was not a message that Bronco was unhappy and wanted to make some changes. Bronco just likes to make sure all his coaches know he's in charge, right? Why didn't Anae go through Bronco's hoops after the 2010 season? Why did he leave? If Bronco wanted to keep him, couldn't he have just ditched the new requirement? The record is pretty clear. Bronco ran Anae off. Perhaps that was not Bronco's intention. Maybe he was trying to run off Reynolds and keep Anae. More likely, Bronco couldn't make a decision any better than he could decide between Heaps or Nelson early in the season.
No, Bronco did not "fire" Anae. But, Bronco did not keep him around, either.
