What about coach Edwards wins against good teams, records, etc
Are they any better overall?

Everyone likes to quote BM 70% win percentage...but let's really look at it.
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 12:06pm
So take away his best seasons his win % goes down. Got it.

10/21/14 12:09pm
Or, you could look at the most recent seasons to gauge the current state of the

That shows BYU is about where they have been for the past 20 years.

Bronco cult stops at the %, the "haters" go deeper.

let's see who actually goes deeper...i'll go as deep as i can

Recruiting is how Ole Miss did it. Recruiting is how BYU needs to as well.

Hugh Freeze is also a difference between then and now.

And recruiting is getting better I'd say as well.

Recruiting has improved. Now Bronco needs to bat better

my point has been that 8-5 is not worthy of a pink slip. should his contract

my feeling is that you don't understand the dynamics of the coaching search post

And honestly, deep down, I'm on the fence about letting him finish

understood. it is a critical time for the program.

That is a good question. If the B12 invites 2 more after this year or next

with a REAL P5 schedule, his record would most likely be abysmal...
kotacoug
10/21/14 12:37pm
But that argument can only be taken so far. If we had a P5 schedule,

Bronco has a very respectable - if not solid - W/L record. Why argue that?
shoganai
10/21/14 12:15pm
If 60% win percentage against a mix of P5/G5 is considered respectable...fine.
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 12:54pm
Of course it is. Very few programs do that well over long time periods.
shoganai
10/21/14 12:58pm
I think the distinction above is valid...that if we had a P5 schedule then okay.
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 1:04pm
You should do more comparisons to other programs.
shoganai
10/21/14 1:07pm
Sometimes I think someone hi-jacks your account.
VenetianCougar
10/21/14 1:34pm
I do think they're relevant.
shoganai
10/21/14 1:46pm
Then the reason we argue it is that it is often cited to support keeping him
VenetianCougar
10/21/14 1:51pm
But that's pretty much always been the case at BYU. Even in the "glory" years.
shoganai
10/21/14 2:00pm
Not by itself ...
VenetianCougar
10/21/14 2:15pm
Also, Lavell never really had the trend we are seeing now
VenetianCougar
10/21/14 2:17pm
All fair points.
shoganai
10/21/14 2:24pm
Thought that was his point. Anyway, everyone agrees this season is terrible.

10/21/14 2:39pm
I'm trying to show a trend in the data. I like that Bronco turned around the
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 3:21pm
I don't like the "Lavell always dominated Utah" argument
hansel
10/21/14 3:13pm
Lavell was 12-0 when Utah had a losing record. Bronco is 0-2.
SpiffCoug
10/21/14 6:30pm
Wrong...
byu_coug
10/21/14 3:19pm
Also...the 2 decades of "glory" years you referenced, Lavell had a 75% win clip
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 2:26pm
What's your timeline?
shoganai
10/21/14 2:31pm
I tried to follow your suggestions: After the Arizonas went to the Pac-10: 78-97
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 3:09pm
So what's your overall conclusion?
shoganai
10/21/14 3:15pm
Here's what I posted above...
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 3:33pm
I think some unique variables make the "trend" argument a little more murky.
shoganai
10/21/14 3:38pm
But ultimately...isn't that the thing that really matters?
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 4:10pm
That is why Bronco will never be fired.
shoganai
10/21/14 4:16pm
So then what you're telling me is that TH truly isn't concerned with winning
ol' Blue Eyes
10/21/14 4:28pm
What "championships" are you talking about?
shoganai
10/21/14 4:34pm
Apparently...none...because BYU isn't concerned with anything like that.

Ole Miss can recruit the south, we can't. Next question.

What about coach Edwards wins against good teams, records, etc

Who cares? Coach Edwards did enough to get us a NC. The job may possibly be

RunningQB

I would be ok with 7-6 or 8-5 or so IF the schedule was a P5 type schedule.
