Enthusiasm and passion must be embodied by a head coach for success. Even if they are exhibited differently. Bronco doesn't need to show emotion but he does need to show enthusiasm. That can't be delegated.

"Being consistent" in losing to Utah and other big opponents. But that's cool

Heck yes, Thurday's Heros and firesides are worth a couple extra losses a year.

Bronco has close to an overall 90% win rate against G-5 teams.

Um, BYU went 5-5 vs. the Utes during the 1990s. So BYU should only beat them
