LOL there is not a more dysfunctional, lost program in the country right now...

If Heaps can finish the year with more TDs than picks this year will be a success. I don't think we can measure success with Ws this year.

The way this team is currently playing 5-7 would be an amazing turn around.

I completely agree. If we can turn it around and have a wining record the rest of this season, that would give us a lot of confidence going into next year. 5-7 would prove that we are really rebuilding (i.e training new talent), instead of sucking (having no talent).

If these young freshmen can prove they are as talented as we all thought and hope they are, then we have a lot to be excited about in 2-3 years. Think about all that young talent: Jake, Josh, Ross, Cody, and the tight ends, as upper-clansmen, we could be nasty! Going 5-7 would prove that they will be the guys, given the time and experience.

All BYU needs to have a successful season is beat Utah for the 4th time out of 5 years. By the time of the Utah game, hopefully Heaps & Co will mature enough to keep the Cougs in the game.

Plus, Utah has had one of the softest schedules in the country to date (while BYU has played on the hardest).

So, 2-10 would be fine, if No. 2 was Utah. Although I would prefer 6-6 with the bowl qualifying win being at SLC.

This team will win no more than 3 total games. 5-7 would be a frigging miracle.

The only way that a 5-7 season is a success (and I use this in the loosest sense of the word) is if it is followed by a great year with the majority of the same players on the field. If we burn this year "rebuilding" and still can't get it done next year, then it has all pretty much been a failure.

WE don't need to do anything. Players need to start playing like D1 athletes and making plays. They just aren't getting it done. All you and I can do is watch and post on this forum.
Agreed. I understand the initial venting, but if all there is to say this season is "we suck, and ________ should be held most responsible," then this board seems reduced to the Sisyphean pursuit of determining what changes need to be made, and then having zero power to actually implement said changes. (And that's not a knock on the board, maybe that really IS all there is to say. I just don't need to hear it in 25-40 variations on the same thread.)

I'm bummed that BYU sucks this year, but I'm not going to get angry over something beyond my sphere of influence. (Although frankly, that's probably influenced by the fact that I'm more frustrated with the players than the coaches. I can understand a fan who feels that, with enough clamor, administrative changes can be made.)

Sisyphean!?! Todd is that you?

A 5-7 season wouldn't be a success. But I'd rather take a 5-7 season with Heaps at the helm than a 7-5 season with Riley trying to play QB.
