At BYU I believe the line between great and a disaster is a very fine line.

BYU has been blessed over the last 42 years to have 2 great coaches. To be a successful coach at BYU you have to please the admin and the General Authorities first and foremost. If that is lacking, you will be gone before you get started. They must trust you will not allow BYU football become what we saw in 2002-2004.

You must realize BYU is unique. We are not one of the big boys. We are selling a life changing experience. We are selling helping boys become men. We are selling putting aside what normal 18-24 year olds do and commit to a much different and often weird way of life. Translation: our recruiting pool shrinks dramatically.

Once here, there is tough discipline to represent the University correctly.

You can advocate firing Bronco till you're blue in the face, but there are VERY few coaches who can manage all that BYU requires. And Bronco does enough right and has his priorities in line with the admin to a degree that I doubt most coaches can achieve.

And he wins enough against the schedule he is given. He was in line this year to have a terrific record, maybe his best ever at BYU. The mountain of injuries are unfortunate and unheard of. I do not think the admin and the church officers will be so short sighted as to hold it against him. Not when he is managing all other aspects of the program as they want him to do.

BYU's coach juggles a lot of balls in the air at once, more so than any other Football program. I fear switching coaches has a very real possibility of all those balls coming crashing down.
