KU got better after taking away playcalling duties from Grimes. He hasn't

called the offense in the wins.

I saw an Sark interview earlier this season. Sark said game prep was analytics these days, but playcalling is an art, a creative function to adapt in the game for what is working.

You "Fire ARod" people are nuts.

IronPotato

BYU can do better. ARod is blah and would have been fired elsewhere.

88Coug

8:42am

...wouldn't necessarily be fired, but BYU is by far his best option, which says

Das_Countach

Arod is mid. He needs help in the running game greatly.

Idacoug

8:44am

Would you say we have some of the more talented RBs in the Big12?

Corn

8:48am

Arod isn't in charge of shaping the RB and OL rooms?

vegas guey

9:01am

We aren't getting Gordon, Neal, Giddens, Brooks, Harvey, etc.

Corn

9:14am

We should be able to get guys like that for at least a year. RBs want carries.

Don’t know if we need to move on or not from Arod but the argument of ‘who else

kotacoug

I believe that is correct. ☝️

IronPotato

As much bad CB doesn’t want to admit it… the jury is still out on Hill

Pretorian

You can say that about 95% of defensive coordinators in the country

jes2332

The biggest problem that I have with Arod is he has not hit yet on recruiting

BYUheaven

8:45am

You make a great point. That is troubling.

kotacoug

8:50am

The majority of QBs drafted last year had transferred during college.

wjman11

8:59am

If we want to pony up the NIL money to get the top QB transfer in the portal

BYUheaven

9:07am

If you recruit and develop a HS qb that ends up being good you’re gonna have to

wjman11

9:20am

We have never had a year like this. I know you gray-hairs think it was awesome

Corn

8:46am

Don't discount the success of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. AR is trash in comparison

88Coug

8:54am

Remind me how many seasons we had 2 losses or less? Assuming we beat Houston

Cougarite

Corn just wants everyone to clam up and reverently partake of BYU Football.

BlueFever

I want you to enjoy the freaking journey. You whiny children!

Corn

9:23am

This might be the saddest take on BYU football I've ever heard

HRCougar

9:14am

I'm not totally a grey hair yet, but I have a very clear recollection of the 80s

gwalker

Don't ever use the term "coogies" ever again

Loyal2Royal

Arod is why BYU has 2 losses instead of 11-0 rn

Send an email and share with the group. You could end up saving our program.

I agree. ARod has his flaws..but that is how it goes with everyone. Fire OC afte

ARod is no Norm Chow

beefytee

8:49am

Yep, I wanted him fired for replacing Shoemaker with Feterik.

2FarGone

8:50am

Norm was not as good as those that came prior to him.

88Coug

8:55am

Really? He was calling plays since 82

braddahmike

9:09am

Chow had run his course, as has Arod

vegas guey

8:56am

Just because Norm Chow is Chinese?

GoodGuyGary1

Identity theft is not a joke Jim!

Coug

8:53am

You took the under on BYU 4.5 wins this year.

Corn

9:01am

100% I did... and 100% I want ARod to go... there is a mountain of evidence for it to happen

Coug

9:14am

You need to consider the fact that you'll never be happy with BYU football.

Corn

9:19am

I get it's fun to say I'm always negative... I get it... I am loudly negative here

Coug

9:36am

I know you do... and sorry to get personal.

Corn

9:42am

I don't know if I deserve merit... I'm a weenie here... I get it

Coug

9:59am

Sad you want to keep all the coaches but then say we won't have another year

Blue for Life

9:39am

Hiring a left over Yewt should have triggered alarm bells to begin with

runningryan

12:17pm

I say demote him to QB coach or passing game coordinator.

BlueFever

8:58am

Fans wanted Chow fired too

Belboz

9:01am

Was probably the best thing for his career

Coug

9:18am

BYU runs essentially the same offensive system as Utah

MyTwoCents

9:26am

Problem was we didn't have the D to run that system until this year.

Blue for Life

9:42am

I bet you were saying the same thing about Tuiaki

WillsPitStop

11:27am

Nope. I was totally in the fire Tuiaki crowd. We had bad defense and weren't

IronPotato

Grimes has proven that he's still a great OC. He's put up 3 back to back to back wins against the best teams in the B12.

greatbam

11:47am

Why didn’t he work out at Baylor???

niqmadu

11:50am

No idea.

greatbam

11:59am

Well it’s kind of central to your thesis….

niqmadu

12:45pm

Go back and look at how he did. Take Baylor's 2022 game vs. the National Champ Runner Up TCU for example. They lost..

greatbam

1:03pm

KU got better after taking away playcalling duties from Grimes. He hasn't

88Coug

12:32pm

I’ve heard that he did not lose play calling duties and that he did lose them

niqmadu

12:47pm

I think it was before the ASU game. 1-4 KU needed to change something.

88Coug

12:59pm

and I listened to him before the game with us and it

niqmadu

2:07pm

He's trending up, but 3 games does not make a career.

IronPotato

12:40pm

Maybe I shouldn't have said "great" but he's at least a good / decent OC.

greatbam

1:09pm

Fair. 👍

IronPotato

2:29pm

Norm Chow was routinely criticised. Being OC is rarely popular.

Plantagenet

12:07pm

Anae 1.0 was the most balanced offense we ever had

runningryan

12:13pm

We're 9-2 and you want to fire our OC. That doesn't make any sense.

rockyrd

12:58pm

I think a-rod has been good this season

boctabulous

Doug Scoville was elite. He started it all...
