2019 and CU Fans' Program Expectations.

[Da Lama]

This was never a 7 win team.

Maybe, maybe not. But, over 77% of people on this board predicted the Buffs would win between 6 and 8 games this season with Mac's guys. Now suddenly they all suck and are quitting on MT and the coaching staff should be applauded for getting what they could out of this sad bunch.

I was a 7 win guy. A large dose of homerism there, but I never imagined CU would do anything but go 3-0 in the cupcake OOC they had, so 7 did not seem too crazy.. I was almost certain 6 was likely.

I was at 6-6. However, if you told me at the start of the season our already depleted secondary would be ravened by injuries, I would have said that a bowl was a stretch.

Air Force is turning out to not be much of a cup cake. They have a good shot at a 10 win season. They have New Mexico, CSU and Wyoming left on the schedule.

10 wins against nobody. You will never convince me that CU had any business losing at home to AFA. AFA has one of the easiest schedules around. Phil Steele had them at the 81st most difficult schedule.

We’re playing the 39th ranked schedule in the nation. We should have more wins but we’re definitely not playing a **** ton of cupcakes.

This just shows you that majority of fans are idiots. Seriously, how many CU fans were still thinking Montez will be playing at high level before this season?

Part of a coaching staff's job is to cultivate CHARACTER, LEADERSHIP, COMPETITIVENESS, TOUGHNESS, and CHEMISTRY. There blame enough for the players in this situation, but let's not kid ourselves that MANY coaches out there could've have easily stepped into this and pulled at least 7 wins out of this group. Go baclk and look at the season predictions of people on this board. You'll see talent, character, chemistry and experience were seen as positive attributes of this team. now suddenly they are all soft and talentless? can't have it both ways, bub.

This team **** the bed last year! Our talent is only at a couple of positions
Character? NO ****ing way! Good character wouldn't have dropped 7 games in a row last year.
Our chemistry and experience are in losing. This team is soft and lacks talent!
Now I thought, MT alone could change it all, over night? NO but I guess the poor culture that was bred into these kids was deeper than I thought.
Maybe this is why you saw Kelly(UCLA) start almost all true freshman over the last 2 years. Bench everyone that doesnt buy in, and start from scratch with the young kids you can mold into your style and you dont have to un-coach the bad out of the kids.

I expected 6 wins based on the schedule and a 5th year QB. Tucker still seems to be the guy but he needs to make adjustments before they consume him. Be it scheme to better fit the players he actually has or changing recruiting strategies to land better players. The Buffs have not been relevant in the entire lives of incoming recruits. That should temper what we should expect the ceiling of the program going forward should be, but only making 2 bowls in ten plus years is not acceptable.

Said this in another thread-he CAN be the guy. Its clear to me that we've got some underachievers on this staff-I was expecting the defense to stink, but I expected 95th-105th in the country-not bottom 5-10. I'd be shocked if we don't see some re-working of the scheme to where the NFL type looks/delayed blitzes (I think Louis Riddick used that term on the broadcast-so I'm doing it too) we saw succeed against USC becomes more of a permanent thing this offseason.
