100 Wins

[DrumNFeather]

Bronco and Kyle are both in their 6th season as head coaches. Bronco is 52-20 and Kyle is 56-17 (wikipedia gives him credit for the win over Pitt in the fiesta bowl as co-head coach)

Which, if either do you see hitting 100 first?

Whittingham will take a step up in competition and, should he win out this year (including the bowl) would take 60 wins into the Pac 12.

Bronco heads into independence which could give him 8 or so soft games per year.

I think Kyle does it simply because I think he'll be at Utah long enough to do it. I could see Bronco walking away within the next 5 years and finishing with 85-90 wins at BYU. Now, if he averages 10 wins per year, he can walk away in 5 years and hit the 100 win mark.

Regardless, it would be pretty remarkable for both to hit this mark given that they were hired the same year, coached in a high-stress rivalry etc.

You really think the Cougs will have 8 soft games a year?

They do the next two years. I don't think it will be that way going forward. I would put the number of soft games at 6 instead of 8 if they are still Independent in two years.

Yes, the next two years for sure. So, if you think that there will be 6 for BYU, then that is probably close to what Utah will have. Colorado, Wazzu (and whoever else sucks in the PAC 10 that year... UCLA, Washington). Plus probably 2 soft games in preseason.

[Indy Coug]

Bronco will leave/retire before he hits 100.

I know that the assumption is that the Big 12 will come calling, but for the next two years he gets what? 5-6 WAC games? A couple of 1AA schools? Not out of the question. That doesn't diminish anything, It just means I think he'll rack up some wins over the next few seasons.

You are probably right, I know that they play BYU every year. I wonder who the other soft game will be? I guess somebody like Utah State.

I'm not even talking about Big 12. Yes, next 2 years won't be great, but after that, I fully expect 6-7 BCS teams on the schedule and some good non BCS teams as well.

Utah State and an FCS. Oh, and your joke sucked.

I think you're going to be disappointed.

I know you do. And I probably will be.

Yeah, I can get behind that. You've swayed me. Perhaps what I meant was that i think Bronco wins a minimum of 8 games as an independent, I don't know, it's wednesday.

So what are you going to do when you lose to a cream puff like BYU 3 out 4 years?

[Hot Lunch]

I think you're going to be disappointed.

I have to agree with Indy on this one.

[LiveCoug]

I have to agree with Indy on this one.

I truly believe that BYU can schedule 6-7 BCS games a year. 2013 already has 4 with 6 games left to schedule.
