That’s not me and several others. Criticism is warranted. I don’t want him fired
I want him to be better.

Trying to understand the ARod hate. BYU scored more points than any opponent

Bad play calling in the 2nd half against Baylor

I went back and rewatched the game. His play calling was fine. Aggressive even.

The worst play call was the third and 2 that resulted in a pick. That should

The play calling was fine, it was the execution that was the problem.

Tuiaki and Funk are gone, there has to be a new CB whipping boy.

So they didn’t deserve criticism?

Yeah I think CB criticism of those two coaches has held up extremely well

Yet there are dozens of Cougarboarders riding in like knights in shining armor

The point is BYU could be 5-0 and ranked and people would still be calling for

I don’t believe I was calling for him to be fired. But I was and am criticizing

Arod is not our weakest point at all.

BYU has the 2nd best Strength of Record. BYU is winning against tough teams.

That does not mean the offense has performed to par either. I love 5-0 and the

things like running 96% of the time on 2nd and long.

…and then throwing on 3rd and short when we need to run clock
cougarblue

And I believe that ended in interception.
BigHouse Coug
Sep 29, 10:24pm
I mean 96% of OCs do this to get to more manageable 3rd downs
B Blue
Sep 29, 10:06pm
I agree. Coaches are avoiding 3rd and 10. I think this is common.

Sep 29, 10:07pm
Fair point.

Sep 29, 10:11pm
Nice arbitrary number. He deserves criticism.
Helm Hammerhand
Sep 29, 10:21pm
You know the 96 percent was the from the poster that says we run on
NYCougz

My bad, I’ll take the L on that one. You are right.
Helm Hammerhand
Sep 29, 10:30pm
What percentage is it really? I’m curious what the average rate is of running
NYCougz

3 points in the 2nd half against Baylor - Complaints are about his tendencies after getting a nice lead.

Would have loved to have less injuries at lineman and RB.

Yes…prevent offense. That could be as much Kalani tho too.

Two underthrown trick plays that could have been TDs and a dropped basically TD

Stupid comment, a lot of fans know football.

What OC in our history hasn't gotten flak? That's human nature.
Genghis Spreads

I’m guessing most OCs get this treatment

Let's not let data cloud the conversation here. Stick with the approved narratives please
Bob Vance
Sep 29, 10:24pm
What data, like 3 points in the 2nd half? Is that the kind of data you speak of?
Helm Hammerhand
Sep 29, 10:28pm
So does Arod get super duper lots of credit for 31 points in the first half?
NYCougz
Sep 29, 10:31pm
Sure, but you’ve got to finish the game. That’s the rub, the first half showed
Helm Hammerhand

BYU is 74th in total offense and 119th in 3rd down conversion

Good data points but we showing progress on offense the last two weeks

I’ll agree their is progress, but still room for criticism. Constructive

No argument there. Everyone needs to step up play callers

I’m convinced that some on here would complain if BYU squeaked out an NC.

You’ve got blinders on. There’s always room for improvement and criticism.

Not blinders. Truth. There are many on CB that would still be complaining about
