Sincere props to you for engaging with the argument. Now, do you think Arod is
an objectively (by the stats/numbers) above- average OC? Yes or no?

Do you think it’s reasonable or likely that BYU (or any other program similarly-situated to BYU) would fire an above-average OC after a 10-2 season, only their second as a P4, where they won many more games than the prior year?

One of the biggest problems with how college football is set up, even in this 12-team playoff era, is that high quality teams can’t have off/bad games. In the NFL, almost every good team has bad games. QBs throw stupid ints. OCs make baffling calls. But it’s part of the journey on the way to playoffs and a potential Super Bowl. In college football, only the blue bloods (and apparently we’re only talking about P2 teams) get the opportunity to grow throughout a season. So, that leads to fans making (what I believe) to be unrealistic demands for firing solid coaches or benching solid players.

So, my last point to you is: A-Rod won’t get fired. It’s not going to happen. Despite his real weaknesses that you’ve highlighted, some of which I think you’ve overblown, he’s still an objectively above average OC who helped guide BYU to higher heights than they’ve ever been as a P-4. I don’t know what point you’re trying to accomplish in arguing against A-Rod as BYU’s OC, but it’s definitely not going to lead to him being fired. There may be more productive ways to first your time/energy.
