There are ways to improve the situation (see my other post below). I just don’t think it helps to declare the program dead/killed. Like there’s no way up or out. It’s just not reality. That’s the optimist (realist?) in me I suppose.

Ridiculous doom and gloom is the same as super high expectations and disappointment

Last year was MUCH worse than just a "losing season". It was a disaster.

It was a total failure on and off the field.

Compete in terms of long term trajectory.

I agree about Bronco. I think he viewed BYU as a sinking ship.

In this thread alone you have succintly, identified the majority of the problems

my opinion is that the biggest problem ISNT money. we actually do make

We already are blowing up the program as evidenced by the history of BYU

exactly. doing nothing here is leading to the death of the program. you could

johnnycarson

You could make that case. But that would only be because you aren't willing/able

I am not advocating not fighting, to me fighting would be to get in a G5

BYU has been on a downtrend over the last 9 years. We have had some bright spots
