TNT is fascinated that so many CBers are successful in business and take risks. However when it comes to BYU coaching they seem scared. It's really an interesting dichotomy.

The primary flaw with many calling for coaches to be fired:

Life is full of risks

TNT

And yes TNT has been studying Indy's/SC "how to improve your vocabulary"

TNT

TNT should take a risk and apply for a job.

Whoa. That's taking the comment way too far ITO

Therefore, what?

buhler08

10/6/15 3:02pm

Do you feel BYU is at their ceiling now as a football program?

TNT

10/6/15 3:03pm

I feel that they are far closer to their ceiling than the floor

buhler08

10/6/15 3:05pm

2-ply or 3-ply cardboard?

Hey now don't make it personal

What will be the risk mitigation strategy for replacing Bronco?

Colorado

TILT!

Bronco's ceiling appears to be quite obvious bye now.

Josef K

10/6/15 2:58pm

This argument ignores the volatility of athletic competition

buhler08

10/6/15 3:14pm

This is spot on.

Westsider

10/6/15 3:56pm

How many times are Bronco's supporters going to go back to the injury well?

Josef K

10/6/15 4:25pm

They happen, but they can't be ignored

buhler08

10/6/15 4:35pm

You're being dishonest if you ignore the fact that we've lost our BEST players

Colorado

10/6/15 4:38pm

What if its BYU's ceiling, rather than Bronco's ceiling?

StantonMac

10/6/15 3:23pm

Good call. Let's just assume its BYU's ceiling and be content with what we got.

Josef K

10/6/15 4:27pm

Well, here's the thing

StantonMac

10/6/15 4:41pm

I find that outlook so depressing.

Ruby Soho

10/6/15 6:01pm

And I find it depressing to stress about things beyond my control

StantonMac

10/6/15 6:08pm

Only one way to find out, right?

How many coaches did Bama go through after Bear?

BarraCouga

10/6/15 3:00pm

How many coaches were aching to coach at Bama, Texas, and OK? There aren't many

cougarmikey

Pssst, we're arguing the same point.

BarraCouga

Psst.. I know Just building

BYU has the 16th highest winning percentage nationally since 2005

Indy Coug

10/6/15 3:01pm

Actually TNT has come around to keeping Bronco but Anae has to go ITHO

What about since 2010? TIA

Bummer of a trend

10/6/15 6:17pm

And nothing... literally nothing to show for it

Smoke Monster

10/6/15 3:20pm

That doesn't answer any of the 3 questions I posed

Indy Coug

10/6/15 3:28pm

Answer me this then...

Smoke Monster

10/6/15 3:43pm

Nothing? Bowl records don't count? Big game wins don't count? What do you need

workindev

10/6/15 3:32pm

Bowls? You mean Vegas, Armed Forces and New Mexico?

Smoke Monster

10/6/15 3:41pm

How many FBS coaches have 10 bowl games in a row, accounting for 100% of their

workindev

10/6/15 8:37pm

I'd trade everyone of those meaningless bowl games...

Smoke Monster

10/6/15 10:14pm

Well, you can't trade those things away. It's history. Of course it could have

We really haven't accomplished much at all...

Smoke Monster

10/7/15 6:51am

Isn't it possible to both enjoy the successes of the program and wish we reach

workindev

10/7/15 1:13pm

Every success that Bronco has had...

Smoke Monster

I've got a ton of great memories with my family

StantonMac

10/6/15 3:47pm

It's how it works with passionate fans. It's a cycle.

SCcoug

10/6/15 3:05pm

The perception of some fans does not make it a good decision

buhler08

10/6/15 3:17pm

Yeah I agree.

Smoke Monster

Your logic is flawed. Being scared to do something because it might turn out bad

CougarWarrior

10/6/15 4:12pm

Not at all what I said

buhler08

10/6/15 4:23pm

you can't compare your wife to a football coach... why are people so dumb?

CougarWarrior

10/6/15 6:50pm

I ask myself that question every day.

Kerbouchard

10/6/15 7:29pm

Once again, not what I said

At this point I don't care if the next coach sucks or not, you have to

CougarWarrior

What if it's not just the next coach...But the next one after...and after that.

BarraCouga

10/6/15 8:14pm

the fire crowd is sticking around right now. all you guys are doing is hiding

If you're that courageous, answer my questions., don't attack.

BarraCouga

My problem is that it is always a season of "almost" or "what could have been."

"...the number of people is very small."

Juiceman

10/6/15 4:49pm

You talk as if Bronco was one of the 3 new apostles. He's a football coach.

Real Men Wear Blue

10/6/15 7:05pm

No, he's one of the 3 Nephites.
