Turnpike Lane CB Barometer

Nua coaches DL at USC. So'oto coaches LBs at Cal. Formerly coached DL at USC. Both are position coaches, so DC is an upgrade. Both BYU guys with solid coaching experience.

THere are guys should Sitake make the move.

If true then Lamb needs to go.

On the performance of ST alone, but this sills the dill if so

Was Tuiaki so bad he needed Lamb to take over? What exactly does Tuiaki do?

cougaman

10/6/22 12:30pm

Hire a real DC, get rid of Lamb if needed. Lamb’s ST are Yewt awe full, maybe he

I was never impressed with the Safeties he coaches as well. Is he over the LB

cougaman

Clune is over the LBs

Do they have an ILB and OLB coach though? Does lamb have any position he is

Lamb coaches safeties. When they hired Clune and moved Hadley to hybrids, Lamb

Who is more senior? DC or assistant HC?

10/6/22 12:35pm

For the defense? It should be the DC. If it's not, it's an indictment of the

cougaman

10/6/22 12:36pm

An assistant HC can be an DC but no way should an assistant head coach

kotacoug

10/6/22 12:40pm

Yep, makes no sense.

cougaman

10/6/22 12:49pm

and I thought it was stupid when people called for Tuiaki's head...

Hotlanta

10/6/22 12:41pm

If he can’t demand ownership of the Defense he should be fired.

kotacoug

10/6/22 12:44pm

Who says he can't? Rumors on a message board? Dubious third-hand accounts?

Hotlanta

10/6/22 12:50pm

Just based on the years he’s been here and the results we’ve seen we need

It says they collaborate, not that he’s been told what to do. He’s still the guy

Lamb is the one that brings a sense of organization to practice and workouts. Things were a mess before he took that.

FIRE EVERYONE!!!!

I don't think "we all" have been saying anything of the sort.

those 2 things make me irrationally angry when I watch games

Sure, if we knew the aggressive defense led to more losses. But there’s no way

Great i love the work Coach Lamb does

WallaX2

10/6/22 12:29pm

Which part: the sub average special teams or sub average defense?

maxpowers

10/6/22 12:32pm

Give him credit for identifying and developing raw DB talent

cajuncoug

10/6/22 5:37pm

Of course, Gilford was hired & developed by Lamb.

SinkingQuffa

10/6/22 10:08pm

If true, let Lamb play call as well and lets see what happens.

It's Kalani's scheme.

shoganai

10/6/22 1:43pm

So Kalani loves aggressive O and hates aggressive D?

CameronG

10/6/22 4:04pm

So Kalani isn’t the head coach?

Abe Froman

10/6/22 7:34pm

I think he'd love to have a more aggressive defense, but he's convinced we don't

shoganai

Well then we must believe you... Not... Go Cougs!!!

Kind of a weird take. Tuiaki can't shield himself from criticism by

I don’t know if it’s true. But I guess we’ll see. I’m skeptically optimistic

Who is the amazing DC all of the CB defensive geniuses want to bring in?! Kalani

Good names. Would love them as D-Line coaches. Not sure I would risk turning

sandiegocgrfan

10/6/22 3:58pm

Neither are coming to BYU in a lateral move. Gotta give a promotion if they're going to come.

Big Red Thunder

10/6/22 4:02pm

Give a promotion to a legit G5 experienced DC over any Position coach with

10/6/22 5:15pm

I would add Kelly Poppinga to that group, he was Co-DC at UVA and has more

10/6/22 4:08pm

Go find a Jeff Grimes for the defense. Make a list of up and coming

Bostonblue

No questions sir!

A big part of the recruiting issue is the scheme, it's not attractive for DL.

CameronG

If you don’t think the D linemen have been good enough after 7 yrs you have one

So you love giving up 200 yards on the ground to one of the worst teams in CFB.

According to CB, BYU is the only program in the nation where the HC doesn’t make any meaningful decisions — it’s always
