complaining about Lavell in the late 80s.

"He never shows emotion! He just sits there with a frown on his face on the sideline, crossing his arms! Not even when we score will be show any happiness."

People always find something to complain about.

A lot of guys here would've hated Lavell

Yeah and his offensive guys were the ones fans hated most

Fans liked Scovill as BYU OC.

Brisco

And Painter before him. And they both moved on.

They liked him because he was only there for 2 yrs

Maybe you never went to a LaVell-era game. It wasn’t much different.

“Why don’t you throw more screen passes.”

Brisco

10/22/21 11:31am

You need to throw to the tight ends more.

The difference is they could screen the callers then and keep the idiocy to

I got through once, and asked a stupid question

What did you ask and what did he say?

I remember someone asked why didn’t use pick plays and it really upset LaVell

I remember someone asked him about the uniform change and he replied…

I called in and talked to him when I was about 10 yrs old.

Had Cougarboard and the web been in existence in 1985 the posts after the UTEP

Getting rolled 68-14 by UCLA in 1993 would have been fun too. Demands to bench

I had forgotten about that game. It was painful to watch

BeardedSpock

10/22/21 11:41am

Actually I think I listened to it. I rarely missed a game during the Paul James

BeardedSpock

10/22/21 11:43am

Must’ve been maddening to hear him call sack after sack on Walsh. Not to

I was so mad that a player for UCLA said beating BYU was like sinking a 2 foot

Thankfully, I was on my mission and missed that game.

That's still the worst loss ever for me.

Belboz

True. Ken Schmidt was kept around for WAY too long despite crappy defenses

arizonacougarfan

OC, DC and QB all get hated on by cougar fans

Parker Schnabel

True, be also got a fair amount of All Americans for a smaller school.

Edwards would have been criticized for his underwhelming bowl record. As an alum

I remember the post game call in show. He always did a good job

When Crowton took over, he said "no thank you" to postgame questions. I'm sure

Parker Schnabel

Yea, we shouldn’t have opinions.

The thread is about complaining and whining.

Zoobieman

That I simply not true. Many coaches were hired away.

oldrugger

False. LaVell gave his assistants plenty of autonomy, and the jobs here became

Well, his friendship with Paterno doesn't sully his good name.
