Pretty stupid quote for a number of reasons

1. Taysom was a below average passer for us. If we weren't running him he wouldn't have been an effective QB at all. Almost all running QBs in college run a zone read. Taysom had no reason to be any different.
2. Taysom's injuries didn't happen because of the zone read.
3. Taysom is being used in a similar way right now in the pros. So to say he is having success now because of a better OC who is using him in a similar way as the college OC is just silly.

Taysom High School coach doesn't sound like he was happy with BYU OC's

When you injure your QB because you can't call a simple kneel down you deserve

Injure your starting QB when all you have to do is kneel. What is your response

People don't use "Oh Brother" enough these days. ...Well said.

He is absolutely correct. Doman blew the call and the knee

Not this merry-go-round again. The victory formation WAS CALLED! Doman called it

morningcalmcougar

10/19/18 2:53pm

Lol. Doman's victory formation was out of shotgun? It actually wouldn't

byubyu

10/19/18 2:56pm

Haha, that would be funny to see. But no, it was the normal one, QB under center

morningcalmcougar

10/19/18 3:00pm

So Doman sees his QB in shotgun, not in any hurry because we are running the

byubyu

10/19/18 3:26pm

In a nutshell, you are wrong. Doman called the victory formation. And...

BleedCougarBlue2

10/19/18 6:39pm

That was the story Doman told later that week. Not what was said on gameday

fulano

10/19/18 3:44pm

Exactly. You call an Effin time out to make it clear.

Q-grr

10/19/18 4:10pm

Or run onto the field and get a delay of game penalty. Or send a 12th man out.

byubyu

10/19/18 4:24pm

You don't call a timeout on the last play of the game for this situation,

morningcalmcougar

10/19/18 5:07pm

That's because coaches actually call the right play. Doman didn't. There's a

byubyu

10/19/18 5:18pm

Fully agree there are valid reasons he is out of coaching, no question

morningcalmcougar

10/19/18 5:23pm

Also got to remember we were up 6-3 and USU had a timeout, you let the clock run

morningcalmcougar

10/19/18 5:19pm

One last interesting tidbit, then I will stop kicking the proverbial horse

morningcalmcougar

10/19/18 5:30pm

Lol. They had probably 30 seconds from the time they realized he was in shotgun

byubyu

10/19/18 5:33pm

Either way, glad he is not there now, too bad it wasn't done sooner...

morningcalmcougar

10/19/18 5:38pm

It was a miscommunication. Probably more on Taysom's end too because he hadn't

SWP

10/19/18 5:06pm

Someone better keep him from seeing the hits he's taking in the NFL

10/19/18 11:14am

I guess he doesn't like his situation with the Saints then either.

10/19/18 11:14am

I'm anxious to hear Taysom's PeeWee coach complain about how his HS coach also

StarMan

10/19/18 11:16am

Thats definitely not the vibe of the article, instead its about his wide variety

BYUfan92

10/19/18 11:20am

how many of Taysom's injuries were preventable though? As I recall, most were

runnincoug

That injury at Nebraska was just crazy, weirdest injury I recall from BYU sports

BYUfan92

10/19/18 11:21am

It was the wierdest I have seen period. Most unfortunate bad luck injury I can

Some Notre Dame player tore his ACL jumping in the endzone after a TD

Dissenter

10/20/18 8:40am

The first one was horrible. The others weren’t as much, but the first injury

Alpi Gusto

10/19/18 11:25am

You could argue that his other two leg injuries stemmed from that first injury.

ldssdl

10/19/18 11:45am

I agree.

Zoobieman

10/19/18 12:35pm

The first knee injury against USU was 100% avoidable

Greg Kite's 'stache

10/19/18 11:27am

Did he simply "blow out his knee" or did the USU defender tackle low, thereby

StarMan

10/19/18 11:32am

Really doesn't matter overall. Victory formation should have been the call

spugeddy24

10/19/18 11:40am

This. If Taysom's knee had exploded taking a knee, fine. But we ran a play

Alpi Gusto

10/19/18 11:45am

So what I'm hearing is just one of his injuries was because of coaching.

runnincoug

10/19/18 11:30am

I think none were because of coaching. I think the one that was preventable was

SWP

10/19/18 5:14pm

I'm ok with that too. Either way thinking coaches got hill all his injuries

runnincoug

10/19/18 7:04pm

I mean his first injury is worthy of criticism.

JuicyJam

10/19/18 11:24am

bit he wasn't criticizing that, he talked about misuse and zone read, the

palangi

10/19/18 8:19pm

I think there is some truth to his coaches complaint however

Zach Morris

10/19/18 11:34am

didn't he injure his elbow trying to hurdle a defender? That's on Taysom.

runnincoug

10/19/18 12:14pm

A lot of his injuries were on himself. He was just aggressive.

Shore10

10/19/18 2:11pm

I totally agree with this but his most memorable plays came from his instincts

mm73

10/19/18 1:10pm

His GA Tech and Houston games were a masterpiece however. He not only ran very well

Zach Morris

10/19/18 3:18pm

Yeah probably should have used him as a kicker

cakewarrior

10/19/18 11:53am

This is so stupid. Taysom has too much speed not to be used in zone read...

Who cares what a high school coach thinks about our OC?

SWP

10/19/18 5:10pm

Sounds like he’s one of us

10/19/18 5:19pm

Lol. Very dumb comments by his high school coach. Zone read is Taysom's bread

palangi

10/19/18 8:23pm

Arguably the best offensive mind in the NFL uses Taysom now with the zone-read.
