11-2. Tied for first. Eliminated from the CCG by a tie breaker. Biggest bowl win since the '96 Cotton Bowl

I have said it before and I will say it again. What is the benefit of P2?

They believe they don't need anyone outside of their sphere

That is not a benefit. These guys want money, more of it. They want notoriety as being the

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

I don't think it's absurd to point out that on our free play he threw a wobbly duck straight into lil Sanders arms. How

Haysom Till

1:54pm

Well, you at least know you have everyone else's support but mine on this point

Indy Coug

1:57pm

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

it wasn't catchable by a BYU WR as the WR was interfered with, despite the lack of a DPI flag

Littlerich

1:51pm

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

thewaterboy

1:46pm

of course. red herring argument. It's that he is inaccurate, not that he took a downfield shot on a free play.

Haysom Till

1:56pm

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

It seems he wanted to make a hero throw and he needs to let the game come to him

Archaea

1:52pm

100%. I guess that is a gunslinger mentality.

Haysom Till

1:56pm

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.

Nothing I stated is made up. Again, objectivity can smack us in the face at times. I think we ended the season on such

Haysom Till

1:54pm

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

Salami Karate

Me too.

Haysom Till

1:46pm

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

JuicyJam

correct. He made the right decision to gamble when an INT doesn't hurt us. I'm 100% on board with that. It was just very

Haysom Till

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

Bob Vance

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

same speed and velocity on every throw. I think part of it is his throwing mechanics.

Haysom Till

1:49pm

It’s well documented that I am no Jake apologist but the INT on the offsides is

rivercitycoug

1:46pm

it was the correct call but doesn't negate that it was a wildly inaccurate throw, highlighting my point. He's not

Haysom Till

1:50pm

Ehhh, I will give you the INT is a problem, but for mostly two reasons...

ChinaFan

1:49pm

I've resigned myself to see Jake as an Academy QB. A few options, limited passing, keep the offense moving.

GfB

1:52pm

While I agree with a lot of that, Jake also saved them on many drives and plays.

Blew

1:53pm

Jake is a good QB. We are hoping he can take the next step to be a very good QB

mudpupper

I think the consensus assessment on Jake is that he isn’t an accurate passer. I agree with others that a deep ball shot

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

1:38pm

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

kimdaddy35

1:41pm

Bronco landed Jaren. Kalani landed Zach.

kimdaddy35

1:35pm

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

Coug

1:35pm

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

So Kalani is a micromanager, that's your position?

Coug

1:48pm

Being involved in recruiting stars = micromanaging.

shimmy

1:52pm

According to you

Coug

1:52pm

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

Meant to say trust. I’ve already spelled out the evidence. Detmer wanted his

Polecat

1:49pm

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

Coug

1:40pm

My point is I see people being inconsistent their opinions. If the offense is

Polecat

1:46pm

Or maybe the idea of responibility is highly nuanced, far beyond what the "Fire ARod" crowd thinks

SJS

1:48pm

It’s absolutely nuanced. Any head coach is allowed to divvy out responsibility

Polecat

1:50pm

Yes... Kalani choose to keep a failing coach in Tuiaki and Funk... that ultimately falls on Kalani's shoulders then...

Coug

1:51pm

Link to people who say "ARod can do no wrong"?

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

kimdaddy35

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

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
