Things just keep getting easier for the :utard:

Maybe he wants to do the impossible and try turning a school around like BYU.

Our current head coach probably wouldn't agree to that.

Then hire me for $1 and I'll allow it.

As someone pointed out on another board recently, there is an ebb and flow to athletics. Back in the 1990's, did anyone think BYU basketball would catch up to or surpass U of U basketball?
They also pointed out that change could come when Whittingham retires. It's rare that schools have back-to-back great coaches. And calling him "great" may be a stretch.
In the short term, we are all Oregon and Oklahoma fans this week.

Can you count on it being an ebb and flow thing if the administration doesnât care if things improve? It seems that BYU either doesnât care or doesnât believe they need to put in the same work everyone else does. They think they donât need to pay experienced coaches either.

No, you're absolutely right. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part. After all, we have an AD who's "favorite" part of last year was leading Utah by 20 at half time. Nevermind that Utah came back to win the game by scoring 35 points in the second half. I guess that was irrelevant.
It's almost like they're trying to drive BYU sports, at least football, into the ground. And they've picked the perfect bunch of no-talent hacks to get it done.

Our problems are much deeper than coaching. Neither Chris Peterson, Urban Meyer, nor Nick Sabin could be successful here. The Board of Trustees is not committed to success.

Bronco averaged 9 wins per year here under the current restrictions, making less money himself and for his assistants. Better coaching would give better results. The problem is, 9 wins wasn't good enough for the same boosters that are now in favor of extending a coach averaging 6 wins per year.

Has the schedule been harder?
I have no agenda here, but I do think the schedule has been harder for KS compared to Bronco. In terms of teams heading to bowls or win/loss totals, maybe I am wrong but it seems the schedule has been harder. Hence, a 9 win Bronco team is perceived differently from a 7 win KS team.

That argument only holds water in a year when the team hasnât lost to USF, Toledo, and A super ugly loss scoring only 3 against San Diego State. The losses to Washington and Utah are painful, but fine. But saying that Sitakeâs schedule difficulty is high is irrelevant when heâs losing to the weak teams in the schedule.
