It was time for Bronco to go. The program plateau’d

Bronco wasn’t fired or ran out of town. He got hired away. It was a good time for him and BYU. Just because his replacement hasn’t done well doesn’t mean Bronco didn’t need to go.

Can't disagree

That’s what I call “POPPINGa” off.

That Ga sound on the end is so Canadian.

I agree w him to some extent, and STILL wish he'd just shut up.

Someone should let Brady know that Bronco left of his own accord. Maybe dumb it down a bit from that so he can

Given that his brother is on the coaching staff, he probably doesn’t really know what went down

Indy Coug

Really weird response. Bronco was clearly not welcome anymore.

Bronco was not going to be fired

shakarocks

11/18/17 10:44pm

Just asked to reapply.

DirtyWater

11/18/17 10:45pm

Nope

shakarocks

11/18/17 10:45pm

Look, there are lots of ways to get rid of somebody.

DirtyWater

11/18/17 10:50pm

He wasn't going anywhere if he didn't want to go

shakarocks

11/18/17 11:05pm

Sure but with what he accomplished that was insulting

It was not as simple as Bronco decided to leave.

YSMACK

11/18/17 10:43pm

Is it accurate to say that Bronco left when he said he would years before?

Accipiter

11/18/17 11:04pm

Yeah, and if he was let go/forced out why would they let him coach the LVB....

icecougar

11/19/17 12:14am

Because most of the staff was going and that left Kaufusi and the WR coach ?

If they tweet it to him make sure they type it really slowly so he...

It must be nice living in a world where you can change the story like that...

It was time for Bronco to go. The program plateau’d

It was a good thing for BYU that he got hired away? Ok.

Is that what you say to help yourself get to sleep at night instead of counting sheep?

Indy Coug

11/18/17 10:42pm

Bronco got offered almost double what he was making here. I don't think BYU

crazY

11/18/17 10:44pm

Don’t think that’s the case. He got a nice raise but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t..

icecougar

11/19/17 12:18am

I sleep good at night because of a healthy diet and regular excersise.

RunningQB

11/18/17 10:48pm

I don't have either of those, yet I sleep well at night

I really wish we were still on a plateau

11/18/17 10:44pm

That 10 win plateau with an Honor Code in place? That plateau?

Cougarfan777

11/18/17 10:45pm

I'll take a plateau at this point

Crush4

11/18/17 10:46pm

LOL. Who wants a plateau when you can have a generational rock bottom, right?

YSMACK

11/18/17 10:46pm

Nobody’s arguing any of Bronco’s seasons vs this season

RunningQB

11/18/17 10:52pm

You're ridiculous because you can't even see it in hindsight.

YSMACK

11/18/17 11:00pm

Oh, and the notion that "it was time for him to go"

YSMACK

11/18/17 11:04pm

I don’t know the guy, but I would guess if you asked him

RunningQB

11/18/17 11:16pm

How do we know Bronco didnt all of a sudden decided to leave because he saw hard

icecougar

11/19/17 12:39am

Except he didn’t want to be here anymore and he and his family are happier...

icecougar

11/19/17 12:20am

LOL. Exactly. Keep connecting those dots and you'll get there.

YSMACK

11/19/17 12:37am

Ummm...because he said he’d only be here 10 yrs. That was his plan and he ...

icecougar

11/19/17 1:00am

LOL. They do it frequently actually.

YSMACK

11/19/17 1:03am

Name some

icecougar

11/19/17 1:09am

Larry Coker, Rich Rod, Bronco Mendenhall ...

YSMACK

11/19/17 1:26am

Poor Bronco, the fans didn’t appreciate him enough.

RunningQB

And now it has cratered.

So a plateau of 9-10 wins every year is worse than a valley of 3 wins?

Brady stinks quite often...but I'm w/ him on this one.

mantis mutu

11/18/17 10:50pm

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. He's right to some degree, AND he

Seaward

11/18/17 10:54pm

I think any man has a right to speak truth at any moment. I do agree w/ ya

mantis mutu

11/19/17 11:45am

The only person to blame holds the purse strings.

JAGA97

11/18/17 11:03pm

Yep. It was us & our HCO that was in dire need of casting frugality to the curb.

Money is not at all the reason for where the BYU football program is now

Utah wasn’t outspending BYU in the MWC

icecougar

What a crybaby...

icecougar

11/19/17 12:09am

We plateaued with bronco. We needed to try something different…

zerome4sooners

11/19/17 4:38am

Mission accomplished. We stopped wining most of the time. Totally different.

YSMACK

11/19/17 11:07pm

That guy needs to just shut up right now.
