Yes, Jake did make the wrong read

But he is Jake's position coach as well as OC. How many times does Jake have to make the wrong read in that situation before ARod realizes that is where Jake struggles and he stops putting Jake in that situation?

That is what I am talking about when it comes to knowing your personnel and implementing and utilizing them the right way.

ARod is a great play designer and schemer. I have heard that from multiple people I trust. So you will get no argument from me on that point, but that is only one aspect of being a good coordinator.

Some of you guys are WAY WAY too hard on your offensive coordinator

Jake was the bigger issue last night

BYUnerd

We’re too hard on our OC? You guys just ran yours out of the program.

Our offense is just so so so bad

Medute

Nov 17, 10:42am

I would agree with you. Arod designs a good offense. My issue is with the

We actually have expectations on offense

Dryfire

Nov 17, 10:42am

Right, but the issue is why are those expectations not being met

Medute

Nov 17, 10:44am

The 2 point conversion attempt against Utah was enough to show ARod deserves the

Nov 17, 10:47am

How do you explain 2 touchdowns last 2 games.

I only watched the first half of last night in details so can't comment

Medute

Nov 17, 10:45am

The fade play was absolutely a bad

BYU71

Nov 17, 10:49am

It’s quite possible they have executed that play very well in practice

Medute

Nov 17, 1:57pm

He did the same thing last week against the Utes. Did you not watch?

Nov 17, 2:34pm

I buried that game in the depths of my mind

Medute

Nov 17, 3:04pm

You want to take him back?

foofcoug

Nov 17, 10:43am

I would take him in a heartbeat right now

Medute

Feel free.

Our QB has had two really rough outings. Saturday was bad.

You can't help yourself can you, seriously though, it was about as bi-polar

He's not wrong.

On your point 1 and point 2

Medute

Nov 17, 11:26am

You dont throw the fade with Retzlaff..he has no touch. Its as bad a call

stansburycoug

Nov 17, 11:37am

I agree with this post. Well designed offense. And most of the issues were with

He is doing it with players who were projected to finish last in conference

Two things that bother me that have killed us this season:

crazY

Nov 17, 12:58pm

This makes sense. Issue is player execution

Resurgens

Nov 17, 5:42pm

Just look at your recruiting rankings and projections

Medute

Nov 17, 5:53pm

I suspect we will need to start recruiting better to have staying power in the

Resurgens

Nov 17, 5:56pm

Yep. Although I tend to think this conference will be pretty equal in talent

Medute

Nov 17, 6:04pm

The problem with your post, is ARod is also the QB Coach

slatecoug

Nov 17, 6:42pm

But what if Ratzliff isn’t good? Is that ARod’s fault?

Medute

Nov 17, 6:45pm

It's still his fault. He put Jake in positions where Jake has shown he struggles

slatecoug

Nov 17, 6:48pm

Has any coach ever found a way to avoid all bad situations for an average QB?

Medute

Nov 17, 7:08pm

Retzlaff missed terribly on the fade route the week before, so you give him that

slatecoug

Nov 17, 7:13pm

I’m no expert but someone said Retzlaff called that play and made the read

Medute

Nov 17, 7:15pm

The play call came in from ARod. It's a play that gives Jake multiple options...

slatecoug

Nov 17, 7:24pm

I see. It seems Jake made the wrong read but there is criticism for the player

Medute

Nov 17, 7:28pm

If Retzlaff isnt that good thats doubly ARods fault

stansburycoug

Nov 17, 7:34pm

Recruiting is a fair criticism. But BYU hasn’t let the football team pay the QBs

Medute

Nov 17, 7:46pm

BTW, if you go back and watch the Kansas D, it was almost like they knew what

slatecoug

Nov 17, 7:06pm

I wonder if BYU is trying to use too many players. So that when personnel groupings come in it is tipping off what type

Spiff

Nov 17, 7:07pm

I believe that is a big part. I also think BYU needs to do some self scouting.

slatecoug

Nov 17, 7:11pm

I do agree with you that ARod is very good at play design, but that is only one

slatecoug

Nov 17, 7:15pm

I think he called a nearly perfect first 30 minutes

Medute

Nov 17, 7:19pm

Retzlaff is not calling plays. He's being given a play that has multiple options

slatecoug

Nov 17, 7:25pm

Ok. But he made the wrong read and there was a guy open on that play

Medute

Nov 17, 7:30pm

Yes, Jake did make the wrong read

slatecoug

Nov 17, 8:14pm

I get it. But you can only protect a mediocre player so much

Medute

Nov 17, 8:37pm

I agree with some of that, but when you are the guy responsible for recruiting &

Thanks for taking a break from running the Big 12 to tell us

Gotta watch something other than our dumpster fire

Medute

Nov 17, 10:27pm

Appreciate the insights and kind words. Thank you!

Nov 17, 9:21pm

You can have all the beautiful play design in the world, but if your guys can't execute them, it doesn't matter one bit

jaromp

Nov 17, 10:11pm

Right. But perhaps it’s just a matter of who gets the blame
