It's hard not to agree with this statement. Maybe I haven't paid attention, but

absolutely nothing sticks out to me, over the last few years, where fan bases were thrown under the bus by prominent programs... Context may be different, in that fans threw things at players, or something more malicious, but as you state, the worst it gets for this fan base is a wringing of hands and a public "freaken BYU!" thrown in every other post...

Players just need to say. "We need to figure some things out and play better."

That mentality, if fostered by the coach, will kill the program from the inside.

Solid handle. They should feel a need to earn loyalty.

Nope, those coaches earn that salary because we love them unconditionally.

Looks like he adopted Bronco's victim mentality. Poor coach. Poor players.
