Our fanbase lacks the needed passion to compete in the coaching arms race.

This passion manifests itself in supersized donations.

How do USC and other schools afford to pay not only the huge salaries of their current coaches, but also the millions for the buyouts of past failed coaches?

Firing coaches won't help, at least for many years. I've been watching BYU play

I agree that we’ll never compete for a playoff spot. It I also think we would be better with a better coach.

A top-4 playoff spot is forever out of reach. But if they expanded it, I could

Even if you could get that funded, there aren't candidates out there who'd be worth that price tag.

I agree the Church has the funds in the for-profit entities if it wanted to pay

It's called reality. Every thing that Gramps said is spot on.

I don’t need a Playoff Spot, or even a NY6 bowl. I just need someone to beat USU every year, BSU/Utah every other year

My problem is I don’t see even a 2 game win streak

Gathers

Which is why I said every other year. Even that will be a huge improvement

Once a decade currently would be an improvement.

You're asking us to accept that USU is just a better program than us now.
