It's the special seasons that really make a difference to the program history.

We finish 58th in the Massey Composite - another unsuccessful season

Coop

He needs more time to get his guys

We finished below Western Kentucky, Tulane, Florida Atlantic ...

Coop

I’ll continue my rant like a nutjob

Coop

1/14/20 7:50am

It’s not a good look when the last guy averaged 33 with the same restrictions

Mr. Scoobs

Dude, why should BYU be a better program than those schools?

Its time to recalibrate your expectations

This is perhaps the truth....also a real blow to the future of BYU football.

This will be Sitake's 5th season. Bronco was so far ahead of the game at this

Borg

Let me provide a counter argument......

mudpupper

1/14/20 7:52am

Bronco inherited a ton more all-timers from Crowton

donnerstag

1/14/20 8:06am

Last six seasons under Bronco Avg. Massey rating 39.7. Kalani first four: 64.5

tevye

1/14/20 8:16am

What was Bronco's average from 2005-09?

donnerstag

1/14/20 8:28am

From '05-'09 Avg was 24.4. BYU finished #13 in '06, '07 and '09. Those three

tevye

1/14/20 8:47am

According to Sagarin, BYU dropped from a 19 avg in 2006-09 to a 39 avg

You act like having top 25 teams is a black mark. Top 40 in "down years" is

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 8:51am

If you're satisfied with an 8.33 win average

donnerstag

1/14/20 8:54am

I prefer top 40 finishes over finishes in the 70's. Don't understand the fans

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 8:59am

I don't care if we finish 40th or 70th

donnerstag

1/14/20 9:14am

What do you define as a special season?

tevye

1/14/20 9:18am

Zero to one loss seasons where we're being talked about nationally

donnerstag

1/14/20 9:21am

That's a very high bar. Only 4 FBS teams (3%) had a "special season" in 2019.

tevye

1/14/20 9:34am

Maybe if we go to a major bowl and lose and stay in the top 10

donnerstag

1/14/20 10:13am

And we were much closer to "special" seasons in the latter years than we are now

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 9:23am

I never said that we are closer to special seasons from 2017-19

donnerstag

1/14/20 10:11am

In December 2023, after an embarrassing 42-17 loss to Liberty in the Cure Bowl

BeardedSpock

1/14/20 8:44am

Nope. This will be close to 100% Sitake recruits by 2021

donnerstag

1/14/20 8:46am

Are they weak due to poor coaching or poor ability?

BYUtka

1/14/20 8:55am

It's poor coaching and lack of experience

donnerstag

1/14/20 9:15am

Kinda like how losing to #125 Toledo this yr wasn't a "bad loss"?

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 9:28am

Sitake delivers more big wins than Bronco. And hes actually a decent dude.

Backcountry

1/14/20 2:32pm

Sagarin finishes: 36, 112, 63, 67. Averaged 33 ‘05-‘15. “Improvement?!”

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 7:50am

70th place finish as the average for Kalani. So terrible

Dynasty1

1/14/20 8:04am

Bottom-half FBS finish average now gets rewarded with an extension.

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 8:36am

Hey as long as we’re beating Idaho St

Still waiting for some CBer to make and post a GIF of Holmoe zipping up his

DirtyWater

Average Massey finishes for the last four years: 64.5. Utah average: 30.5.

tevye

1/14/20 8:08am

Honest question, what are they a composite of exactly? I did a quick search, but

ldssdl

1/14/20 8:09am

Computer rankings

Coop

1/14/20 8:54am

We could have done better if Sitake played the right QB.

Dangerous

1/14/20 8:26am

And actually implemented a real defense.

mudpupper

1/14/20 8:56am

Don't worry Sitake is a great recruiter.........

acougfan

Thanks for another whine-fest 3 weeks after the season ended.

Benfica1

1/14/20 8:55am

Rankings didn’t update until the season was fully over

Coop

1/14/20 8:59am

And you were surprised by the ranking? Blindsided?

Benfica1

1/14/20 9:05am

Why even be a fan of a program if you don't care about the results?

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 9:03am

So Beating historically two of the best football programs in football history

Beetdiggercoug

1/14/20 9:29am

It gets tainted by losing to #125 Toledo/#98 USF etc. Bottom-half FBS finishes

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 9:34am

True it taints, I'm not that hyper critical and prefer to see the big picture.

Beetdiggercoug

1/14/20 9:57am

The "big picture" is that the bar hasn't been this low at BYU for a long time.

Mr. Scoobs

1/14/20 10:57am

My post is the big picture

Coop

1/14/20 11:09am

Yep, its funner that way.

Beetdiggercoug

1/14/20 11:20am

What's fun is watching BYU play good football, which we don't do consistently

Coop

1/14/20 12:19pm

BYU had a very good--and successful--year. Your expectations are way off.

Um, BYU had an average year with some very good wins. I'm expecting 8+ wins.

Kalani has had weaker SOS than our prior coaches. Bar lowered so quick it's nuts
