More than 3 conference losses and I consider this season disappointing, especially since TCU and Utah the two toughest games are at home.

A lot would depend on how we arrived at that record. A lot of injuries to key positions and I can be pretty forgiving. If it happens with normal injuries, then yes I will be greatly dissapointed. However, I will still think Bronco to be a good to very good coach.

I will go back to beating old dead horses. I will worry again that the restrictive environment at BYU restricts any coach in his effort to bringing BYU back to glory. Bronco thinks he can. 7-5 would make me think he is just a little to optimistic.

I think, obviously, having the whole team decimated by injuries would get any coach a pass. At least it should. And I would hope that understanding is implied.
