I haven't been this upset with coaching in a long time.

The Y's Insider

Nov 18, 11:05am

Fade route and option were both audible. Both coach and player deserve some

BYUheaven

Nov 18, 11:07am

It was an audible but maybe he was coached to audible into that play if there

MaximusMeridius

Nov 18, 11:37am

Do our TE’s ever get double covered?

BYUheaven

Nov 18, 12:20pm

7 in box. 1 on 1 fade. If good throw then ok one way or ither

niqmadu

Nov 18, 4:27pm

That throw is incredibly difficult for any QB

MaximusMeridius

Nov 18, 5:26pm

Well, maybe. But maybe not, since many qbs do it well, including JR in past gam

niqmadu

Nov 18, 6:06pm

you mean in Yewt game where he threw the pic on the same play for the 2 point?

imdocrob

Nov 18, 9:21pm

1000% this ^^. The fade is low percentage even with an elite QB-TE combo

Cougulator

Nov 18, 7:02pm

The correct throw on that play was to any of the WRs on the left side of the

BYUHgrad

Nov 18, 7:02pm

Not true..on Arod show today he said he called the fade cause it worked well in

imdocrob

Nov 18, 9:19pm

I bet it hasn't really been that long.

shoganai

Nov 18, 11:07am

link?

The Y's Insider

Nov 18, 11:08am

Were you happy with the coaching in the previous 9-0 run? If not, maybe consider

Socrates Johnson

Nov 18, 11:08am

So you liked our strategy to eat clock?

The Y's Insider

Nov 18, 11:10am

Answer my question and I will answer yours.

Socrates Johnson

Nov 18, 11:11am

The Y's Insider

Nov 18, 11:16am

I think the answer below is my answer. We were getting almost 5 YPC and pass pro

Socrates Johnson

Nov 18, 11:23am

Also I think it is worth saying that anyone would have thought going in we could

Socrates Johnson

Nov 18, 7:34pm

We ran the ball effectively and got first downs. If we would have broke off

NYCougz

Nov 18, 11:13am

If the defense gives you 4-5 yards per play on a drive, you take it

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 18, 11:13am

when you aren't putting points on the board, you have to move off it

stansburycoug

Nov 18, 2:53pm

There has been a vocal contingent on this board w/coaching concerns all along

reddead

Nov 18, 12:07pm

I don't care that we are 9-1 Arod is a bad coach. He has more years of bad coach

Grock

Nov 18, 2:01pm

I remember fans calling for Chow's head... because he was a 'bad coach'.

Benfica1

Nov 18, 2:10pm

Was that back when he was Lavell's WR coach but later claimed he was QB coach?

Les IsMore

Nov 18, 6:15pm

I thought this before this year. I've moved off of bad coach. He's an ok coach

stansburycoug

Nov 18, 2:59pm

I agree. He's a solid coach for a middle of the pack Big XII team

reddead

Nov 18, 3:06pm

No, I was not

baller_jayz

Nov 18, 12:19pm

irrelevant take.

Love Cougs

Nov 18, 3:01pm

Do you think we were trying to run out the clock or just taking what the defense

NYCougz

Nov 18, 11:11am

We routinely snapped the ball with 2-4 seconds on the play clock.

The Y's Insider

Nov 18, 11:12am

And sometimes more. We aren’t a hurry up offense.

NYCougz

Nov 18, 11:14am

Shortening the game invites more luck/variability into the outcome. If Kalani is

royal_blue

Nov 18, 11:11am

Because something happens, that doesn’t mean it was our strategy.

NYCougz

Nov 18, 11:16am

If people have a link to this being a strategy

NYCougz

Nov 18, 11:35am

So there's this thing called a play clock. The more seconds that go by between

royal_blue

Nov 18, 11:58am

So when we threw 50 yard bombs in the first half

NYCougz

Nov 18, 12:47pm

We ran clock. Deliberately. Idk how to put it more simply than that.

royal_blue

Nov 18, 12:56pm

You are saying we wanted less possessions to shrink the game.

NYCougz

Nov 18, 1:06pm

Look at how many seconds elapsed off the play clock when it was running vs

royal_blue

Nov 18, 2:36pm

So if we speed up 2 seconds that might add 2 minutes?

NYCougz

Nov 18, 2:42pm

I see you have trouble understanding what an average is.

royal_blue

Nov 18, 3:56pm

No I understand it. I think is what you are missing

NYCougz

Nov 18, 5:15pm

“Kalani has deployed this many times, more often than not.” 🤷‍♂️

royal_blue

Nov 18, 5:56pm

We are methodical. This is who we have been. It’s not a special new strategy

NYCougz

Nov 18, 6:10pm

It might be mercy that we lost the game and will miss the playoffs, could you

CameronG

Nov 18, 11:27am

That was the gameplan I might expect vs. Alabama or Georgia.

The Y's Insider

Nov 18, 11:37am

They'd get blown off the field with that gameplan

CameronG

Nov 18, 11:40am

We beat SMU, we could beat those teams. Kalani has a descent bowl record

NYC and Japan

Nov 18, 12:51pm

No way, if Kalani and Co got so scared of playing 3-6 Kansas at home that they

CameronG

Nov 18, 1:26pm

They were scared? What does that mean?

NYCougz

Nov 18, 1:35pm

Yes they were scared at the thought of getting blown out so they went super

CameronG

Nov 18, 1:53pm

How many games have we been scarred?

NYCougz

Nov 18, 1:59pm

That's a good question for them, but based on the way the team played and the

CameronG

Nov 18, 2:10pm

So how many games scared? It just started this game?

NYCougz

Nov 18, 2:13pm

Running the ball in the redzone isn't a bad idea I more have an issue with the

CameronG

Nov 18, 2:28pm

I don’t like the jet sweep at all on second down as well

NYCougz

Nov 18, 2:36pm

Play calling on the last drive wasn't as bad as I originally thought.

runnincoug

Nov 18, 11:16am

I agree. I wanted us to throw on 2nd down, but hindsight is 20/20.

The Y's Insider

Nov 18, 11:18am

yes, agreed. As Chase said, we played with fire too much.

runnincoug

Nov 18, 11:23am

Slow-developing option to the boundary side... SMH

reddead

Nov 18, 12:09pm

Funny, I thought it was brilliant to eat clock and keep their strength (Daniels

SV72 Sale

Nov 18, 11:17am

With how the game had been going, I found it unwise to waste so much clock.

Yucatan

Nov 18, 11:22am

I think the plan at HT was to dominate in the trenches

NYCougz

Nov 18, 11:29am

I might agree except we ran nearly 40 seconds between each snap.

The Y's Insider

Nov 18, 11:35am

We have done that a lot this season.

NYCougz

Nov 18, 11:37am

No. Don't get cute. Score and turn it to the D.

Love Cougs

Nov 18, 3:04pm

That’s hardly getting cute. That’s what most coaches strive to do

SV72 Sale

Nov 18, 3:24pm

I think it was late, they were tired and cold, and just wanted to get to bed

Mitty

Nov 18, 11:40am

I agree that shortening the game (from the start) was not a great plan...

Benfica1

Nov 18, 11:43am

Seems as though coaching has lost confidence in the offense, specifically

notsofast

Nov 18, 11:43am

Fade route was the correct call, given the defensive look

Homo Erectus

Nov 18, 11:53am

That's just not true. A fade route is among the highest difficulty throws in FB.

Ferb

Nov 18, 12:31pm

We were gashing them in the run game. WHY THROW THE BALL????

Rocketman

Nov 18, 1:49pm

Quite the overreaction. I have been far more upset with our coaches decades

Cougz19

Nov 18, 12:12pm

Well Grimes is on the other side which may have played a factor in our scheme

ElkaholicCoug

Nov 18, 12:44pm

Do you think ARod should have considered Kansas’s elite secondary?

conetah

Nov 18, 12:58pm

Don't let it ruin your day. It's just sports.

IronPotato

Nov 18, 1:01pm

Why the whole slow play on offense was such a dumb game plan

byublue42

Nov 18, 1:38pm

So true, we're not a team itching to blow the opponent out - but...

BYUFootballRocks1

Nov 18, 1:42pm

Kalani = DAWG Jay = DAWG Poppinga = DAWG

baller_jayz

Nov 18, 1:51pm

Much easier to just accept who BYU is. It is difficult to be disappointed for

indocoug

Nov 18, 2:16pm

This is just who Arod is folks

runningryan

Nov 18, 2:32pm

You are so right

I'mBatman

Nov 18, 2:33pm

I'm frustrated, but it is really difficult to be detailed or accusatory in my

QBarrister

Nov 18, 3:53pm

A take that is far too reasonable and measured for this board...

reddead

Nov 18, 4:01pm

How do we know that Kalani didn't tell him to shorten the game?

dYrtbYkerYder

Nov 18, 4:29pm

That's the problem, he DOESN'T seem to learn from these.

cougar95

Nov 18, 4:35pm

I do not blame coach at all for the fade throw. If he throws accurate and gets

MrSandman

Nov 18, 5:48pm

Have you ever seen Jake throw a fade successfully near the goal line?

stansburycoug

Nov 18, 7:38pm

You forgot 10 men on the field for Kansas first TD

PastyGangsta

Nov 18, 6:30pm

If coaching is so bad how are we 9-1?

Pretorian

Nov 18, 6:59pm

Y insider is a fool.

Hammer15

Nov 18, 8:39pm

Well, get over it. We have a game to win Saturday
