probability of hiring someone worse.

Roll the dice I guess, but that could really not work out for us. As shown by the article I shared below — it usually doesn't work out for teams.

Y'all need to stop looking 4 scapegoats. ARod isn't the problem. He's a good OC

runnincoug

He's not a good OC. FIFY.

Nice argument. What's your evidence?

runnincoug

8:17am

Recruiting. Clock management. Game management. Situational awareness. Play calling. Execution. Player development.

Yeah let’s rehire Anae! He sent lots of guys to the NFL … oh wait

Why do BYU fans want to retread so many coaches? "If it's not our current guy, then it has to be the guy who coached

13 points against the worst defense they faced all year. 13.

You don't fire someone because of an off night. Yes they missed twice in the ...

KU took away its OC's playcalling and started winning games.

It has been much more than 1 off night. But continue to see it that way if you like.

foofcoug

8:40am

Two off nights. Before that we led the league in scoring (or were 2nd?)

I bring up Anae because he is a good comparison for what you would get from an

Nice argument, where's your evidence? Any actual data like I provided?

runnincoug

8:25am

The data you provided like attributing him to recruiting 2 guys he didn't? Just because it's data doesn't mean it's fact

foofcoug

8:27am

I've shared lots more data on this thread.

runnincoug

8:28am

There was also lots of data for keeping Tuiaki - giving up yards not points. Does mean he was a good DC or that BYU

ARod is the biggest thing holding the team back.

88Coug

8:14am

"holding us back?" We're 9-1. How common do you think that kind of record is?

runnincoug

8:19am

It is not because of him but in spite of him.

88Coug

8:20am

Who has he recruited himself? He doesn’t.

three straight NFL QBs for starters. Maybe he's great at finding lower rated

Zack and Jaren were both Grimes and Kalani.

Magneto

8:22am

ARod was the offensive consultant and passing game coordinator that recruited

runnincoug

8:25am

I believe it was Grimes, Kalani, and Fesi who went after him.

Magneto

8:32am

Arod was involved. he was offensive consultant in 2017 & then Wilson's QB coach

runnincoug

8:35am

ARod coached him correct. He did not recruit Wilson nor Hall.

Magneto

9:05am

He’s Tuiaki but for offense. There’s a reason teams aren’t trying to poach him. He needs to head to FCS where he belongs

byuTX

8:16am

That's just not true at all. Tuiaki's defenses were legit horrible. Our offense

runnincoug

8:18am

He should have been let go last year after a bottom 20 offense

byuTX

8:20am

If we had done that, we wouldn't be 9-1 this year, I guarantee that.

runnincoug

8:21am

We might have been 10-0

88Coug

8:26am

Wouldn’t have lost last night for sure

byuTX

He's not the reason we lost last night. We lost because:

How can you blame KS for not calling a timeout on a false start? He didn’t

Cougarite

9:31am

He shouldn’t have called a timeout on 4th and short only to then send out the FG team

byuTX

9:37am

I'd have to look at it again, but if it seems the offense is confused or rushing

runnincoug

9:43am

I would have to look at it again too. I just remember the entire line moving

Cougarite

If only we had a coach to coordinate this offense

We are 9-1 because of luck in spite of QB/coaching. Hard to say whether we would have the same luck again. D would

As an example, this data shows firing an OC usually doesn't help.

The offense hasn't played a complete game all season. They've been buoyed by defensive and special teams TDs and

Ludwig has had more success as an OC and has had to deal with a serious number of injuries last 2 seasons...

Coug

8:22am

And how did that work out for Utah, firing Ludwig twice?

runnincoug

8:23am

Made zero difference... Just like keeping ARod it's made zero difference

Coug

8:28am

Utah has a great defense and hasn’t gone 9-1 either of the last 2 years.

Now do all year. BYU is 21st in the country in red zone production.

We have no significant injuries to account for the bad trend at all... It's complacentcy...

So a coach who regresses to the mean is awful?

9:04am

Biggest thing holding Ludwig back is the same reason every other Utah OC left

LV Coug

8:31am

And I would hire Ludwig in a second over ARod.

Coug

8:38am

He’s average. He’s not awful, like some are saying. But he’s not great either. He has terrible and good games. Average

Statistically above average. I'll agree he's not exceptional. But not the reason
