Tuiaki's results are typical of most DCs in BYU history.

Bronco had a couple of exceptional years, but he was probably the best D coach we'll ever get. He also had some pretty bad years, mind you.

But, as a rule BYU doesn't do particularly well on defense, and has only occasionally had any special talent on that side of the ball.

Tuiaki apologists: do you defend him because you truly believe he is a solid DC?

Too bad we never got to see a Bronco defense last year so we could compare.

I bet the BYU offense could have piled up points on Bronco's defense last year.

I bet Tyler Allgeier would put up 5 TDs against Bronco's defense last year

I defend him because he is a solid, not great DC.

Don't forget to add that Bronco put the best players on defense and had some truly underwhelming offenses.

That is rewriting history.

I just tend to be more optimistic than not when it comes to stuff like this.

I defend him at times because the criticism has become disproportionate

I defend the situation. He’s the DC, and I don’t see that changing.

Does the scheme impact the talent that goes to Provo? I have to believe it does.

I don’t think so. Winning matters most.

The arrogance of people to think they know more than Tom is off-putting to say the least.

Whatever. CB is full of guys who know more about defense and the players available than Kalani does.

My biggest issue is how married to his scheme he is. And how conservative play calling often is.
