Blaming Mars might be the single, truthiest, comment on Cougar Corner in the history of the site.I blame you.

I don't think any of us really know what Holmoe did or didn't do.I agree with what you are saying. My problem with Holmoe is he took a long shot at getting Kwhit and when that didn't work, the only guy he pursued was Sitake. Lance Anderson at Stanford was interested but he said "they had bigger fish they were looking at". Coach N at Navy wasn't seriously considered because they told him he couldn't bring his option. There were other guys that could have been considered but other than trying to get Kwhit, Sitake was the only guy and that is what irritates me. We should consider all interested candidates and pick the one that brings the best option to win. IMO we didn't do that, we were too obsessed with getting a former Lavell player.BYU basketball is fine. We've been in games against the two top-15 teams in our conference. What coaching decisions would have made a difference at LMU? More Worthington and Bergesen?
Who else was Holmoe to hire for head football coach? If he hires Nuimatalolo, Cougar Nation revolts because we're running the option. Cougar Nation revolts if we hire Grimes - or anyone else - other than Ty freaking Detmer. He had to take that chance and let it play out.
With hindsight, it is clear that we cannot survive front loaded schedules. We're not just playing LSU or Wisconsin or Utah. We play all three in consecutive weekends. I'm afraid we will see a similar breakdown the next couple of years - Arizona, Wisconsin and Washington road games in September? Too much.
But had Holmoe NOT scheduled these games, we would complain about weak schedules.
