rely on timing, intelligence, and discipline. BYU can recruit those kinds of kids.

You would think so. But it seems BYU has plenty of mental mistakes to go around.

The second Ken Niumatalolo becomes HC is the second I’m gone. I refuse to watch

Just win dude. If BYU runs the wishbone and wins, I don't care.

BlueVU

10/14/19 1:02pm

Nope. Never want to see the wishbone at BYU.

Cougar86

BM Holmoe. I’m sure he wants to know.

On it!

Phew. good thing Navy doesn't run it, glad to still have you on board brother!

Those offenses are designed for undersized linemen, the opposite of what we get.

So, you don’t view football as entertainment?

Nogi-oshi

10/14/19 2:15pm

Perhaps your definition of entertainment differs from his. That's OK.

Eddie

10/14/19 2:19pm

For me, the entertainment of football actually comes from football. A win in and

Nogi-oshi

Some people like romcoms, some people like action flicks.

Eddie

10/17/19 3:06pm

But putting the W over the actual game is like a person saying she likes romcoms

Nogi-oshi

10/17/19 3:18pm

Not exactly.

Eddie

10/17/19 3:24pm

But that wasn’t the statement. The statement that I questioned was that it

Nogi-oshi

10/17/19 3:43pm

So - what you're telling me is that you've never seen a movie or TV show...

Eddie

10/17/19 3:54pm

You continue to miss the point. I'll give this one more try.

Nogi-oshi

10/17/19 6:13pm

And YOU continue to miss the point too.

Eddie

10/17/19 7:41pm

Okay, I'll go point by point.

Nogi-oshi

10/18/19 6:58am

I'm not sure I'm expressing myself well. Let me try simplifying it a little.

Eddie

10/18/19 7:59am

P.S. - I enjoy watching a good option team run the ball. I find it entertaining.

Eddie

10/17/19 3:56pm

They won't win running a triple option/flexbone offense. There's a reason you

fredgarvin

10/14/19 2:56pm

An offensive wrinkle of any kind, like the triple option would be an improvement

MikeDitka'sStache

10/14/19 1:02pm

Cuz the offense now is so exciting to watch.

Texas Hammer

10/14/19 1:03pm

I think the scheme we have is fine. Execution of the scheme is severely lacking.

Jesse Pinkman

10/14/19 1:04pm

Wishbone might be better than our current offense: the wishprayer.

frontrowcougar

10/14/19 1:04pm

Two things:

ataylor

10/14/19 1:10pm

Ken was an option QB in college and has pretty much only coached at Navy

nephicoug

10/14/19 1:14pm

I don’t think Hawaii ran the triple option. And you do realize that coaching at

ataylor

10/14/19 1:18pm

His coach at Hawaii was Paul Johnson and my point is that the triple option

nephicoug

10/14/19 1:19pm

His coach at Hawaii was Bob Wagner and they threw the ball plenty. Go look at

ataylor

10/14/19 1:23pm

But yes, Johnson was offensive coordinator.

ataylor

10/14/19 1:25pm

Paul was the OC. In Ken's SR year, HI ran 50 times per game vs 24 passes/game

nephicoug

10/14/19 1:26pm

My point stands — wasn’t a triple option offense.

ataylor

10/14/19 1:33pm

I doubt he’d run the wishbone...

1984coug

10/14/19 1:13pm

yes he would. He's been coaching it for 20 years.

mudpupper

10/14/19 1:44pm

I wouldn't mind Niumatalolo as HC with Paul Peterson as OC running HIS offense.

Thrill

10/14/19 1:14pm

My dream scenario would have been bringing in Ken N to be HC, Anae as OC and

crack

10/14/19 1:18pm

How is it 2019 and people still can't spell our HC's name correctly?

molodyets

10/14/19 1:19pm

This exactly. Let Ken run the team, let a young coordinator help architect the

ataylor

10/14/19 1:19pm

... or Chris Petersen running his as an OC. I'm not picky. I'd take either.

BoiseBlueCoug

10/14/19 1:20pm

I would go for this, but I would also go for Ken running the flexbone at BYU.

guitarplayingcougar

10/14/19 3:01pm

I don't cheer for BYU because of the offense they run. That would be silly.

Eddie

10/14/19 1:14pm

I can see it, though. "Throwing" was a HUGE part of our identity. I liked it.

BleedCougarBlue2

10/14/19 1:39pm

Identity used to be winning too. I'll take "winning" over "throwing" identity.

Eddie

10/14/19 1:52pm

"I hate winning" - some BYU football fans

BYU Fan

10/14/19 1:19pm

So, to be more clear, the second the wishbone is adopted at BYU, you're gone.

The Dark Knight

10/14/19 1:26pm

Yes... I don’t want to watch it. If Ken wants to run another offense I’m on

Cougar86

10/14/19 1:55pm

Some of the funnest moments of the USF game involved Jaren running the option

reddead

10/14/19 2:08pm

I agree... but it was used schematically

Cougar86

10/14/19 2:49pm

You'd watch and cheer if they were winning double digits games regardless of the philosophy.

TheLoneCougar

10/14/19 2:11pm

I hope you’re right.... but mostly I hope I don’t have to make that decision.
