A lot of schools talk about buying out "lesser" games, but it rarely happens. Only about 5-10 Power 5 schools that dare to ever do it. I think Boise for sure schedules 13 games and keeps scheduling BYU, and vice versa. There are 3 parties to the Boise vs BYU deal: Boise, BYU and ESPN. Works out great for everyone.

Won't ever have great teams under harsin. He can't coach. Petersen finished in the top 10 three straight seasons, but then had some horrific recruiting classes after those same seasons (#69 and #110 ranked classes in back to back years). That along with a poor OC hire lead to him finishing his last two years in Boise at 19-6 (76%). Harsin has kept things going at a slightly higher winning percentage (46-14 - 77%). But Harsin's recruiting classes have been far superior to Petersen's in terms of ratings. But there has been more attrition and less discipline in Harsin's squads.

There should be some improvement in the next two years. This years team lacks discipline and is a couple good players away from being NY6-bowlish good. Why should there be improvement? Every team is the same. Talented but undisciplined. Every team will be like this. Talent will win out every few years and get a conference championship but there is no reason to believe that the three losses a year will not continue. My only hope is that getting off of the Rypien roller coaster might bring some more consistency overall. That in and of itself might at least keep some of the most egregious losses from happening.

I always thought he didn't care all that much about recruiting rankings. He was looking for "our kinda guys" I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is actually a Reorganized LDS Church guy (Independence isn't too far away from Dallas, really), so if y'all are cool with a Joseph Smith III disciple, you should totally sign him up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Moore is as Mormon, BYU-bred now as @robe, @BroncoOrange, and @hickaggie Mark it down. Brother Moore is on the BYU short list for head coach. Right now Kalani is safe. But if he loses to USU ever, ever, ever again.... He's toast. Kellen Moore---next man up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even close..... Wyoming even ran out Dave Christensen (a former Missouri OC). There is one State that everyone in the Intermountain West / Pacific West fears, and it is not Missouri.

WilliamHicks Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 What we need to do is come up with a mega raise for Andy freakin Avalos. We would probably only have 2 wins if not for Andy and what he has done with our Defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo Amor Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 4 hours ago, #1Stunner said: There is for sure some cross-over, with cousins, aunts, uncles, inlaws. Some extended family. If you were to call a "family meeting", the consensus family tree between schools looks like this: COUSINS: BYU Boise Hawaii BROTHERS: USU BYU STEP SIBLINGS UTAH (troubled youth, taken in by the family, and who has a drinking problem, and a criminal record) BYU / USU Am I missing someone? Basically, BYU, Hawaii, USU and Boise should all be playing each other very frequently. How are they cousins if they have different moms but the same dad? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
