Does it concern you that a guy who had substantially more talent than all of his competition was losing 3 games per year on average?

If he had been losing them to his "competition", i.e. other Mountain West teams, then yes, it would be a concern.

His BSU teams haven't lost a regular season Mountain West game since October 2018.

In the past 4 years (2017-20), he's lost fewer regular season conference games (2) than Nick Saban (3).

I see you keep tryin to push this line. Let’s looks at some of those losses shall we?

2014: Ole Miss, Air Force
(Won conference & Fiesta Bowl)

2015: BYU, Utah St., New Mexico, Air Force
(Won Poinsettia Bowl)

2016: Wyoming, Air Force, Baylor
(Lost Cactus Bowl to Baylor)

2017: Washington St., Virginia, Fresno St.
(Later beat Fresno St in conference championship and Oregon in Las Vegas Bowl)

2018: Oklahoma St., San Diego St., Fresno St.
(Beat Fresno is reg. season, lost to Fresno in conference championship)

2019: BYU, Washington
(Won conference championship, lost bowl to Washington)

Being that Boise is a mid-major school that regularly plays at least 2 games a season against Power 5 schools, none of the losses he had at Boise stand out as bad. In fact his record is damn good. If you have even an ounce of honesty an objectivity you will admit as much.

I haven't studied it, but I suspect some of his losses were OOC. In a small conference, your OOC games are often built in losses as opposed to built in wins. Saban's teams rarely win them all and does anyone argue he has far superior talent than every team on his schedule?

Lost 19 games at Boise and looks like only 9 came from in conference games. Doesn’t seem like all of the competition he lost to had “substantially more talent”
