My thoughts on Tuiaki before you guys start calling for his job later today. Fan bases have made huge mistakes

Good post. Reasoned and analytically supported.

Or how about just learn best practices, the scheme and play calling combo

You could argue the exact opposite as well. Easy to cherry pick an example like

Assistants aren’t the same here though. Usually on 1-2 years deals at BYU.

Well thought out. I'd offer a few points of rebuttal

One additional counter. We already have a better DC on the staff. Kalani Sitake.

Nailed it.

Great points

My question that will never get answered:

CaliWG

10/23/21 1:07pm

Good points. However, it is clear we have coaching and scheme issues on defense.

kansascougar

10/23/21 12:07pm

He's had 6 years to improve the DL, which is the position he coached..

Coug

10/23/21 12:08pm

This is the issue. Tuiaki can’t claim a lack of talent

6. First 6 games. Defense was not the issue vs Boise

BYU313

10/23/21 12:15pm

Defense failed to respond in the second half.

BigHouse Coug

10/23/21 12:28pm

Personally I dont buy that

It’s not about the secondary playing ‘man’ it’s about what the DLs and LBs are

kotacoug

Amen

I trust Kalani.

You replace him w/ a guy who understands how to teach proper tackling technique.

byubyu

10/23/21 12:26pm

I've heard complaints about byu's tackling for 30 years.

GSwarriorcoug

10/23/21 12:30pm

Hmmm so another "there's no one better" argument. Nice.

byubyu

10/23/21 12:31pm

We are 5-2 - if you think we have more missed tackles than

GSwarriorcoug

10/23/21 12:35pm

What was byus record detmers first year? How close to indefezted? Your logoc

CarolinaCoug

10/24/21 2:06pm

You obviously aren't following my logic.

GSwarriorcoug

10/24/21 2:38pm

Tell me more about this. What tackling method is Tuiaki teaching? What are the different tackling methods taught at

HarlemCoug

10/23/21 12:44pm

You tell me. You have all the non answers of "there's no one better".

Offering PRE-rebuttals to criticisms of your DC might mean you have a bad DC

GeraldGarner

10/23/21 12:27pm

And the argument of ‘we can’t find anyone better’ is rather lame as well.

kotacoug

10/23/21 12:31pm

Don't understand all of the enthusiastic Tuiaki supporters

BigHouse Coug

10/23/21 12:44pm

Not supporters, we are defenders. All we are saying is we could do worse.

Cougzilla

10/23/21 1:00pm

Fair enough but I also believe we can do better, and probably should.

BigHouse Coug

10/23/21 1:06pm

Lol, ok. So a “Tuiaki hater” is just someone who thinks we could do better.

GeraldGarner

10/23/21 1:18pm

Fair enough, we are also saying he is not that bad.

Cougzilla

10/23/21 3:35pm

I’ve been called a racist by a board member because of my critique of Tuiaki…

kotacoug

10/23/21 1:09pm

Hmm, that makes me wonder if it goes both ways for criticism and support.

BigHouse Coug

10/23/21 1:15pm

Some fans are like that with all BYU coaches. It's kinda weird

TNT

10/23/21 1:17pm

Counterpoints: 1) we should be recruiting better by now and 2) there are better

The only reason I think it might be a good idea is because I admittedly know

Sorry Harlem… already aging poorly.

Ned Schneebly

Lots to play, but defense has played pretty well since first drive...

CLCougar

10/23/21 2:36pm

Still don’t get it, do you.

Horacio Caine

10/23/21 2:44pm

Same could be said for you on several levels

CLCougar

10/23/21 2:51pm

I’m summary he still needs to go

dizthewiz

10/23/21 2:57pm

Defense sure hasn't been the problem this game as much as you'd wish it was

CLCougar

10/23/21 3:06pm

Offensive play calling has been atrocious.

dizthewiz

10/23/21 3:15pm

Uh.. That was my point in challenging your narrative against the D this game bro

CLCougar

10/23/21 3:18pm

I got the point but the D is still bad bro

We appreciate your input, Sister Tuiaki.

I don’t agree with him on this point but Harlem is a good poster.

Ned Schneebly

10/23/21 5:00pm

I've gotten acquainted with him and he's an awesome and generous dude. Very successful in career. Need more like him..

I roll my eyes at those who have rolled their eyes. This post is solid

Talent is obviously not the issue. We have talented players. Idk what needs to
