I have been a Bronco defender

I'd take anyone proven at the FBS level at this point.

Honest Question, what has the Navy coach done better than Bronco?

boyblue

6-2 against rivals last four years.

The main thing I like about Sitake is that...

Some of it is bad form. In my opinion, he does the very thing

No he doesn't. The busby stuff was off the field stuff. This article is him

Not the juvenile personal comments he makes. He could state

cougrfan70

No he's not

Sure he is. Go read the article again.

I don't think it's nearly as personal. But it's certainly more accurate than

Good read.

DrBYU

10/24/14 8:27am

Good point. I think we saw him do this on Riley

fulano

Good thing he doesn't pay attention to media then...

BabyOx

I like how ARich called him out on twitter "you're not helping you're hurting"

palangi

10/24/14 8:37am

I disagree. Alabama, Auburn and FSU would definitely beat this years...

BearsandBulls

10/24/14 8:54am

yes, but they wouldn't be top 5 and they wouldn't be competing for championships

palangi

10/24/14 10:11am

That's not what you said, though. You said they wouldn't "keep on winining".

BearsandBulls

10/24/14 10:24am

they wouldn't keep in winning, they don't play USU, UCF etc they would probably

palangi

10/24/14 10:28am

Losing a few starters is no excuse for a program like BYU to lose to USU and UNR

BearsandBulls

10/24/14 10:52am

they didn't just lose a few starters dude, Taysom Hill was a heisman candidate

palangi

10/24/14 11:02am

The offense played more than well enough to win against both UNR and UCF...

BearsandBulls

10/24/14 11:30am

Yes but the problems aren't limited to this year. You can't blame 0-4 against

ArcticKat

10/24/14 11:31am

I agree, but DS, and many BYU fans, still think we're playing the 90s uofu and

palangi

Or potentially a great move

checoug

10/24/14 11:44am

Times are different and Utah and USU are not the same as they were in the 80's

ArcticKat

All the talk about an undefeated season before Taysom's injury

It was a good read until the end

byujag

Yep, Stevenson went over the top there

2FarGone

10/24/14 8:42am

Without the Sitake part, it was just a scathing rant (good as it was).

BYUflynn

10/24/14 11:44am

that article got me fired up.

yfootball

10/24/14 8:41am

It's nothing but a rant. Classless.

WaybackCougar

10/24/14 9:10am

True..but many of his points, albeit, based in emotion, are accurate..IMO.

Desert Rat

10/24/14 9:36am

Many of his points ignore realities outside of Bronco's control

Qhall

Yes I agree with that as well, he should have stuck with his primary views

Lcoug

10/24/14 9:35am

He didn't lose ALL credibility with me (most of his other points were spot on)..

BearsandBulls

10/24/14 9:35am

If he was on staff or sat in on the meetings, I'd give him more credibility.

ManicBlue

10/24/14 10:42am

He's not speaking as a just a fan. He's speaking as a former player and alumni.

BearsandBulls

IMO you do have to be pretty connected to correctly identify the actual

I thought Doman was a very good QB coach who was mis managed by BM

Maybe that wasn't "CBs" popular thought at the time, but I was hoping for an

'not alive' in 1980 ... that explains a lot

It is a rant, with some very compelling facts

that article was way too emotional and immature, BUT...

I picture him writing this in his underwear drinking a rock star while screaming

37-22 since 2010, with a largely MWC-type schedule.

Hmmm, I thought it was a vocal minority of CBers that had such concerns.

Good. Bring in a completely inexperienced head coach. Smart.

He has some good points, but is wrong about Howell. Howell is probably

Thrill

They said the same thing about Doman

checoug

Doman was a good recruiter -- he was weak in other areas -- like Howell.

cougfromcali

That's probably why he should be a position coach. He probably knows how

saltlakecoug1

10/24/14 11:38am

With all of the recent negative press, Howell is losing his recruiting respect.

DoseOfReality

Please show me some tangible proof of this.

while I agree with some of what he says, I think the tone is disrespectful

Not sure I agree with his methods, but all his complaints were 100% accurate.

Absolutely right. Kalani Sitake would be an awesome hire.

Honest Question, why do you think Sitake would be a good hire?

boyblue

10/24/14 1:17pm

He won't need to run the defense anymore and HC is not about being
