Six Foot Seven Intervention Needed

Chow, Reynolds, Borich, Crowton, Anae, Doman, Anae, Detmer, Grimes, and now ARod

BYU fans have hated on every single one of them.

There are only tweaks that need to be made by ARod and his offense. If you want wholesale changes, then your level of analysis of the game of football doesn’t extend much past watching the ball wherever it goes on every play.

I think almost every fan base hates their OC.

If you’re not scoring a touchdown on 80% of your plays, you’re just not good enough.

Dec 3, 4:53pm

I believe that is correct. I heard a stat that Ohio St. scores on 80% of their

Well, score a td on 80% of your possessions and you will be around 65 points per

Half the fun of watching the game is analyzing what you just saw

seems like OCs=Mother in Laws

Ding ding ding ding!

I am not old enough to remember but did fans hate Tollner?

BYU Grounds

Dec 3, 4:55pm

I think Tollner was the QB coach in 1981

AF Cougar

Dec 3, 5:06pm

Yes, you are correct. The name I was trying to remember was Doug Scoville

BYU Grounds

Dec 3, 5:14pm

Probably the best BYU OC of all time

AF Cougar

Dec 3, 5:19pm

I wonder if the fans criticized him?

BYU Grounds

Dec 3, 5:26pm

Probably, but no CB to air their complaints.

jaba166

Dec 3, 5:54pm

How did the fans back then survive?

Cooouuugs

Dec 3, 7:22pm

Fans didn't need CB back then. They could just call Lavelle Edwards up and complain directly to him on the Coaches

dilbert

Dec 4, 12:15am

Few fans knew much about football back then. They just liked all the touchdowns.

Dream on, Skippy.

Les IsMore

Dec 3, 8:44pm

You disagree?

Shawarma

Dec 3, 10:07pm

Nope. Don’t remember that happening. I remember lamenting his leaving…

Mot

Dec 3, 11:27pm

I’d much rather have the opinionated fans we have than complacency

Dec 3, 4:57pm

Detmer and Doman were the only really bad ones

Jericho

Dec 3, 4:58pm

How's Anae doing at NC State? How did Chow do after BYU? Doman and Detmer are

reddead

Dec 3, 4:59pm

The point is that many fans on this board will never be happy with the OC

cambo

Dec 3, 5:12pm

The OC gets none of the credit for success and all of the blame for failure

Belboz

Dec 3, 5:17pm

This is simply not true

interpolagent

Dec 3, 6:17pm

And my point is that we've had some verified stinkers at OC...

reddead

Dec 3, 5:20pm

Fans didn't like prime Norm Chow. They hated draw plays on 3rd and long

Belboz

Dec 3, 5:42pm

BYU never got to see prime Norm Chow. He got fed up and left. USC got his best

shoganai

Dec 3, 7:20pm

Chow coached/developed Phillip Rivers at NC State then won a Natty at USC so

Socrates Johnson

Dec 3, 6:39pm

And Crowton won a national championship at LSU.

Mark

Dec 3, 8:38pm

Are you crediting all Rivers success to Chow? Is it possible the reverse is

lazycoug

Dec 3, 11:26pm

One doesn’t have to credit all of it to credit some. And Rivers isn’t the only

Socrates Johnson

Dec 4, 8:16am

How did chow do after BYU? Ever heard of Matt Leinhart, Carson Palmer, LenDale

kansascougar

Dec 3, 8:13pm

If we consistently hate all of them, we are certain to be right X% of the time!

Still Blue

Dec 3, 5:03pm

Speak for yourself.. My resume -

AltTabbins

Dec 3, 5:05pm

ARod has more headscratcher plays than most. That is the biggest issue

Chase

Dec 3, 5:08pm

So Chow was hated all of his 15 years as OC?

vegas guey

Dec 3, 5:16pm

He was very disliked

Belboz

Dec 3, 5:45pm

1 of my fav memories of my dad on Chow was outbursts of 'stupid stupid stupid!'

OldFogey

Dec 3, 6:26pm

No he wasn’t. That’s hogwash.

Socrates Johnson

Dec 3, 6:39pm

They are all so "predictable".

JuicyJam

Dec 3, 5:17pm

I loved Grimes, and most of the time appreciated Anae 1.0 & 2.0.

WhyaskY?

Dec 3, 5:54pm

I don't remember a lot of Grimes hate going on.

Dec 3, 8:17pm

LOL, you don’t remember 2019 & the insistence that ARod get playcalling duties??

Dec 3, 8:21pm

I remember much more Kalani and Tuiaki hate in 2019 than Grimes hate.

Dec 3, 8:28pm

Plenty of grimes hate.

kansascougar

Dec 3, 8:34pm

I vaguely remember Anea 2.0 being pretty good.

Frank Purulence

Dec 3, 5:54pm

He was. Credit where due. Notably better in second iteration.

cajuncoug

Dec 3, 7:08pm

I’m not old enough to remember BYU fans hating on chow. Also I thought Lance

Cooouuugs

Dec 3, 5:59pm

Oh, he was heavily criticized. But like with most criticisms, was it pervasive or just a few loud voices?

Dec 3, 6:21pm

Pretty pervasive man

Socrates Johnson

Dec 3, 6:42pm

First sentence is one of the truest statements ever written on Cougarboard

I wish he would adapt game plans a little faster he seems slow to change

davidmj10

Dec 3, 6:54pm

I've been watching the football, and it hasn't moved forward on third downs much

here's to hoping

Dec 3, 6:58pm

I can say with 100% confidence that nobody hated Borich...

Coug

Dec 3, 7:30pm

You were here in 2002. I know you were.

Dec 3, 7:35pm

Some BYU fans also seem to love the backup QB too

I'mBatman

Dec 3, 7:35pm

If hed cut red zone turnovers in half he’d be fine

TunaNoCrust

Dec 3, 7:45pm

It has everything to do with the players, they

kbufcoug

Dec 3, 7:54pm

Not true. Detmer had a great set of players in 2016

Jericho

Dec 3, 8:17pm

That was the worst version of Hill and we lacked playmakers at WR

cajuncoug

Dec 3, 8:24pm

I'm blown away you're claiming detmer wasn't the problem in 2016...power to you

here's to hoping

Dec 3, 10:15pm

I didn’t say a word about Detmer

UnhealthyAddiction

Dec 3, 8:17pm

So you think tweaking is the fix for the lack of TE productivity...

Les IsMore

Dec 3, 8:43pm

Lack of TE productivity in 2024 is due to a lack of TE talent in 2024.

Dec 3, 9:03pm

Just fire 'em all after one year, Whittingham style

CougarDanger

Dec 3, 9:10pm

Who hated Borich? Him leaving was the single worst thing to happen to Crowton &

indocoug

Dec 3, 9:15pm

Crowton was great until the bottom dropped out and the fans were ruthless

MadHawaiian

Dec 3, 11:20pm

He was great until Borich left.

indocoug

Dec 3, 11:26pm

So are you saying every OC we've had has been great?
