Ok. What stats are most important?

We clearly took our foot off the gas and kept things pretty vanilla so we could finally get the Ute monkey off our back.

Or we think it clowny that so many are so whiny about Tuiaki in the offseason.

4 out of 6 years he has been above average, one year slightly below and one bad.

No one should be including 2020 in any offensive or defensive numbers. We played

Then no one should include 2021 because of injuries.

Fair critique but now you are moving the goal posts.

Injuries which have been wildly exaggerated

I don’t know. If we lost our best player on O would our O have struggled?

Nope, where are you getting that from?

Great standard going into playing in one of if not the top offensive league

BYU '80

Never said we should settle. Just that he isn’t the worst.

Cougzilla

8/14/22 9:30am

Has ANYONE ever said he was the worst? The point being is that BYU can be better.

ManicBlue

8/14/22 11:00am

If you do a search on CB for “tuiaki” and “worst” it brings up 1000’s of posts.

Why did we get better OCs when we looked for one? We're about to be in a P5 conference so

Ok so you can’t think of anyone either. Good to know.

Seriously lame argument. If you really want a list, I'm sure it wouldn't take much to

Bronco is a top defensive mind. One of the best IMO. Can’t count that to be

Those 50 or 60 'worse' DCs just might be better with BYU's resources too instead of on a G5 Sun Belt team.

So you want BYU to hire someone who is statically worse than tuiaki but might

Cougzilla

Have you ever hired anyone? Obviously you don't just look at previous statistics. smh

Yes, previous statistics aren’t irrelevant. Agreed. Good luck.

Uh no. Not above average.

Why is it a bad metric?

This is a very biased take. The defense played well in plenty of games where the

Even going by your very narrow metrics, you're still wrong.

I Honestly don’t understand your point here.

Cougzilla

8/14/22 12:25pm

Just pointing out that by your metric set for the offense, our defense still wasn't good enough

ManicBlue

8/14/22 12:33pm

How many of those games that we weren’t good enough to win did we win?

Cougzilla

8/14/22 12:43pm

Not the point. We shouldn't have to rely on our offense to always win games.

ManicBlue

8/14/22 12:57pm

Sure in a perfect world both sides of the ball would be elite.

Cougzilla

8/14/22 1:15pm

I'm not asking for elite ... above average would be a nice start.

What counts as above average? 30-40 ranking? What stats are most important?
