Time will tell, but getting into a P5 conference is probably the only way to take a substantial leap.

We're going all in for Poly's

Well that all depends. How long are Detmer and kalani going to last?

Cougarrrs

I'm pretty sure I remember Kalani saying something to the effect

Fans need special seasons every now and then.

^^This is the answer. Fans want years where they can reminisce about it.

That '06 season should've been special

CaliWG

That's the sad thing. That 06 team was a great team; likely Bronco's best.

It's the one I remember best and have the most fond memories of

09 team was not close to as good

I liked the 2006 season better but compare the rosters position by position

Fair Point

^THIS. I agree that BYU won't be able to hold 10 win seasons every year

We've never had exceptional defenses for a 4-6 year stretch. If we could have the same

Do you believe it is possible for programs to progress?

Bostonblue

Of course they can progress...

TheKing

2/9/16 5:20pm

from the sound of the OP, you make it sound as if we are capped

Bostonblue

THIS.

ColonelMustard7

You understood my OP accurately

TheKing

2/9/16 9:59pm

I think you severely underestimate recruiting

2/9/16 11:42pm

If we play at the level we have the past 40 years, that would mean we are

Bostonblue

Look at Oregon and Ole Miss, anything is possible.

I wonder if Edwards/Mendenhall are your average.

displacedute

I think you bring up a good point but looking at the top 10 coaches in BYU

the difference is recruiting.....

Just going off the recent past

CougarTail

2/9/16 5:03pm

This is very true. Our best units have rarely coincided with one another in recent years.

Harrison0Yfan

I'm most worried about defense. No one really knows how good Tuiaki will be.

bretonnia

2/9/16 7:34pm

I'm hoping that

CougarTail

2/10/16 8:11am

I don't expect a big change in recruiting outcome

TheKing

2/9/16 5:29pm

I disagree, I think recruiting classes could consistently be ranked in the 20-35

Diablo and Doc

2/9/16 6:11pm

And if we could even get consistently in the low 40's that'd be a huge boost.

Harrison0Yfan

2/9/16 6:38pm

I fully expect Kalani to have top-50 classes yearly, with his average around

bretonnia

2/9/16 7:39pm

This is exactly true. I think we are hurt way more by depth than by lack of top talent.

Harrison0Yfan

2/9/16 10:25pm

Getting guys drafted consistently would help a lot.

wilsdad

2/9/16 8:07pm

That really is the only possible difference in my view - if somehow

I hate this line of thinking.

DON'T COMPARE BRONCO AND LAVELL!!!!!

I don't see any problem with using Lavell as the yard stick in BYU football

StalwartBraveTrue

You gave no reason as to why...

Why

byu_coug

there's a reason you're a redshirt freshman. you haven't drunk the Kool Aid

I could live with .650

wilsdad

Good points and analysis. I'm interested in what top program numbers are

StalwartBraveTrue

I think fans hope to see one special, outlier season every once in a while.
