Yeah- exactly. It shows how truly unobjective we are on this board to think 8 or 7 wins wasn’t expected

One bad season can set a program back years because of recruiting and transfers.

This is the best class in the kalani era and this year we could get the average

FieroCoug

The program has collapsed twice on his watch.

ldssdl

12/3/22 3:44pm

Not even close to a collapse

FieroCoug

12/3/22 3:44pm

Absolutely it was. BYU returned one of the most experienced teams. 9 wins was

ldssdl

12/3/22 3:46pm

Should have been a great year. Schedule wasn't a tough as it was made

12/3/22 3:48pm

9 wins was the expectation. We have a decent shot at getting 8.

FieroCoug

12/3/22 3:53pm

Who was tougher than expected other than Oregon?

ldssdl

12/3/22 3:54pm

Liberty, ECU, USF probably after having close losses

FieroCoug

12/3/22 3:56pm

Oh so by your criteria, if they beat BYU, they were tougher than expected? Or

Why do you keep making excuses for the staff?

How many 8-5 seasons did Bronco have in a row? Against easier schedules

Are you guarantee a bowl win?

I don’t see a big difference between 7-6 and 8-5. But take 2010 if you want

Charles Darwin

12/3/22 3:47pm

The schedule wasn’t that hard this year. Only Oregon was clearly superior.

ldssdl

12/3/22 3:51pm

ND was very good. Liberty and Arkansas were good. ECU was decent.

FieroCoug

12/3/22 3:55pm

Notre Dame lost to Marshall at home and Stanford. They aren’t very good.

ldssdl

12/3/22 3:57pm

And they blew out clemson and NC and won 9 games. They are inconsistent but good

FieroCoug

12/3/22 4:09pm

8-4 Liberty was not good. They got smoked by a 5-6 New Mexico State.

CodeBlueCoug

12/3/22 3:58pm

After their coach told them he was out

Charles Darwin

12/3/22 3:59pm

So Liberty’s losses just don’t count?

ldssdl

12/3/22 4:00pm

The defense was bad this year and last. Pretty average before that outside of 21

Charles Darwin

12/3/22 4:05pm

Libertys season was over when freeze said he was gone. Libertys real season was

FieroCoug

12/3/22 4:10pm

What are you taking about, he didn’t announce until after their last game right?

CodeBlueCoug

12/3/22 4:16pm

He told them before the game he was taking the job when it was offered

Charles Darwin

2013 was arguably the toughest SOS in independence.

ldssdl

Wouldn’t define this season as a collapse. We may end up with 8 wins.

BlooCoog

12/3/22 3:47pm

For the talent we had returning…it was a complete collapse.

CodeBlueCoug

12/3/22 3:51pm

Nah. I complete collapse is a sub .500 record. Still not a good season given

BlooCoog

BYU was ranked #12 in the nation at one point, with a veteran QB getting NFL

Nearly every national prediction of BYU’s wins this year, recognizing talent

Yeah we need a reset there are more to come unfortunately

A 7-5 season is average, not bad. It’s exactly what we should have expected. Next year might be bad though…

WP17

12/3/22 3:44pm

Nope. It was really bad. With the talent we had returning we should’ve been so

CodeBlueCoug

12/3/22 3:47pm

If you think that then you looked at emotions and not legitimate metrics. We were very average.

There is some serious revisionist history going on here relative to returning

ldssdl

12/3/22 3:53pm

Expectations of who? Look at actual metrics and we were projected 7-5. Fans just assumed we would be better

Even bloggers like Vanquish the Foe had them at 8-4

Charles Darwin

12/3/22 4:20pm

8-4 or 7-5 were what metrics predicted. We returned good offense and poor defensive talent.

WP17

12/3/22 4:00pm

Metrics suggesting that many of those teams would be better

One good coach can set a program up for years because recruiting and transfers

For those rolling their eyes, we have already had our biggest recruits

I wish I had your optimism Chitownboy. 😂

Starters transferring is reason enough to be concerned.

CodeBlueCoug

12/3/22 3:55pm

I’ve seen one starter announce to transfer from every major team so far.

Boring

3 so far for us. Holker, Barrington, and reported that Wilgar is.

Asinine post. Seriously. Stay off the board.

If Hall is gone then I fear some of our top receivers will leave via the portal.
