I haven't seen many fans upset with many other things
It's mainly the dumb losses to bad teams

If fans have to lower expectations then the coach should be gone

If we're going to schedule 5-7 P5 teams a year, while still not being in a P5 conference and with larger

But should fans expect to lose most G5 games we play on the road too?
Huge Manatee

Probably not the expectations he's suggesting be lowered.

That's the thing, its not about the P5 games

The thing is, it's irrelevant about the non-P5 games because if you play that many P5 games, you're

Did you see the Hawaii WRs just blowing by everyone we had on defense?

So wait, now even the MWC has passed us by athletically?
TheWanderer
1/8/20 9:55am
Ummm.... you act as if we owned the MWC. BYU had only 3 outright championships in the MWC
Indy Coug
1/8/20 10:02am
BYU also played in a different MWC. Outside of BSU, the MWC is worse now.

By the time we hit SDSU and Hawaii, we hadn't played a P5 in 9+ weeks.
TheWanderer
1/8/20 9:53am
Did you fail to notice we were down to the bottom of our RB depth chart? We had to move Allgeier back from LB
Indy Coug
1/8/20 9:56am
yeah, and Allgeier was gashing Hawaii. Why not give him the ball?

"Success" isn't defined by an annual win total in Independence
CaliWG

Our schedule as it turns out has not been that tough.

That's because there are plenty of bad P5 teams

Through the USU game this year, BYU's SOS was the 12th toughest nationally

You are using smoke and mirrors to take attention away from the real issue.

If BYU can't even expect to beat USF and Toledo.....that's bad.

Yes, but who is going to fire the coach? Our favorite AD who skips out on media

idacoug
1/8/20 9:32am
Well some fans do need to lower their expectations
ReggaeCoug
1/8/20 9:33am
If expectations were much lower, BYU would be a perennial 4-8 team.
TheWanderer
1/8/20 9:35am
As soon as fans do that, the program is a goner because it is that external pressure that forces BYU to be better.

I am not arguing this point, but I believe external pressure is less and less relevant to decisions at BYU.....

Taysom stays healthy in 2015, we go 13-1, and this is a different conversation.

Or undefeated in 2014 for that matter. We were undefeated until Taysom got hurt

But USU was winning that game when Taysom went down. I don't agree that injury
