My case against Robert Anae

[stuckinbig10country]

Guys...Robert Anae isn't a great OC. We've known this from when he was here the first time. He wins a lot with NFL caliber QB's, which is better than some OC's do.

I would like to have someone different here, but a change in coordinator wouldn't help too much because of the injuries.

If he were great, he wouldn't be at BYU making a quarter what his peers make. Instead he's above average, gets his guys in a position to win games and is content with working for less for the church.

We are the most penalized team in the nation for a reason

Actually, #70 in penalties per game with 6.15 penalties per game.

In penalty yards per game, we are #122, better than Marshall (7-0, #23), Texas Tech (3-4, NR), and Baylor (6-1, #12). Only slightly worse than ECU (5-1, #18).

If anything, looking at the five most penalized (on a yards per game basis), you'd come away thinking maybe more penalties is correlated with winning as TTech is the only one with a losing record, and 3 of the other 4 are ranked in the top-25, and the 4th was ranked until it lost half its team to an injury bug.

Well, those teams score touchdowns all game long. Us? Not so much. It's an interesting correlation (until last week we were second from last, I'm working with old data), but considering the number of first downs we have given away, and touchdowns that have been called back, we can't afford it. We don't have a home run hitter anymore now that Taysom is gone, and our OC is benching anyone that gets over 12.5 yards a carry for no apparent reason.

Someone remind Blue about that joined at the hip thing he brought up but ignored this: The defense and special teams keep putting the offense in terrible field position and seldom do anything to put them in good field position. That is a huge Impact on points. Our offense already puts up more than enough points to win most games, but on those rare occasions that they are given field position, like one quarter of the UCF game - BAM. BAM. BAM. 3 TDs in a matter of minutes. Blinded. Focused on the wrong side of the ball. If the defense could get off the field sooner and more often. The offense would get in another 15-25 plays a game with fewer yards to cover to score and BAM. More points. If you want more points, get the defense off the field and have the punter quit shanking punts, and deciding on his own to fake a punt, and have the punt team quit giving up huge returns...ditto kick off team, and field position is better and BYU will score even more points.
