mizzoucougExpectations are the problem. Many of you, CDH most notably, are WAC BYU fans. In other words you're fine losing to every good team on the schedule and just beating the creampuffs. You get to tell your friends we win 8-10 games a year and call the program successful, which is true.
Maybe in some way it was a bad move but Bronco and the players have talked BCS and NC for years now. Automatically, expectations went up and they were the head coach's doing. Therefore, fan expectations also met new heights. It was no longer good enough to beat soft teams and lose the our 1 or 2 good teams on the schedule. This is where the distinction lies and why so many are frustrated and calling for major changes. Again, we are judging the program based on their own expectations, not ours.
I used to root for the WAC BYU team and knew what was coming. I've enjoyed rooting for the new age BYU even more because we are used to playing big boys now and pretty much own the Pac 12. That is an improvement over the old teams that must be acknowledged. However, this is 3 years in a row now of pathetic offensive management, lack of leadership on both sides of the ball, and a SEVERE LACK of ACCOUNTABILITY toward stupid plays, repeated turnovers, and despicable game management.
If Bronco holds a presser and says we're happy to get to any bowl game and that's our ceiling (we all know it is) then no more complaints. Til then fans will be correct to call for heads as we are repeatedly dominated by inferior opponents.
