I don't think ARod is an elite coordinator ... I see his flaws just like y'all do. But I think he's a solid, good coordinator. Elite is hard to find in a coach, and what we have with ARod is pretty good.

Consider:
- This year BYU is 6th in the conference in team scoring offense (and only 2 points away from 4th place), despite having the #2 SOS toughest schedule in the country.
- He's coached four QBs into the NFL (Zach and Travis Wilson, Kedon Slovis, and Jaren Hall). How many OCs can say that? In total, as an OC, he's helped 18 players get into the NFL (utah + BYU)
- It's clear to me, but maybe not to everyone, that these guys are largely in the NFL due to ARod's schemes for them. Zach was drafted way too high, relative to his talent, IMO. That's a different conversation, but there were some ways that ARod schemed differently for both Zach and Jaren that showcased their strengths, while minimizing their weaknesses, and he's doing it again with Retzlaff.

I'm not pretending ARod is elite, as I mentioned, and sure it'd be awesome to have Kellen Moore or Darell Bevell as OC. But if they aren't wanting to jump to the college ranks, and not knowing who else Holmoe might have on his futures list ... then ARod is solid. He takes way too much flack on CB from people who want to blame someone for BYU not scoring as much as we did in the Wacky WAC of yore. That's not modern day football unless you are Oregon, Georgia, Texas, or Oklahoma. Most good teams are just trying to grind out enough points to win vs. really tough defenses.

I think ARod, while not perfect, is doing fine.
