Fundamentally, this is what is wrong.
We have a coach that:
1) Thinks football is priority #5 2) Wants to be home at 6:00 pm to eat dinner with the family. 3) Enjoys firesides more than game day. 4) Loves practices, hates games. 5) Doesn't like the media. 6) Doesn't like critical fans. I guess that is why he fits in so well at the Y. Nothing wrong with the above listed items but for your typical Y administrator but NOT for a football coach who is making $1M! If his heart isn't in it, take the money and run.

BYU recruits this. Other schools can also recruit this. |

We need to go back to having losing seasons, then all this whining could actually be justified.

With an extremely weak schedule, we might be able to repeat an undefeated season, but it is not likely. I personally believe that Alabama would have absolutely destroyed BYU in a bowl (who doesn't think this?). This is why we are seeing so much whining about BYU playing OU. It is an acknowledgment that we don't belong with the big boys. |

*Yawn* The stock market is going to go down at some point, too.

I disagree.
The stockmarket is driven by market forces. BYU is not. Unless things change at the top, I think BYU is destined to become a service academy type program. Lots of RMs with short hair and no tatoos playing solid at best football. Not great, not LaVell great, but solid.

BTW........BYU's 10 wins came from a collective win loss record of their opponents which is pathetic. When was the last time BYU won a big game when it really counted. BYU beat Utah the previous two years on 'miracle' and 'magic' plays. Those are not my quotes. Those are player quotes. Hope, miracles, magic are not solutions.
