I think Arods a good OC but my biggest criticism - should’ve recruited better

Rhubarb

If he can make the same leap type of leap again this offseason...

Watching a slow A-Rod drive.

BigHouse Coug

2:44am

Yikes, Nick Howell/ UNM defense just got torched for 469 yds passing by a QB

Das_Countach

2:27am

Nick Howell - the gift that keeps on giving (up yards and TDs). Tis the season.

Emmett Fitz-Hume

2:41am

You can take the Bronco out of a defense, but you can't take the Nick Howell

HouseDeeking

It’s wild that Malzahn and Chip Kelly both gave up HC gigs to go back to OC

The season is over

Anyone else see Ryder Lyons there tonight? Thought I saw him in the background

Tuskaloosa Cougar

2:14am

SEC and Big Ten have too much influence and it’s going to destroy the sport

DodgerCoug

2:11am

Indiana is a prime example- they have played one ranked team and lost easily

acougfan

2:13am

We need to figure out how to fight back

VenomFarmer

3:31am

Iowa State with their first and only 10 win season in their program's history

acougfan

2:08am

They had a crazy come-from-behind win vs UCF at home. A late comeback win at...

COACHdrn

2:11am

So what was the thinking behind going for that last TD instead of kicking a FG?

spoxjox

2:07am

Just running out clock - didn’t need any style points

Jersey hunter

2:13am

We were only up by six. Not making the TD might give them the chance to score a

spoxjox

2:17am

It was third down, no? We didn’t go for it on fourth that drive

chilawcoug

2:19am

I thought you meant the end of game 4th down

Jersey hunter

2:22am

I thought it was fourth down and a silly gamble.

BigHouse Coug

2:47am

BYU's combined Bowl revenue from bowl games in Independence was probably around

HeismanTy

Why couldn’t Utah have finished off Iowa St last week? They had it!

andrewg3

1:59am

It’s Utah and they suck

BaseCoug

2:07am

Didn’t want to do anything to help BYU

Jersey hunter

2:14am

A I feel like we’ve only had a few injuries.

Revolution

1:55am

We definitely were fortunate this year with injuries

acougfan

1:58am

Keim went down

haYnCoug

2:04am

10-2 should absolutely be good enough to get a team into a championship game and

andrewg3

1:54am

Completely agree

Jericho

1:55am

Lots of divisions are unequal. Just look at Big 10 and the Pac-12 over the years

sportsbro

2:02am

Who knows, maybe some kind of pod system.

TerpCoug

2:06am

We would have been in the same division as ASU and would be in the same spot

nwcat

2:04am

Until like the 4 best teams in the conference are in one division

Rhubarb

2:21am

POLL: What was your favorite game of the season?

DanSmith

1:53am

I enjoyed watching KSU the most. I enjoyed the outcome of Utah the most.

Gorgias

2:25am

Be prepared to watch this team lose 5-6 games next year.

royal_blue

1:49am

This kind of reverse psychology doesn’t repeat from year to year I’m afraid

franklyvulgar

1:51am

I heard that last year.

andrewg3

1:51am

That’s what you said this summer. You were wrong then and you’re wrong now

Socrates Johnson

1:52am

I'll take each game as it comes

Belboz

1:54am

Bet against Kalani as the underdog at your own risk

vagabonder

2:03am

8-5 would be a nice floor in a P5

puntersarepeople

Thoughts on Jojo Philips?

sportsbro

He is gonna be good

Garn

He’s young. In college guys generally get better and not just older. Lots of

tkh9

1:49am

I have a sneaking suspicion Chase isn't going to like his projection NFL draft

HeismanTy

1:49am

I'm hoping that is the case. Chase stats aren't eye popping, so there's a...

sportsbro

1:52am

If that is the reason to come back, would you want to come back to an offense

Garn

1:53am

His stats are decent, but I assume he'd be a 6th or 7th round pick...

sportsbro

1:57am

I agree

Garn

2:07am

I want the best for Chase, but I don't know if entering the draft is the right

Jericho

1:52am

NIL in football is still nowhere close to NFL contracts. Most rookie contacts

Stopper6700

1:59am

lol you think chase is getting those contracts?

chilawcoug

2:07am

lol, duh. That is if you GET a contract and stay in the league

Jericho

2:10am

At Chase’s age, it’s not reasonable to expect any significant leaps in

StantonMac

2:12am

I hope you are right

Garn

1:52am

huge upside. i see him getting better and more reliable

mindzeYe

1:49am

Very raw talent. Maybe just needs more time.

The Y's Insider

1:50am

Can't pin that ASU game winner on him.

Jericho

1:50am

Can thank him for catching it.

AZcougLawyer

1:55am

I think he’s only been playing football for just a few years. Was mainly a bball

Das_Countach

1:52am

Good to know. Hopefully he makes a big improvement next year.

sportsbro

1:54am

He was a basketball player until he was a SR in high school

puntersarepeople

1:52am

I like him and will be a big contributor next year, esp if Roberts leaves. They

Blew

1:58am

He’s new to football and will improve

RenoCoug

2:04am

I’m just glad the honor code office hasn’t made him cut his great hair

RenoCoug

2:07am

The tempo MUST improve next year. That is my #1 criticism.

The Y's Insider

1:44am

Why?

Cosmo Kramer

1:45am

The offense does much better in rhythm and is very dependent on momentum, both

vagabonder

1:46am

I’d rank clock management improvement above tempo.

tkh9

1:45am

The increase in commercials has really affected the game for many teams. It has

Q-grr

1:50am

But they were 10-2

acougfan

1:45am

Defensive coordinators tend to like slow offenses more than OCs

puntersarepeople

1:46am

Sometimes tempo is great but miss a couple passes and it’s 3 and out

Blew

1:50am

Arod said JR plays his best in a 2 min O tempo

mindzeYe

1:50am

He also said you can’t play the two minute offense all game.

tkh9

1:52am

true

mindzeYe

1:54am

ARod has not put 3 QBs in the nfl. He was not the OC for Zach. He didn’t recruit

Garn

1:40am

Slovis didn't even fit his system

acougfan

1:41am

Kudos to you for celebrating a 10-win season by doing your best to discredit the

tkh9

1:42am

Thank you. Your ability to polish the turd of the exceptional offensive

Garn

1:46am

Our offense is 45th. We can’t go .500 with a 45th offense? lol

chilawcoug

1:54am

Right now we are 54th and nothing to brag about.

BigHouse Coug

2:08am

54th on what measure?

chilawcoug

2:13am

Total offense.

BigHouse Coug

2:15am

Oh heavens please no. Please don’t ever use total offense.

chilawcoug

2:17am

Please do tell what you go by then.

BigHouse Coug

2:20am

I use FEI. F+ is also a good option.

chilawcoug

2:24am

Either way I think it's reasonable for us to expect to do much better.

BigHouse Coug

2:29am

Maybe. I think there’s definitely room to improve. But objectively, ARod is the

chilawcoug

2:32am

Hard to celebrate 10-2 when BYU is 12-0 w/ a better OC

Das_Countach

1:48am

Is the better OC is the room with you now?

chilawcoug

1:54am

No.. need to find a legit p4 OC. Arod was a budget independence era hire

Das_Countach

2:04am

No it isn’t. It’s actually really really easy.

Socrates Johnson

1:57am

Easy for fans that are content w/ mediocrity

Das_Countach

2:03am

lol. 10-2 in the second year in a P4 is not mediocrity. Too bad you can’t enjoy

Ozymandias

3:29am

With better OC, we are in the CCG. We will never be elite with Arod. He is a

indocoug

1:53am

4-8 or 5-7 with the 45th ranked offense? That would be sad, indeed.

chilawcoug

2:01am

Are you looking at 2020's offense against a high school schedule? We played one

indocoug

2:15am

No. 2021. Surprised, given how condescending you have been across many threads

chilawcoug

2:17am

2021 We had the 28th ranked offense against the 54th strongest schedule.

indocoug

2:43am

What measure are you using?

chilawcoug

2:44am

Ben Criddle is pretty adamant Arod was OC in 2020 FWIW

puntersarepeople

1:42am

He called most of the plays, wasn’t technically OC, was QB coach, not sure how

1:48am

Something something John Beck while pretending no other QB in America gets

chilawcoug

2:03am

Wut

LaVellIfIKnow

1:44am

I didn't think it could happen, but we've passed Eagles fans in negativity

Belboz

1:45am

Yeah he was only the QB coach for Zach. Def shouldn’t get any credit.

chilawcoug

1:54am

John Beck was Zach’s QB coach.

Garn

1:56am

lol he spent 10x the time that John Beck did. But it does conveniently fit the

chilawcoug

1:59am

The actual amount of time of ARod vs Beck is 20-1, Beck is a great technical

2:03am

John Beck had much more to do with Zach's development than ARod

acougfan

1:56am

You have no idea and that contradicts Zach’s own comments about ARod.

Socrates Johnson

1:58am

But it conveniently fits the narrative

chilawcoug

1:58am

Believe what you want

acougfan

I can see you’re taking your own advice, facts (like Zach’s own statements) be

Powerbait DPM

Ryan could use it for NHL Stadium series games

TouchdownCougars

They won’t, and it’s why public funds should never be used for NFL stadiums

BaseCoug

1:55am

Could it be used for tunnel singing?

Cosmo Kramer

Good luck biden is MIA

Lassiter all bur disappeared the last 3 games.

The Y's Insider

1:34am

It felt like he dropped too many at the end of the season- He will be legend

acougfan

1:36am

Had some unbelievable catches and drops this year 😳

Zip

1:37am

Two point conversion vs ASU. A few key plays.

BlackBart

1:37am

Your boss told me the same about you these past three weeks. Good thing he

BlackBart

1:38am

Very weird comment. LOL

The Y's Insider

1:40am

He and Retzlaff seem to be hot/cold w/ each other

Das_Countach

1:39am

Yeah, been that way all year. But way more cold than hot lately.

The Y's Insider

1:40am

Agree… I think that’s what’s causing his reduced production

Das_Countach

1:46am

The number of huddles breaking at the play clock 10 second mark was infuriating

Ten_Hour_Drives

1:34am

I think it was part of the plan. Don’t let defense adjust

Powerbait DPM

1:36am

Sounds like a stupid arod tactic

Ten_Hour_Drives

1:38am

He has a lot of those. Line up and play ball

Garn

1:41am

Except when we wanted to milk the clock.

Cosmo Kramer

1:36am

Drove me crazy

acougfan

1:36am

Does BYU match USUs likely offer to JH?

Ten_Hour_Drives

1:33am

Yes, it just depends on if he wants to be a head coach.

cougarfann888

1:33am

His stents say no

Ten_Hour_Drives

1:34am

I would say if Weber state had matched byu financially

cougarfann888

1:36am

I really can’t see Hill taking that job, especially w/ how much improvement he’s

Das_Countach

1:35am

I would not be surprised if Holmoe said “go get an offer so I can pay you”

Powerbait DPM

1:36am

Agree. Be awkward if he took the job lol

Ten_Hour_Drives

Is it guaranteed to be the Rental Car bowl, or the Diabetes bowl?

cougarfann888

1:42am

The Alamo Bowl has an 8 million dollar payout, Pop-Tart bowl 6 million payout.

HeismanTy

1:26am

It all gets split by the big xii though

Huge Manatee

1:27am

for sure, but better than splitting 800,000K with the MWC

HeismanTy

1:28am

I believe a big time bowl is 20 million these days, correct?

Bob Vance

1:27am

I don't see any payouts that much.

BigHouse Coug

1:30am

no, the highest last year was 12 million

HeismanTy

1:30am

Is that total or per team?

Bob Vance

1:36am

thats total 6 per team...for the semi final

HeismanTy

1:41am

It’s $4M per playoff team plus $3M for expenses for the first two rounds and $6M for the last two rounds.

Cougar Jazz Fan

1:40am

It all goes to the conference. It's not like independent years where

cougarfann888

1:28am

I know, we also have 9 bowl eligible teams.

HeismanTy

1:33am

Since Colorado and asu are tied into pac bowls does pac still

cougarfann888

1:37am

also the payouts for the bowls we played in was like 500,000k

HeismanTy

1:58am

Are the $$$ split evenly, or do the participating teams get a greater share?

Emmett Fitz-Hume

2:44am

To the negative Nancy in section 134, Row 18… you made the game less enjoyable…

Do you mean Colorado? Or Alamo Bowl if ASU loses to ISU in the CCG?

Japan Coug

1:24am

He said ASU (if they lose the CCG)

The Y's Insider

1:25am

It would be weird to play a team twice, and for it to be a conference mate too.

Japan Coug

1:25am

Rematch in a bowl game should be banned

The Y's Insider

1:27am

Didn’t we do that with UCLA one year?

Das_Countach

Honestly wouldn't mind. I'd like a rematch with them.

AZcougLawyer

Why would anyone think that is a valuable pairing? Just more big12 beating up on itself. We should be playing them in

Hope not. Conference game rematches should be avoided in bowl games.

cougarfan84

Would much rather play Colorado, but wouldn't mind an ASU rematch. At this point
