8 years with Gustav and above .500 every season

Bryan Harsin never finished Top 15 at Boise in 7 seasons

We have lost 5 in a row and will end up under .500

We lost to an AAC team

We let Bo walk and decided to stick with TJ Finley

We have a 5 star RB and continue to throw on 3rd/4th and short.

Was Bryan Harsin a mistake?

TBD on if Harsin was a mistake. What I can say with absolute certainty is that firing Gus was not.

I mean who knows.

I certainly don’t think firing Gus was a mistake.

Harsin has been put in a really weird spot starting his tenure in the middle of covid. I have no idea if he will be good but I don’t think we can definitely say for sure.

Just because Harsin may or may not be the answer, doesn’t change the fact that Gus sucked and needed to be fired.

I’m most frustrated that a year after firing Gus we have the same problems.

That plus it seems like we still don’t have a plan on offense and we’re going to essentially be starting over with a new system, play calls, etc

Gus did great with Chiz recruits and then he left us with what we have

Okay?

You complain about getting rid of Bo but forget the A&M game that started the losing streak. Take that game out the last 4 losses were within 5 points on average.

We lost to an AAC team


11-2 and ranked 20th?

quote:

We let Bo walk


No complaints

and decided to stick with TJ Finley


With a limp almost beat bama

Offensive line says hi.

I'm not sure what other options you have unless you think Bo plays on a freshly operated on ankle. That statement is kinda disingenuous.

Who gives a frick.

If you can't/won't see that the program was stagnant, at the very best, under Gus, then you never will.

If you don't/didn't realize this is going to be a pretty big rebuild, you never will.

Is there really that much difference in going 6-7 to 7-6/8-5? Are there things to be concerned about? Absolutely. But we just finished up YEAR 1 of a major rebuild.

Gus stayed too long and left the cupboard empty. He should’ve been fired in 2017 after LSU.

Give Harsin 2 more years and if it’s not better, then bye bye…. But yeah there was very bad coaching calls this year.
