What I'm trying to figure out is what evidence is there that Mr. Detmer is even an average D1 coordinator? It seems the best case scenario -and the one generations of Shakas seem to support - is he may not be as bad as it appears. This likely is true. I don't want to believe the guy who provided me with so many great memories, is the 7th stupidest guy in D1. However, in 2016 BYU had above average talent (by Provo standards) on the offensive side of the ball. They had a winning record, and came extremely close to having a magical season. Thus, they must have been lighting it up, like the old WAC days, right? Wrong.
2016 stats:
Total offense: 71st (out of 128)- Granted that is the Costanza "meaty part of the curve" area ....
Rushing Offense: This is where last year's team shined, They were ranked 41st. Though, one might argue it will be hard (if not impossible) to have two athletes like Taysom and Jamal in the backfield ever again.
Passing Offense: What most fans thought Ty would bring back to LES, was the ability to throw the pill to balding 23YO RMs- like the glory days. Last year the Cougars were ranked a barftastic 96th
2016 clusters:
Total offense: 122
Rushing Offense: 109
Passing Offense: 91 . They are actually better this year than last

I understand the argument of not Ty's players, injuries. total eclipses, pot on a frisbee, et. al. I don't agree with it, but I get it. But going back to my original question, what evidence has Ty shown that he is even an average coordinator? i would say there is none.
