Being ranked in the top 25 nearly every year and finishing in it half the time?

Doing all this despite tougher schedules and the toughest football landscape we've seen?

Even in Bronco's "bad years" he won nearly identical to LaVells career.
Bronco was 43-17 in the "bad years" from 11-15 (71.67%). Lavell was 257-101-3 (71.79%) all time.

So if 9 wins is mediocre, that is about what BYU has been at their peak in any good stretch of time.

And sorry put last year is MUCH more than "one bad year". Being in the bottom 10 is no joke. That was an absolute trainwreck.
