ZW's candor is both refreshing and a little terrifying.

I think it wasn’t fair to Ty to give him a coordinator spot.

All-American

10/29/20 5:49pm

Agreed. Ty was in over his head as OC.

I'll say it again. I love BYU players but not a single starter on O in 2017

I’m not sure he would make a great quarterback coach

Totally, 100% disagree. It takes only 2 things to be a great coach/teacher:

The QB's under Ty were awful at going through their reads. Ty was such a natural

Disagree. And as further evidence of his teaching skills, it is well known that

Again, that’s not the same as getting a college QB to succeed. Lots of NFL

I know this hurts for people to hear but Ty was not a good OC and his QBs didn’t

There's another side to that view. 1. KS went out and recruited ZW hard despite

Sure does. Dinklemann is the reason why Ty didn't have a schollie to offer

Coming to BYU also opened his eyes to the true ugliness at Utah. Zach's brother

I don’t think “they don’t want any part of Utah” is true.

It’s absolutely true. The way the parents have been treated, they’re stone.

BYU fans didn't treat then very well last year either. Especially his mom.

Bashing Detmer is poor form.

I think defending him is just as poor.

Yes. Failing to face reality helps nothing. Time focus on Ty the great player.

BYU never should have hired him. It was a terrible, short-sighted decision.
