I was worried that NIL would destroy BYU sports. I was wrong. Turns out NIL will

POLL: If BYU were to be in the SEC or Big10, and lets take this years team, but predict what the 3rd year of membership would look like. In other words, where would BYU rank in the conference?

Jake is such a like-able guy and we were 11-2, so hard to critique... but we must. 4 INTs in that game. Stay with me....

Getting mad about an offsides INT is hilarious lol

arcawley

1:42pm

I'm not mad. I'm being objective.

Haysom Till

1:43pm

For that particular play, you're being objectively absurd

Indy Coug

1:43pm

He doesn’t throw that without the offsides

maxpowers

1:44pm

of course. but his throw was so horrible. wasn't catchable by any of our guys and was catchable by CU.

Haysom Till

1:45pm

We should've been mad if he didn't taken that shot downfield

thewaterboy

1:46pm

I am taking the positive road, TNT note please, and believe he will improve.

Archaea

1:42pm

I hope so as well. We didn't feel the pain of the INTs this year as much cuz our team was better overall, but he ended

Haysom Till

1:44pm

Sorry, you don’t get to count an INT on an offsides call when he was taking a shot that was not the play call.

mulletino

1:42pm

Officially he had 2. We can bury our head in the sand and pretend he is an accurate passer.

Haysom Till

1:43pm

Or we can make stuff up to try and support our point.

Ozymandias

1:44pm

Yes, the only reason it wasn't close was Chase was trying to sell a PI call. Definitely not on Retzlaff

On a free play I'd much rather the QB throw a deep interception than throw a

Nobody is mad he took a deep shot. But it seemed way off.

JuicyJam

Something was up with that pass on the free play.

My biggest thing with Jake is to figure out 2 things. How/when to throw the end zone fade, and more selectivity when

My biggest thing for him in the off-season would be to learn some touch. I've never seen a college QB

Please please ARod land a big QB

TNT

1:26pm

Kalani*

shimmy

1:27pm

Cause ARod has nothing to do with it. LOL

Coug

1:30pm

Of course he has something to do with it, but people are pretending this isn't a Kalani thing.

shimmy

1:31pm

That's because Kalani isn't going anywhere

TNT

1:32pm

So that means the buck doesn't stop with him anymore?

shimmy

1:34pm

As of now he can't be replaced. ARod can

TNT

1:35pm

So that explains why you want to blame Arod, but has nothing to do with shifting the actual responsibility.

shimmy

1:37pm

Kalani does take some of the blame for sure

TNT

1:37pm

So did Kalani not land Zach, or Jaren? Because Kalani holds the same position

Polecat

1:33pm

Kalani gets credit for those.

shimmy

1:35pm

To most of us reasonable people, yes. I do think there are some who are

Polecat

Kalani was integral in landing Zach. I said this when I was being

Bronco landed Jaren. Kalani landed Zach.

kimdaddy35

ARod is the OC and pseudo QB coach... his responsibility is recruiting QB's

Then of course there’s the fact they Retzlaff is a recruiting win for Arod, for

Polecat

1:42pm

It's almost like you have no idea how a D1 program recruits

SJS

1:43pm

It's so weird how people blame the OC but not the HC for recruiting issues

SJS

1:32pm

Kalani is more likeable and they're already crying about Arod so it is a time saver.

shimmy

1:33pm

If you go to the recruit sites... it shows the coach that is recruiting each individual...

Coug

1:36pm

Maybe you've just got an axe to grind?

SJS

1:38pm

LOL. As if that means anything

shimmy

1:38pm

If Kalani has to hold ARod's hand to get a QB... I guess it's Kalani's fault then

Coug

1:41pm

Kalani has to be involved and the closer on any big recruit- including anyone imminently slated to be starting QB.

shimmy

1:44pm

Well let’s follow the pattern here. Kalani is head coach the entire time.

Polecat

1:37pm

You think OCs offer kids without the HC's input?

SJS

1:39pm

No I don’t think that. I do think Kalani trusts his assistants and ultimately

Polecat

1:42pm

Link to this "evidence"?

SJS

1:44pm

If an assistant coach is failing in his recruiting duties... than Kalani takes the heat for keeping that assistant coach

kimdaddy35

1:31pm

Recruiting QBs is definitely a HC job. At least it is with every other program

kimdaddy35

1:31pm

At the very least it is Kalani's job to get the $$$ to get the QB. And BYU is gonna have to overpay to get a star away

shimmy

1:36pm

Yes that is the very least. When I spoke to a couple of big time recruits that chose other programs

kimdaddy35

1:38pm

Kalani has to be intricately involved with Ryder Lyons. If not he should just abandon ship. (I absolutely believe he is)

shimmy

1:40pm

Agreed. Lyons is a program changing type of talent. If you are running the program then

kimdaddy35

If he isn't he should resign. He has to be. We also are at a major disadvantage. If we were P2 I'd almost be willing to

How to fix the college substitution issue. Give the defense 10 seconds to match
