Wins than any time in the last 7 years. But bronco signed a deal with a different AD, and when New Mexico was at a different place.
New AD comes in, booster and financial support was not what they were hoping/planning/promising, and then the conference realignment happens, pushing them even further down a road that would make it very unlikely for any of that promised support to materialize.
I dont see that going against his "program building" mantra at all. Especially cause he went to the aggies. That can't be spun any other way but a rebuild.
He wanted to build a program and had a deal to do it with a certain environment and parameters. Those changed, so he has gone to another rebuild that is promising those parameters.
Who knows, if Boise is any indication, Bronco may make the CFP before BYU.
