I'd vote, but I don't think it's as easy as choosing one or the other.

I don't like loosing. I think Coach Edwards was in the middle. What ever he did he beat Utah about every year. That's what I want first. Then schedule other games with teams we have a good chance of beating with what we have. Throw in one or two hotshot programs. I still think a lot of schools like ours ought to make up conferences based on how much they are willing to pay for their programs. Let the big ones beat up on each other and let the rest of us have fun.

That's what I want. Schedule (and get up for) two P5 teams - Utah and one other (preferably Notre Dame when possible). Then fill the rest of the schedule with Utah State, Hawaii, Boise State, the Academies, etc.

I like the Tom Holmoe model. I like it because we get to visit Tenn and compete everywhere. I'm okay with it because byu is always competitive against anyone.

I would love to end 8-4. Unfortunately, our coaching staff isn't capable of that.

I'd like to know who thinks they are going 8-4 against this year's schedule or next years. I would take 8-4 every year against that schedule.

I think a competent coaching staff could go 8-4 with this years schedule. I think (hindsight being 20/20) that a competent coaching staff would have had more than 8 wins per year the last 3 years.

Yep. It's 7-6 or 4-9 that really hurt.
