PROVO — Calls for firings, resignations and shakeups in BYU’s football program in mid-October are dumb.

There may be a time to discuss all that junk, but it isn’t now. Not the week BYU will host San Jose State and players and coaches are fighting the undertow to get to the surface for some air.

Yeah, just dunk the lifeguards’ heads under. That’ll work.

Firing somebody today or tomorrow isn’t going to get BYU any closer to breaking a seven-game losing streak when, by most accounts on the record and off, players still believe in their coaches.
