It didn't quite work out with Slovis here for various reasons, but ARod showed he was able to recruit a high-level QB recruit.

Good grief. ARod's playcalling is great! And FTR, in between jobs at Utah/BYU,

He's doing well as the OC. Critics have unrealistic expectations of an OC

Sure. I agree. But my point is, he can grow and training will speed growth.

Dr MoBYU

12/29/24 9:24pm

Do you really think he doesn't do that?

Yeah, someone should alert the college football coaching profession about this

You read a lot into things. Anyway, which clinics does he go to? I’m am

I don't fault Arod for his playcalling.

Again he's a great coach and that's his reason for his success.

If I were a betting man, I’d bet that he’ll get one eventually. Probably sooner

That's what has made it so frustrating to see our QB room look the way it does

You have not answered my questions. You are avoiding actually answering.

It's not a train of negativity but rather just being subjective
