No he didn't.

"In the postgame, Sitake said maybe BYU ought to play more man-to-man defense in the future (Ding! Ding! Ding!) but also credited defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki. Sitake will probably claim that the defensive play calling is a collaborative effort but the defense in the second half reflected Sitake’s aggressive approach way more than Tuiaki’s drop-eight philosophy."

Inside Darnell's Head: BYU comeback win wasn't perfect but just what Cougars needed

Here’s what’s going on inside Darnell’s head as the state of Utah switches to a different alert system for COVID-19.

Can anyone confirm if Kalani did infact call the defensive plays in the 2nd half

dodgersjazzcougs

10/19/20 1:02pm

Didn't Sitake himself confirm the opposite: that he didn't?

If he said that, he's lying

BYUtv post game said the same.

I don't think that's true. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I appreciate that honest response. Thanks.

This is they typical handling of the evidence for the Tuiaki conspiracy theory.

Thanks, Sister Tuiaki. Have fun with your tinfoil hat

Yes, he did. I don't think you read the full article. Darnell specifically says

Sock Gnome

Let's say Darnell knows this. How could/would Darnell know this?

rcbyufan

10/19/20 1:20pm

That's not the point. All-American was disputing the fact that Darnell said this

Sock Gnome

10/19/20 1:23pm

He also admits that Kalani would say otherwise. He doesn't know.

10/19/20 1:26pm

Again, not the point. Darnell said it whether it's true or not. You can dispute

Sock Gnome

10/19/20 1:29pm

Okay, fine. As long as we agree he has no idea.

10/19/20 1:32pm

Oh, and on "doesn't take a genius...."

Wait, weren't you just arguing that Darnell doesn't know, but now you're...

Lance71

I think the point is that it isn't REASONABLE to think Darnell would know this.

seco03

10/19/20 1:06pm

He relays the calls from Tuiaki in the booth. Normal.

I'm Dynamite

10/19/20 1:07pm

The head coach relaying play calls to the field from the booth is hardly normal. He was calling plays.

10/19/20 1:09pm

But he was "calling" the plays with input from the booth, that's why they are up

basman

10/19/20 2:12pm

That’s different than just signaling in a play as a go between.

10/19/20 5:20pm

Going purely off of that is like saying the backup QBs are calling plays because

10/19/20 1:08pm

That's actually when things turned. We started letting Baylor call the plays.

So did David Nixon. Some refuse to believe it for some reason even after years of Tuiaki

The plan was to let Houston have their way and a lead and then surprise them with an actual effective defense?

No touching

I think the strategy is to get through the first half playing bend but don't

Hope that is not the idea. That is risky to play that way.

During BYUTV postgame KS specifically credited Tuiaki for making 2H adjustments

IMO I am still "not" confident that Tuiaki is solely in charge of the D.
