Good grief. ARod's playcalling is great! And FTR, in between jobs at Utah/BYU,

he spent the time studying offenses from around the country and doing his own in-depth professional development. He retooled his coaching quite a bit during that time. He's not sitting around, lazily not trying to improve.

BYU's Aaron Roderick armed with new offensive insight

After being fired, former Ute offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick passed up job offers to spend a year recovering, while also studying offenses around the country to improve his coaching skills. Now he's ready for a new challenge at BYU.

He’s ok.Not sure I’d say great.Which OC would CB like him to learn from?

The moral is, recruit smart/teachable players. After a certain level of athleticism/size, smarts are more important.

I remember him once saying that Whittingham would send him and other assistant

Sounds like CB would like him to keep getting tips from Ludwig

He's doing well as the OC. Critics have unrealistic expectations of an OC

12/29/24 9:20pm

Sure. I agree. But my point is, he can grow and training will speed growth.

Dr MoBYU

12/29/24 9:24pm

Do you really think he doesn't do that?

12/29/24 9:26pm

Yeah, someone should alert the college football coaching profession about this

You read a lot into things. Anyway, which clinics does he go to? I’m am

I don't fault Arod for his playcalling.

Is he? What is it that he's not doing that he should be doing now that he's in

There are multiple factors

As nice as it would be to see BYU land higher ranked QB’s, that’s really not the

Again he's a great coach and that's his reason for his success.

12/29/24 10:35pm

If I were a betting man, I’d bet that he’ll get one eventually. Probably sooner

Polecat

12/29/24 10:41pm

That's what has made it so frustrating to see our QB room look the way it does

12/29/24 10:46pm

ARod convinced Slovis to come to BYU--9th ranked QB in the portal that year.

You have not answered my questions. You are avoiding actually answering.

Who should be at BYU that isn’t? And why should they be at BYU?

It takes a lot of nil to land top rated QBs

I'm not really asking for "top rated" QBs

You could look at Utah's qb recruiting on paper and think they have recruited

Utah recruits much better than Arod for QBs

It's not a train of negativity but rather just being subjective
