made chicken salad outta chicken crap. All things considered, not bad at all" type posts that speak the most truth probably. I havent much use for the 2 extremes, but sliding into that warm bubble bath of mediocrity, w a golf applause for effort in facing adversity, moves the real issues to back burner.

Exposure and big picture emerge to lipstick the 800 lb gorilla in the CB locker room. Yeah, I just put lipstick on a gorilla. The Gorilla? Repeating devastating, decimating mistakes w staff and strategy, yet we'll still be baffled next time an utterly unqualified coach gets promoted, or the team shows up, hopeless and hapless.

Even though FB isn't literally most important, we need coaches who act like their life depends on it. At this level, it's 75-80% about coaching, and no, I have no easy answer for fixing that. I believe many within FB program find a little too much comfort and disappointment wounds healed via big picture stuff. I don't want or expect one or the other, bottom line, this staff has to coach, prepare and strategize among the top 10% of CFB for BYU to claw back into relevance.
