

Nice strawman... He was comparing attitudes and accountability...
