Skill positions? Not many coaches get to start with an NFL QB and NFL RB

I guess you could say the cupboard was bare after that, but 2nd string QB was an Elite 11 champ, so on paper the QB position was in great shape. RB was thin, yes, and WR's weren't much to write home about, but this IS BYU, you know.

Sobering fact: After three years, Kalani Sitake has a 11% winning percentage

Crazy with how much talent the last coach left him with at skill positions and

Still not an acceptable excuse.

Amen!

Borg

So what would be an acceptable excuse in your mind? Just curious.

There is really no excuse for that kind of winning percentage against our rivals

Mattattack159

5/21/19 1:17pm

11%...at some point they no longer become "rivals" as we become

I get losing to Pac-12 powerhouse Utah once in a while.

Excuses are for wimps who can’t own their mistakes

It's all on KS being the anti-Bronco.

And Sitake got 1 more win than Bronco's last 4 year average with those players.

Benfica1

5/21/19 1:16pm

Looking at Sitake’s record as head coach, I think it’s safe to say those players

ataylor

5/21/19 1:21pm

Exactly, that is what was stated.

Lets take a look at what Bronco left:

Gorum the Old

5/21/19 2:26pm

Who was left after the 2016 season?

donnerstag

5/21/19 2:45pm

Whoever Kalani recruited.

dYrtbYkerYder

5/21/19 4:00pm

About 70% of that first class went on missions

donnerstag

5/21/19 4:05pm

There was talent, but no depth. That was one of Bronco's greatest shortcomings.

Rise Against

5/21/19 4:13pm

Especially on offense, there was a lack of experience at the skill

donnerstag

5/21/19 4:23pm

Good stuff, anyone who continues to bag on Bronco are just trolling

Pretorian

5/21/19 4:27pm

Let's see... Bronco left an NFL QB, NFL RB, NFL CB, 2 NFL LBs. Find a new excuse

dYrtbYkerYder

5/21/19 3:41pm

What was left in 2017?

donnerstag

5/21/19 3:57pm

At that point it's Kalani's job to stock his own cupboard.

dYrtbYkerYder

5/21/19 4:00pm

This is the first season where the bulk of the upperclassmen are Sitake's

donnerstag

5/21/19 4:06pm

No it’s not. The only class he’d had a chance to fully recruit were all freshmen

puntersarepeople

5/21/19 4:07pm

Get JUCO guys, or non-mission guys. The recruiting classes weren't that bad.

dYrtbYkerYder

5/21/19 4:12pm

IE, not Bronco's fault that KS only had Hoge/Detmer/Critchlow behind Mangum.

dYrtbYkerYder

5/21/19 4:15pm

You can only get so many JUCO and non mission guys

puntersarepeople

5/21/19 4:27pm

If he wins all three this year, that number goes to 33%

Dangerous

5/21/19 11:45am

And if loses all three....I think it's time to start talking....

Borg

5/21/19 11:47am

Unless those are the only three losses.

antiyewt

5/21/19 11:51am

Yeah....how long can BYU last if they lose every in state game?

Borg

5/21/19 12:02pm

I’m just saying if BYU were to beat

antiyewt

5/21/19 2:28pm

Bronco was at .400 since 2010

donnerstag

5/21/19 11:53am

Out of the 3, both state (BSU, USU) schools BYU should beat annually

Heinz57

5/21/19 11:48am

BYU is 2-7 against BSU all time

Bd7thcal

5/21/19 1:12pm

I know that. Doesn't change the fact that BYU SHOULD

Heinz57

5/21/19 1:20pm

What we should be doing doesn't reflect reality.

Bd7thcal

5/21/19 1:41pm

Don't know if you remember this song

Heinz57

5/21/19 1:47pm

Their NFL draftees over the past 20 years tell a different story

Bd7thcal

5/21/19 2:52pm

Yeah, but BSU is still a winnable game.

Mattattack159

5/21/19 1:21pm

I keep seeing this repeated but this simply is not reality

Bd7thcal

5/21/19 1:43pm

SHOULD SHOULD SHOULD

Heinz57

5/21/19 1:48pm

Why? I doesn't change reality

Bd7thcal

5/21/19 2:53pm

Of course you can't change the past

Heinz57

5/21/19 2:59pm

Except it is. We’ve had a lot of close games

puntersarepeople

5/21/19 3:17pm

But 50% against Wisconsin!

Oddly enough, the win percent against LSU matches the

5/21/19 11:51am

Just figuring this out now? Yeah, we know this. Why bring it up again and again?

Benfica1

5/21/19 11:51am

Now do one for Bronco over his final 5 seasons.

Rise Against

5/21/19 11:52am

Hint, it's below 50%, and was trending down from the start of his tenure.

Rise Against

5/21/19 11:56am

He was 6-7 or 46% win percentage.

antiyewt

5/21/19 11:58am

I’d happily take 46 percent against those three teams right now.

ataylor

5/21/19 12:17pm

To be fair, Utah State was a cake walk game from 2005-10

donnerstag

5/21/19 12:20pm

Just my opinion, but BYU should...

lbmango

5/21/19 12:48pm

In the 90's and early 2000's? Absolutely. But USU is far better than they were

Rise Against

5/21/19 12:55pm

This analysis only works when you don't consider the HC and admissions

Mattattack159

5/21/19 1:27pm

This is absolutely the fact

It says more about the caliber of our opponents than it does BYU.

It's not exclusive to those 3 teams. That is the record against good teams.

That’s only sobering if you just woke up from a 4 year coma
