BYU fans would feel like fishes out of water if they didn't have someone

Fire Tuiaki is an over reaction. BYU defense still has issues.

boogers

11/29/21 9:10pm

I think the main reason is because his D is a huge paradigm shift from what we all saw for decades.

I think Tuiaki and the BYU defense has gotten progressively better year to year.

Eddie

Need many more players with talent to run the scheme.

boogers

11/29/21 9:18pm

I think the opposite. It’s a scheme that does a good job masking weaknesses.

You need great linebackers and d line that can create pressure without blitz or

boogers

Honestly, I think it's a bit of both.

Sometimes CBers talk themselves into believing things that just aren’t true.

As always, let me be the voice of reason. I do not want to fire Tuiaki, and I recognize that his defenses have had

We should be disciples of Christ and not call for someone to be fired

Look for only the good he doesand focus on that. Let Tuiaki deal his problems

Nobody should be held to high standard? People should all be tenured?

Repent ye, repent ye. No longer allow the opposing QB to be without pressure.

I'm not a huge fan of giving up double digit play drives with 8-10 minutes

Defense was top 10 last year

Blueto

Against weak competition. Our athletes were bigger, stronger, and faster

LilToney

the correct answer is that no one on CB has enough info to make an informed decision. Tuiaki may need to be fired, but

It’s safe to assume Kalani doesn’t hate the scheme: Tuiaki isn’t going rogue for

I’d like to see him make his halftime adjustments much sooner.

Thrill

11/29/21 9:39pm

What halftime adjustment did he make in last two games?

Bobmarleyjr

11/29/21 10:45pm

i agree with everything you said. But, that said, if he took the SUU job for instance, I'd be excited to see what some

His defense ranks lows. Lost games when offense has scored 40+

Bobmarleyjr

11/29/21 10:43pm

How many games has he lost when BYU scored 40?

All-American

11/30/21 6:16am

Because our defense is bottom third in the most important metric - stop rate.

Frankfromtheballpark

11/29/21 10:56pm

Those are metrics I'd never heard of. Makes total sense.

Excellent analysis. I hope B12 $ or talent helps this. if not, then

You point to team success which is the most important, but you have to realize how bad the defense has been this year

It’s because the fire-Tuiaki crowd have played even less football than you!

I’m just an unfrozen caveman lawyer. I don’t understand these flashy blitz schemes.

Trent

For me - it’s an agonizing D to watch. Simple as that. I can’t complain about the W-L % but

I'm not on the fire Tuiaki train - I think he's been ok - but what hurts IMO is

The D makes avg QBs look like MVPs. Bet we could find 10 more examples of this
