I've heard speculation, but, if by chance it was accurate, seems like the wrong
choice to fire.

Why would we dump Harvey Unga as a RB coach?

Is he fired?

His brother has not said anything, nor have any of my sources.I think he stays

Why do we believe every rumor we hear...

On top of that, what more do you expect if you aren't going to open up

Huh? Running backs play offense.

Unga doesn't coach defense though, he's the RB coach.

Two years of stale recruiting. Which led to clearly the weak link in our offense

I think Brooks is one of the highest rated RB recruits of all time at BYU

will he return for a COVID senior year?
Corn Pop

He will if he wants to keep playing.

Brooks wasn't the problem. That he was so easily streamlined to RB1 &

Was he the Cal starter, or a Cal backup? You say both in your post.

He was as a Soph. Then lost the job.

They have? Seems we've had a solid running game for awhile.

This year? Not against good defenses. Depth was as much an issue as talent.

That is 100% Oline coaches fault. FULL STOP!

Because outside of TA and Jamal, we haven't developed any good RBs
RealTaysomHill
11/28/22 2:55pm
It’s cause good runningbacks are not developed. They just are. If you want good runningbacks, you need to recruit good

Yup, only HS coaches can develop good running backs.

Hahaha! Yep, some coach “developed” Barry Sanders. Funny how Barry’s own coaches never had anyone like him before or

BYU has had better running backs in the last 8 years than they have ever had

Squally Canada and Tyson Williams may disagree

….you know they were both transfers, right?
RealTaysomHill
11/28/22 6:57pm
And they were both recruited and developed at BYU.

I love Harvey, but can you name a stellar recruit that chose BYU because of him?
papencoug
11/28/22 2:57pm
This. I love Harvey. He’s an all timer but fans are dead wrong to judge a position coach based on the players abilities.
Zach Morris
11/28/22 3:01pm
You realize Harvey is only in his 3rd yr as RB coach right? Also, Steward and Mahe didn't exactly

Zach Morris
11/28/22 3:23pm
Again, he's only in his 3rd yr as RB coach too. Recruiting is part of it but
ManicBlue
11/28/22 3:30pm
That’s laughable. TA was an all American level runningback out of high school. All due respect to Harvey but he didn’t
Zach Morris
11/28/22 3:38pm
Bwahahahaha. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
ManicBlue
11/28/22 3:47pm
Haha! According to your logic he can grab any walk-on and make them Doak Walker caliber runners. Exactly how is that?
Zach Morris
11/28/22 3:55pm
SMH ... seriously? What part of THREE whole years as our RB coach do you not understand?

11/28/22 4:17pm
You need talent and you need coaching

Coaches are absolutely needle movers but they aren’t miracle workers which is exactly why they don’t just snag any male

Has ANYONE disagreed with recruiting being important? What windmill are you tilting at?
ManicBlue
11/28/22 6:03pm
Just countering your delusion that coaches create players like TA. They do not create them, they recruit them and then
Zach Morris
11/28/22 6:17pm
I didn't post that at all now did I?
ManicBlue
11/28/22 6:27pm
Yep. Harvey told him things that turned him from nothing to an nfl caliber RB. Be on the lookout, they grabbed a dude
Zach Morris
11/28/22 6:41pm
Kind of pointless to even have a discussion with you isn't it? smh

I'd be shocked as I think he's done a very good job.

How did brooks underperform? He averaged 6 1/2 yards per carry.
JOPE
11/28/22 3:08pm
Plus our run blocking just hasn't been very good - not Harvey's fault
Rhubarb
11/28/22 3:16pm
Agreed. It’s not Harvey’s fault when blocking isn’t great and not his credit when running backs have success either. His

Too bad the facts and your opinion are so far apart.

Too bad you offered nothing to refute my opinion.

The run blocking has been fine. PFF graded them out as #25 in the country this

Do we really know why any recruit picks a school?
StantonMac
11/28/22 3:24pm
Huh? You don’t think the relationship with the position coach is a huge reason?
