BYU is on the downslide, but not dead yet, just like a few of LaVell's 5 loss seasons in the 90's, the program is at a low right now, but it CAN [not that it will] recover, the only difference is LaVell inspired much more confidence than a coach who (1) can't manage the game clock, (2) relies on Ben Lomond coaches to teach his D and (3) voluntarily admits that his wife watches more college football than him during the bye weeks and on the Saturdays they don't play.
