Its been rough. But throw some water in your face, slap yourself a few times and

Okay.

It is strange.

Why this year over others?

Good question. We've all been through it before.

cougar247

12/6/17 10:37am

Which others have compared to this?

No BYU team in teh modern era has shown such a considerable lack of life and fight. Crowton's teams at least fought

The worst I ever saw a BYU team give up was our home game against CSU in 2003

mantis mutu

12/6/17 4:02pm

Please don't bring back memories like that. I was there it was awful.

ragid

12/6/17 5:15pm

Sorry. I was in denial about it for some time. Life was better that way.

mantis mutu

12/6/17 5:24pm

That all happened to me a few years ago=it becomes an interest not an obsession!

farsurfer

12/6/17 2:33pm

Most people won't say it or don't realize it, but it has to do with the UofU

palangi

12/7/17 11:40am

the thing is...we've had bad seasons in the past, questionable hires, recruits..

All-American Coug

12/6/17 10:22am

One minor correction. LaVell's teams were very good starting in the mid-'70s. We went to the Fiesta Bowl in '74.

Brisco

12/6/17 5:11pm

Just because an OC hasn't been hired yet doesn't mean there is no plan.

TheLoneCougar

12/6/17 10:22am

Yeah I'd rather lose a few recruits than make the wrong OC hire.

GOR

12/6/17 11:01am

So why let Ty go before you have a replacement for him?

gmj81

12/6/17 11:19am

I clearly don't know the real answer to this, but speculating I'd say:

TheLoneCougar

12/6/17 11:31am

To send the message that the program is changing proactively

WhiteKnight

12/7/17 11:28am

So you let people know its changing but they dont know if its for the better

gmj81

12/7/17 11:44am

With early signing day around the corner, you've got to have a guy in place

gmj81

12/7/17 11:45am

You look before you leap... this tells me we didn’t look before TD was tossed

Pretorian

12/6/17 1:55pm

Yea, and if they started next year 6-0, ( I know highly unlikley),

BYURider

12/6/17 10:22am

have you considered you may need to change your board name?

Well played!

Oklahoma Football 1994-99:

Ulysses14

12/6/17 10:35am

Oklahoma (P5) =/= BYU (Not P5, Not G5, Not committed one way or the other)

TrueBlue67

12/6/17 12:48pm

So we still have no chance at a NC. But we can certainly improve over the next

JuicyJam

12/6/17 2:08pm

This is simply silly. Very silly. Not committed?

Eddie

Know exactly how you feel, what I now think and do is this...

Coug76

12/6/17 10:35am

Bosco said that? Wow.

eddog

12/6/17 12:19pm

Not surprising. The program has been riding the fence of seriousness for decades

Ash

12/6/17 2:14pm

if every donor gives that threat, it’s very unlikely

Colorado

12/7/17 6:31am

I agree on all accounts. Describes my feelings too. Need a new direction & HC.

Haha! Just noticed that.

You know things are bad when the goats are escaping

Dude. It was one. bad. year.

GOR

12/6/17 10:59am

No. It goes much deeper than that.

cougar247

12/6/17 12:42pm

This is TBD... so yes... for now it is one really bad year

Pretorian

12/6/17 1:56pm

Too young to have lived through Crowton era, eh?

BlueTooth

12/6/17 11:04am

Nope. This is worse. We fired the HC then.

cougar247

12/6/17 11:18am

After how many years?

Graig Swame

12/6/17 11:41am

The problem is that apart from our performance, the environment our FB program

dreamlvr

12/6/17 11:44am

Crowton era was ten times worse.

TheLoneCougar

12/6/17 11:46am

Disagree. It's never been this bad. Crowton era still had wins over ND, Cuse,

gmj81

12/6/17 12:05pm

BYU beat Michigan St., Mississippi St., and Arizona in '16

boscatar

12/6/17 1:26pm

All were horrid and had losing records. We have a low bar if that is impressive!

Cougstreak

12/6/17 2:11pm

We didn't beat anybody this year and were one of worst teams in nearly all stats

The program needs to find an identy fast....

Step off the ledge. It's ok.

Mark320

12/6/17 12:15pm

Methinks TH's silence on TFD has more to do with trying to keep him on the staff

stirmac

12/6/17 12:22pm

Sure seems like KS is following the KW model, not good

Fansince67

12/6/17 12:25pm

pull yourself together man. you'll probably laugh at your emotional post

Str8CashCougar

12/6/17 1:47pm

I think it's funny when people are mad that Ty got fired and say Sitake should

JuicyJam

12/6/17 2:07pm

Agreed 100%. The problem is that by firing ONLY Ty, nothing changes.

cougar247

Head coaches always have longer leashes than coordinators.

This season wasn’t bad.

I root for the BYU football team because I love BYU, not because I love BYU fb

yakkamole

12/6/17 2:45pm

I specifically used the term BYU Football Fandom for that very reason.

cougar247

12/6/17 2:47pm

Do you watch all BYU sports because you love BYU?

Cougstreak

12/6/17 2:50pm

No. That's true. I do follow many of the sports fairly closely though.

yakkamole

This post is ridiculous. There is no reasonable scenario that would have

mm73

12/6/17 2:47pm

You either misunderstood my post or didn't read it.

cougar247

12/6/17 2:52pm

KS being fired after one bad season was not a realistic scenario. The only way

mm73

12/6/17 2:59pm

Doesn't mean it should not have happened. Either way, the program is a mess.

cougar247

12/6/17 3:08pm

How is the program worse off now than during Crowton?

What do you mean manner we let Ty go? He sucked, he was fired. That's life

If it's really that bad, leave. No one wants a negative fan. I too am hurting

Hawk Talons

There are different levels of atrocity. Humanity scope vs athletic program
