Ty No Longer OC

[snoscythe]

Just remember that Kalani Sitake was mentored by Kyle Whittingham, a guy who nearly every season scapegoats his OC who he handicaps and hamstrings all season long.

Those are the OC's Kyle Whittingham has cycled through in his 12 seasons -- his OCs average less than one and a half seasons.

I still think Detmer was in over is head. But the problems that Sitake has caused is 100 times worse...

I've said it before. The numbers speak for themselves, Ty's offense was a failure but IMO there are so many problems with this team that a new Ocoordinator isn't the answer. Unless they hire a real Hard A$$ as the Ocooordinator to bring some discipline then we are going to see a repeat of this year next year.

I really hope Ty stays on staff. I think we need him as QB coach. Let a new offensive coordinator overhaul the rest.

The overall state of the program and the injuries are more to blame than anything else. I think Ty's personal actions are much less the issue than the overall structure he worked in this season.

As for the next steps, I say bring in an outsider. It will look bad on Kalani if he brings in another good ol boy.

This article has an interesting take on the list of potential candidates:

Can we get the crazy pirate Mike Leach to bring the air raid to Provo? If players aren't doing film study, or lax, or whatever, he could just lock them in a closet.

I don't remember which back-up QB said they were on the headsets with Ty every game. He would call the play, and then tell the guys on the headsets which route would be open. The QB said Ty was right every time.

The problem is institutional with the football program right now ... Ty was not the problem.

Statistically, Ty was the biggest problem.

But yes, the team culture seems to be an even bigger problem, and this doesn't fix that. Doesn't necessarily hurt it either, though.

I thought that it was the other way around - that it was Wilstead who was identifying who would be open on the headsets

Now I"m going to have to try to find it. But I think you are right that it was Wilstead, I'm just also confident that he was talking about Ty. I'll see what I can find.
