I understand many of you are upset by my post. I expected that. I just look at

I don't think anyone was upset by it. Some just disagreed with it.

You threw it out there as an option first.

I said 'Maybe, I should find a team that cares about winning as much

Your expectations are far different than BYU's.

I fear you might be right. Sad. Mediocrity is our goal.

If BYU's, and YOUR expectations, are merely to make a bowl game, then you have..

I would add a Top 25 ranking to those expectations.

I have found that there are people on here delusionally invested in BYU fandom..

This does seem accurate

SoCalCoug

I definitely don’t think that other than wishfully.

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 7:24pm

I’m not telling you to leave, I’m suggesting that if you are looking for a better fit for what you deem important

Upset? You give yourself too much credit. Many did LOL your post.

11/18/19 6:39pm

I'm confused. What are you proposing that BYU does at this point in time?

Bostonblue

11/18/19 3:47pm

We could go down the road if you like. I certainly wouldn't have extended

kimdaddy35

11/18/19 3:51pm

okay. So your biggest gripe is the timing of the extension?

Bostonblue

11/18/19 3:53pm

Perhaps there were other hurdles he already cleared

Huge Manatee

11/18/19 6:16pm

delaying the announcement would have hurt recruiting

You didn’t answer the question.

LOL. I would never have been in this situation in the first place

Great recap. Once again crapping on the past

byu_coug

11/19/19 12:18pm

I have no solutions??? I gave you very specific information on what I would do.

kimdaddy35

11/19/19 12:52pm

Nice post. Your are correct

Hawk Talons

If BYU gets a 9-4 record in year 4

donnerstag

11/18/19 3:53pm

People also need to realize that 9-4 in the MWC meant we were a mediocre team.

kudzucoug

11/18/19 3:56pm

And yet Sagarin rankings tell a very different story

kimdaddy35

11/18/19 3:58pm

Sagarin has already ranked 2020 and 2021, impressive

kudzucoug

11/18/19 4:02pm

So you are judging his record this year based on future schedules?

kimdaddy35

11/19/19 11:54am

Really? What were the equivalent USF and Toledo losses?

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 3:59pm

Bronco didn’t have ANY losing season in his last 4...

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 3:58pm

Bronco's 2 worst seasons were 6-6 and 7-6 in 2005 and 2010

donnerstag

11/18/19 4:12pm

Kalani had more “horrific losses” this year alone...

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 4:36pm

No. That's simply not true

donnerstag

11/18/19 5:08pm

Three of those are P5 teams...

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 7:20pm

How many P5 teams did Bronco beat? Of those precious few, how many

UNHuskerCoug

11/18/19 7:30pm

That’s a fair question for sure...

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 7:45pm

The AZ teams were awful. He beat horrible Oregon St.

UNHuskerCoug

11/18/19 8:34pm

He also beat Nebraska, Michigan St, Mississippi st,

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 8:57pm

I only have time to research 2005-2010...

UNHuskerCoug

11/18/19 9:26pm

That looks about like what I expected it to look like...

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 9:44pm

Here is 2011-2015:

UNHuskerCoug

11/19/19 1:28pm

Massey composite rankings have them lower than Toledo and USF

donnerstag

11/18/19 7:53pm

Once again you’re comparing a time span of over a decade...

CoachSpeak

11/18/19 8:11pm

That’s one way to spin it.

Kalani means we get more wins over Pac 12, SEC, and Big 10 teams

My take on your initial post.....and it did not upset me in the slightlest.

TheHop

11/18/19 4:02pm

Reality you either have to fire or extend Kalani before signing day

You have the Bronco stuff all wrong. Bronco nearly left one year prior to Ore.

Didn’t Bronco lose 4 in a row after losing his star player in 2014?

dchandle15

11/18/19 6:52pm

If Tom actually did say that to Bronco, somebody was absolutely stupid.

PJMort

11/18/19 6:54pm

Some of us were sick of Bronco’s plateau, his losing to Utah

D.T. Survivor

Yeah, Thanks for that.

Board and man foul. Answering your post with another post.

Seriously, if you are that upset about Kalani, stop watching.

ReggaeCoug

11/18/19 8:26pm

I wasn't upset by your post. I just think you're wrong if you think Kalani is the biggest factor in the mediocre
