If he actually publicly called out the O, he needs to be fired. Public dissent like that in the ranks is a cancer.

Turnpike Lane Monday Morning Quarterback

Of course, he sounds like Sitake. So I'm sure his public comments mirro the private ones and lead me to believe they don't have it. They just don't. Name the last time the D kept a 4th quarter lead and let's start there maybe.

Ilaisa Tuiaki on Coordinators' Corner said that the biggest issue against USF was that #BYU got out coached. #KSLsports View

He also blamed the offense for not scoring enough. Such a joke. He doesn't get

BYU got to the USF 13 or closer three times and scored a total of 6 points.

Indy Coug

10/14/19 11:18am

Still, the DC doesn't get to blame the offense for his inability to stop the run

cougaman

10/14/19 11:31am

I guess you didn't read all the things he blamed himself for then? But even with all the things the defense

Indy Coug

10/14/19 11:32am

I listened, but I don't want to hear anything about the offense from the DC. Its

BYU had a lead going into the 4th quarter these last 2 games.

10/14/19 11:47am

The offense missed 2 4th quarter FGs and had 4th qtr turnovers on downs in scoring range the last two weeks

Indy Coug

10/14/19 11:48am

You mean the special teams had missed FGs. And those attempts were well within

ldssdl

10/14/19 11:52am

It is their fault that they can't fight their way out of a wet paper sack when they get inside the red zone

Indy Coug

10/14/19 11:53am

Ok, but you didn't say that the first time. You said the offense missed the FGs.

ldssdl

10/14/19 11:59am

Offense doesn't miss fg

cougaman

10/14/19 11:53am

Offense can't score a TD to save their miserable lives.

Indy Coug

10/14/19 11:54am

And defense can't stop the run to save their lives!!!!!!!!!!!

10/14/19 12:00pm

USF game should have been over by half time

slatecoug

10/14/19 2:00pm

No game is over if the D can't get stops. Ask Washington State about UCLA.

And the defense can't get a sack to save their lives.

He called out both sides of the ball, and he was correct

kccougar

10/14/19 11:32am

The defensive coordinator calling out the offensive side is a firable offense. The fish rots from the head down

TN_Coug

10/14/19 11:33am

He should have called out the special teams too, with the missed FG, fumbled punt snap and atrocious kick coverage

Indy Coug

10/14/19 11:34am

Not his job. Sitake's job. His job is the D. Comment only on that. Or it looks like making excuses.

Turnpike Lane

10/14/19 11:49am

It only looks like he's making excuses if you ignore all the things he said about himself and the defense

Indy Coug

10/14/19 11:49am

Sorry, but discussing the BYU O shouldn't cross his lips in any way. None. Not his job.

Turnpike Lane

10/14/19 11:53am

He said if the O scored more points, then Toledo wouldn't have been able to run

cougaman

10/14/19 11:32am

but fans who have even less to do with it do.

He's just following his HC's example when KS would throw TY under the bus

BIG XII Coug

10/14/19 11:26am

He also isn't wrong, but it certainly doesn't look good for him calling out the O.

TheLoneCougar

10/14/19 11:37am

Right. It places a blame culture on the team. Offense can blame the ST for

cougaman

10/14/19 11:53am

Right, KS was doing it every game two years ago with Detmer and the O.

Im done with Grimes after his inability and reluctance to run up the middle in

cougaman

10/14/19 12:48pm

BYU should have scored 35+ in both of the last 2 games

slatecoug

10/14/19 1:58pm

Yes, they clearly should have. And on top of that, the defense is terrible, especially against the run.

dilbert

10/14/19 2:55pm

And the defense should have held the opsing team to under 20 points the last 2

Tuiaki on USF loss: "Feel really shameful about it. We've gotta be better coaches. That's not us." #BYU #KSLsports

@Mitch_Harper

10/14/19 11:18am

Ilaisa, what adjustments should you have made to shut down the run in the 2nd

WDaddy

10/14/19 11:20am

He later said that on the last stop to get us another chance

DrBYU

10/14/19 11:27am

Same thing coming out game after game. Does he really think teams don't make adjustments and will

Defensive player of the game according to Tuiaki: Cornerback Isaiah Herron. Special Teams players of the game: Austin Kafentzis and Tyler Allgeier. Tuiaki on Kafenzis: "He's been a great Cougar for us." #BYU

@Mitch_Harper

10/14/19 11:23am

This is a firable offense.

10/14/19 11:32am

I very much appreciate him owning up to it. He's right.

well, yeah, and thanks for the honesty. Next?
