That's a scathing indictment of the state of the program and the percieved value of the coaching staff in player development.

It's not about any other coach or school, it's all about BYU.

There are so few out there like him that would even consider BYU at this point

there are lots of reasons for the choice, blaming BYU ignores the myriad

Maybe it wasn’t poor recruiting but it’s a big miss. And landing kids like this is a big

Yeah, anything's possible. But that isn't likely.

This. Recruiting is weird. We pretend 18 year olds are logical.

News flash: Coaches coach, players play. Whose fault is it?

BYU I Bleed Blue

12/14/19 8:00pm

Coaches also prepare players, & scheme,& in-game adjustments. I blame coaches.
