I assume most of the "Fan Panic" is due to the glut of skill position talent

Loaded at QB,WR and TE...not sure BYU has had this much talent in years...and the Panic may be due to the realization that it may be years before we see these quantities again...

The fan base has endured some real heartbreaking and disappointing seasons until 2020 and Josh came along ...Things changed...

Fath, hope and enthusiasm are but one side of a double edged sword...

I like this response to Derik Stevenson’s tweet about critical fans

I like the original post better.

Derik's post was pretty funny.

I see you've met the guy that sits behind me at the games.

That seems to fit in life, not just football

Both sides need to respect each other. Fans need to cool it and coaches/players

Almost all fans are idiots who don't know anything. Myself included.

My opinion is that fans can critique scheme and play calling all they want. Keep it about football. Never get personal.

10/18/21 9:56am

was Derik's tweet serious?

Fans can't say what they want to on Cougarboard. Sorry.

I don't need context. I need Tuiaki fired.

I’m not confident he does understand. Remember his quote on pressure?

Certainly against RPO-heavy schemes blitzing can be counterproductive.

He undoubtedly understand the need for it, but apparently has no clue how to achieve it.

I know Pili is a huge loss, but the same criticisms of Tuiaki's D go back

Tuiaki had a pretty sparse resume prior to his hire and only had been in coachin

I don't think it's that controversial.

How is he being Debbie Downer? I think he's pretty accurate about BYU's recent history.

10/18/21 1:22pm

We can apparently only talk about Positive things... and then spin the negative things into positives...

Not controversial. Getting into a power 5 has NEVER been about winning. Or Boise

Fans have gotten countless coaches fired. So your theory is pretty bad.

kimdaddy35

10/18/21 10:27am

This. Whining during a game isn’t going to change the game. But it can change

bluesloth

10/18/21 10:33am

Very true, but don't think that will happen at BYU.

10/18/21 11:26am

This isnt the SEC, but keep spending ur days whining about Tuiaki and who knows!

SLIVER

10/18/21 12:26pm

Yes, you are right coaches only get fired in the SEC

kimdaddy35

10/18/21 12:54pm

Fans arent getting coaches fired in the B1G, Pac12, or ACC.. that's an SEC thing

SLIVER

10/18/21 2:47pm

You are hilarious. Tons of fans at other schools have helped to get their coaches fired. If you don't think

Disappoint enough fans and you disappoint boosters.

You're changing the argument, but its fine. I see now you're THAT guy..

You are right.....

If you'll punish a current team because of what a former player says on twitter

SLIVER

You changed message....

wilsdad

I didn't change a message. My message is the same.

That's true.

What you fail to recognize is that yelling at your TV, complaining on message boards is the step before they
