Sounds like scholarships need to start being pulled.

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

loss on the players? like virtually every loss ever?

Dissenter

9/13/18 9:28am

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

GOR

9/13/18 1:55pm

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.

dilbert

9/13/18 9:42am

And, KS hasn't created a culture of discipline and hard work. Hence the current

He couldn’t even maintain it, let alone create it

I was very down on KS after the first two years, but think the jury is still out

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.

ldssdl

True to a point

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

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

9/13/18 11:40am

Player leadership ... one would hope

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

franklyvulgar

9/13/18 9:33am

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

ReggaeCoug

9/13/18 9:38am

I mean the comment about player’s commitment I get evaluating plays

franklyvulgar

His brother is on the team

palangi

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

Is it Cam Jensen?

Yes!

In the 2nd Half, cal's defense was drooling and playing with a lot of emotion

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

LOL Yeah this would happen if BYU's coaches for the last 15 years felt like

The coaches set the culture, and the players follow that culture

It's not that simple. The coaches this year are absolutely pushing the

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

cougarfan87

9/13/18 11:59am

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.

GOR

9/13/18 1:57pm

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

cougarfan87

9/13/18 2:10pm

Agreed.

wilsdad

9/13/18 2:12pm

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

Stop it.

wilsdad

9/13/18 2:10pm

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

palangi

9/13/18 2:16pm

Saban did the same thing at LSU before Bama.

wilsdad

9/13/18 2:23pm

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

palangi

9/13/18 2:48pm

Come on

GOR

9/13/18 2:20pm

I agree...

wilsdad

9/13/18 2:25pm

Agreed. Been saying that for the last two years.

GOR

9/13/18 8:12pm

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

dreamlvr

9/13/18 2:51pm

How did Saban do in the NFL again?

palangi

9/13/18 1:02pm

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

byu_coug

9/13/18 1:33pm

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

palangi

9/13/18 1:47pm

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.

Benfica1

9/13/18 1:13pm

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

byu_coug

"Strongman". Thanks.

9/13/18 2:16pm

Ask another: How many of our guys would see the field at Alabama?

cajuncoug

Doesn't matter. I already said it won't make us Alabama. But disciplined

Good. But coaching is king in CFB.

I think that may be more true than we knew.
