Well... Welcome back.
Some things are more important than BYU sports. Not many - but a few.

All of our best season have one common denominator.

What about the previous 3 disappointing seasons?
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 11:46am
QB issues, some can be blamed on coaches, some can be blamed on injuries
binghammer
11/20/14 11:49am
I am not disagreeing with this because it has some validity.
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 11:55am
I think we are likely 9-1 right now with healthy Taysom
binghammer
11/20/14 11:57am
The defense got torched by USU and BSU.
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 12:01pm
Some of our best years we had some lousy D's, 2001 is a great example
binghammer
11/20/14 12:03pm
So, you'd say 8-2.
CMuehle
11/20/14 12:05pm
8-2 at best. However, with this schedule that is still not great.
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 12:07pm
You could probably say that about any year we went 8-2
binghammer
11/20/14 12:09pm
Perhaps.
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 12:15pm
Just remember this
binghammer
11/20/14 12:18pm
That is debatable. Crowton was a train wreck.
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 12:21pm
It's not debatable that the one common denominator in his
binghammer
11/20/14 12:24pm
At what point are coaches made responsible for recruiting and player development
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 12:28pm
NEVER!
southernfriedcougar
11/20/14 12:36pm
I personally think coaches are about 25% of the equation overall
binghammer
11/20/14 12:36pm
They sure get paid a lot for being 25% of the equation.
southernfriedcougar
11/20/14 12:43pm
I want that job... my goodness
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 12:49pm
I think we needed a new coach and he was asked to resign at a good point
binghammer
11/20/14 1:04pm
Like I said, it's not an exact science or anything
binghammer
11/20/14 1:02pm
I highly doubt coaching is only 25% of the equation at Miss State.
southernfriedcougar
11/20/14 1:36pm
How many other teams are like that? If that is the norm, you have a good point
binghammer
11/20/14 1:40pm
Look at Lavell's season if you need proof
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 1:43pm
Yeah, what Lavell did is super common, same with TCU
binghammer
11/20/14 1:48pm
Curious... what's normal in your point of view?
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 1:56pm
there's 130 teams or something, the average of that is normal
binghammer
11/20/14 1:57pm
Seriously Clark? For the record, Bronco wants to be apart of the 65 teams...
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 2:10pm
That is the upper half, so if you want to draw from that part of the equation
binghammer
11/20/14 2:21pm
Yeah... good programs lose to USU, SJSU, UNR... have a poor record against Utah.
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 2:26pm
I wonder if UT and OU say that about BYU? Probably
binghammer
11/20/14 2:31pm
You really think there are no examples of teams obviously coached
southernfriedcougar
11/20/14 2:01pm
lol, go re-read what I said and we will take it from there
binghammer
11/20/14 2:05pm
Not doing yourself any favors here.
southernfriedcougar
11/20/14 2:14pm
It's not my fault you don't read very well, I can't hold your hand here
binghammer
11/20/14 2:22pm
Make an argument or just stop.
southernfriedcougar
11/20/14 2:51pm
We cannot progress until you learn how to read
binghammer
11/20/14 3:34pm
We cannot progress until you present a real argument.
southernfriedcougar
11/20/14 3:46pm
Explain.
Jeffe

How did Crowton go 12-2 they year after Lavell went 6-6?

If this rational had been followed after 10 years of Lavell

Two things

They sure get paid a lot for being 25%.
BYUisLife
11/21/14 8:24am
What what what? wait... hold on
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 12:51pm
I'd say 8-2 at worst.
CMuehle
11/20/14 12:12pm
wait, you really think we would have lost to USU with healthy Taysom?
brooklyncougar
11/20/14 3:12pm
I'll have what you're smoking--see Marshall
GA_Coug
11/20/14 4:04pm
you don't think we would be ranked higher than marshall? i absolutely do
brooklyncougar
11/20/14 10:11pm
Considering they have a stronger SOS--absolutely not
GA_Coug
11/20/14 10:13pm
And our offense had over 1200 yards in those two games, so it's not like
southernfriedcougar

BM 2001
binghammer
11/20/14 12:38pm
Taysom was torching their defense more than they were torching ours.
cougarick
11/20/14 1:02pm
Honestly, Taysom was not a great QB last year as a whole. Especially passing
viper
11/20/14 12:02pm
He took a huge step forward this year and now will likely take a huge step back.
GA_Coug
11/20/14 12:30pm
Hill was an average QB last year.
CMuehle
11/20/14 12:02pm
Just out of curiosity....
CMuehle
11/20/14 12:07pm
I am not as much of a BB fan as I am football, so I don't really have an opinion
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 12:15pm
Rose hasn't taken us to the highest level in terms of single season success.
Blue Cat
11/20/14 12:43pm
Good distinction
slowhiteguy
11/20/14 1:10pm
Yup, and we would have went farther in the 2011 NCAA tourney if that
BeardedSpock
11/20/14 1:26pm
I agree
GA_Coug
11/20/14 12:23pm
Bryan Kehl is no idiot.
byusage
11/20/14 12:26pm
Please don't bring up his silly comments.
southernfriedcougar
11/20/14 12:34pm
Bryan proved that to be false with his lame blog post.
BYUisLife
11/21/14 8:25am
So when did Hill play defense?
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 12:48pm
When did Doman, Beck, Hall, Sark, Bosco, Detmer, Young, McMahon, Wilson,
binghammer
11/20/14 1:06pm
They didn't have to... because they didn't have a 3A high school coach...
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 2:01pm
Didn't know you thought so highly of Crowton, nice
binghammer
11/20/14 2:06pm
Did Crowton hire a really bad 3A High school coach with no college experience...
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 2:16pm
When did Crowton hire high school coaches to be the head coach at BYU?
binghammer
11/20/14 2:22pm
When did he hire high school coaches to be coordinators?
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 2:28pm
Don't know don't care, but much good it did him
binghammer
11/20/14 2:32pm
Crowton is a mess...
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 2:46pm
TLDR
binghammer
11/20/14 3:34pm
Tucked tail and ran...
Smoke Monster
11/20/14 3:36pm
That is about all the Pro-Bronco crowd is good for.
BYUisLife
11/21/14 8:26am
I agree with your conclusion, but . . .
CoopDizz
11/20/14 1:18pm
Correct.
ragid
11/20/14 1:28pm
I wouldn't be disappointed with being 9-1 or even 8-2 right now
binghammer
11/20/14 1:28pm
If Taysom was healthy I would be disappointed with anything other than 10-0
ragid
11/20/14 1:33pm
I think we could be 10-0 right now, possibly, but we will never know
binghammer
11/20/14 1:41pm
Effect != Cause
BluebloodOR
11/20/14 1:31pm
Our defense was the problem this year. In our losses, our offense scored enough
Real Men Wear Blue
11/20/14 2:40pm
No argument from me that a better d would have given better results
binghammer
11/20/14 3:36pm
Since 2000, no undefeated team has had a quarterback injury
CocaColaRecovery
11/20/14 3:09pm
That is very telling.
PolarisPrime
11/20/14 5:27pm
Proves my point perfectly, thanks
binghammer
11/29/14 11:37pm
Wow - you are really slow at responding to posts
PolarisPrime

My grandma died, so I have been out of town
binghammer
11/30/14 12:37am
Ugh... Sorry about that
PolarisPrime
11/30/14 12:41am
It's bittersweet. It was expected. She was in a lot of pain.
binghammer
11/30/14 12:45am
Well... Welcome back.
PolarisPrime
11/30/14 12:47am
Yeah, that was crystal clear the past 11 days or so.
