I’m shocked at how many likes this post has. What an eye roll by the OP.

So to be clear, your criticism of Tuiaki's defense is how much he publicly berates his players?

But getting in people’s faces isn’t what makes Saban great.Its the wins & losses

… which come as a result of him not settling for just winning.

What inside info do you have that Tuiaki doesn't hold his players accountable?

You and kccougar are really stuck on that part, which isn’t even the point.

"More often than not" that's just simply not close to true. That was a poor

And you are stuck on the second half of USF representing this whole season.

sidsie716

I am? This is a chronic criticism of Tuiaki.

Arizona and ASU were well called games.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Most disagree with you.

Ned Schneebly

9/27/21 4:37pm

Polls here from after those games would say otherwise

sidsie716

9/27/21 5:16pm

This is exactly the problem with your critique. It's false. I want you to do

Blueto

Holy pick and chose… ugh.

Ned Schneebly

9/27/21 4:49pm

It's the one example you used. If you want discussion on something else, give us more.

kccougar

And the talent.

What’s the old sports adage? Something like “you cannot win on talent alone”…

Tuiaki sucked on Saturday, plain and simple. I'm sure injuries, young players,

"Tuiaki sucked on Saturday" - I'd love for you to break that down for us.

"We rested injured starters" is not a good breakdown, but good try. We played a

Sock Gnome

And if they play like they did against Arizona, ASU, and Utah we will be fine

sidsie716

9/27/21 2:14pm

I'm not choosing anything as a representative sample except in saying that this

Sock Gnome

9/27/21 2:16pm

The most current example with half of our starters out on D. Won't be the case

HONOMO

9/27/21 2:19pm

I'm asking you to break it down b/c you're the one saying Tuiaki sucked.

HONOMO

9/27/21 2:17pm

No stops in the second half isn't a good breakdown? It's a heck of a better...

Sock Gnome

9/27/21 2:21pm

He sucks because he sucks isn't really a breakdown.

SoCalCoug

9/27/21 2:36pm

Ok see you at the game!

HONOMO

9/27/21 2:38pm

NO, that's a terrible breakdown. In fact, it's not a "breakdown" of any kind.

How about Florida A&M playing USF almost as tough as BYU on defense

BYU '80

9/27/21 2:13pm

USF's previous QB is not as good.

kccougar

9/27/21 3:09pm

First half was fine, even good at most points.

sidsie716

9/27/21 2:06pm

Byu doesnt create enough negative plays to get off the field.

BYU '80

9/27/21 2:14pm

They got off the field very well against Arizona and Utah

sidsie716

9/27/21 2:20pm

They created a lot of negative plays against those teams with asu helping with

BYU '80

9/27/21 2:26pm

Right, and I would never argue they looked good second half against USF

sidsie716

9/27/21 2:33pm

It wasn’t the 2nd half of the game though. Starting in Q2 USF moved the ball

Ned Schneebly

9/27/21 2:28pm

Would argue some of that, but regardless, my main point still stands

sidsie716

9/27/21 2:34pm

Did he really?

kccougar

9/27/21 2:23pm

Also Alden Tofa and George Udo got their first snaps of the season.

Blueto

9/27/21 2:40pm

Lol. Lots of coaches get in their players faces and suck. Nick Saban is great

Blueto

9/27/21 2:09pm

I think he also stated that "Many of those games were won by the defense.

Our coaches agree with this post
