Has Dave Rose ever lost 8 straight games? That right there is the equivalent to

losing 3 straight football games. There are different expectations for the basketball then football team and a lot of that has to do with the differences in the number of games and sports in general so not sure you can just compare winning percentage straight across. Also, of note at least Rose has recruited his best players, Bronco on the other hand has not recruited most of his best players.

Why are fans giving Dave Rose a pass?

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:07am

because he is not Bronco. And very few fan bases can hate both FB & BB coaches.

You're not going to convince anyone of Bronco's greatness by bashing Rose

BlueK

10/22/14 8:09am

I'm not saying Bronco's great or Rose is lame. I'm saying they're the same

runnincoug

welcome to Bronco's life on CB!

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:35am

I dont think those who have gone after Bronco have turned around and proclaimed

concolor couguar

10/22/14 8:43am

the sports are not the same, so good comparisons are not really possible

BlueK

10/22/14 8:14am

Because basketball isn't football.

10/22/14 8:10am

Great logic … but how is it really that different? Is losing to Loyola

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:13am

In basketball you can lose to the worst team in the country...

10/22/14 8:14am

not only that, but the nature of the game is different and makes those kinds of

BlueK

10/22/14 8:18am

So the lack of a football inclusive playoff means Bronco is a worse coach?

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:20am

The best way I can sum up your comparison is like this:

10/22/14 8:21am

The Jimmer season bought Rose more time. Bronco hasn't had a season like that

Walter Bellhaven

10/22/14 8:11am

This would have been Bronco's Jimmer season if Taysom hadn't been injured

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:14am

That is what happens when you base your success on a running QB with

Walter Bellhaven

10/22/14 8:17am

Very true! I think we all knew it was only a matter of time he could potentially

10/22/14 8:25am

You're right. It was dumb of Rose to put all of his eggs and shot attempts in

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:27am

Is that an accurate comparison? Be honest.

Walter Bellhaven

10/22/14 8:29am

All that shooting may have worn out Jimmer's arm. Just as predictable as a

concolor couguar

10/22/14 8:45am

My point is all of Rose's eggs were in that one basket, as evidenced by

runnincoug

10/22/14 9:51am

But there is far less chance that that fails than a running QB

Walter Bellhaven

10/22/14 10:13am

Sure, I agree with everything you said. My main point is that the Jimmer team

runnincoug

10/22/14 11:23am

Rose has plenty of critics on this board

Schultz is back

10/22/14 8:22am

To be honest, I think he has done a pretty poor job as of late.

thebruce

10/22/14 8:12am

also, even if we had Taysom, our team still wouldn't be a legit top 10 team.

thebruce

10/22/14 8:16am

Rose's defense was a train wreck too that year, and Bronco has beaten Texas

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:18am

his defense was solid that year. Jackson, KC, Abouo, Hartsock, and even Davies

thebruce

10/22/14 8:29am

Defense was top 3 in the conference if you consider pace

concolor couguar

10/22/14 8:30am

Wait are you talking 2011? or last year?

concolor couguar

10/22/14 8:31am

You're right, I got my years mixed up. It was after that year that D went down

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:36am

I was referring to the defense last year. It was average last year given pace

Fire Dave Rose!

1. Rose is more personally like-able than Bronco.

10/22/14 8:14am

I really think this is it…if we admit it, it's just because Rose is easier to

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:17am

If this was Bronco's first chance at a "Jimmer" season then you'd have a point.

shoganai

10/22/14 8:22am

It just seems petty to say, "Fire the coach because, er, he doesn't love me"

runnincoug

10/22/14 8:23am

That does seem petty. Who said that?

shoganai

10/22/14 8:24am

If you admit that we don't like Bronco because of his personality instead of

10/22/14 8:26am

Very few people on CB want to fire Bronco.

They did a poll on this. I actually think it's like 50/50, and the 50% wanting

Look at the numbers, Duke Football still makes more than double what Duke

TheDeek

Duke fans don't care more about Duke football. The money comes from P5

and yet, in the last few years, they've learned how to play the foosball

And The Lego Movie made a bunch more money than 12 Years a Slave

I'd rather watch The Lego Movie than Duke Basketball... talk about a snooze fest

This... when Basketball stinks, BYU loses maybe $1MM.... When Football stinks

TheDeek

so it's just about money? In that case, let's let Holmoe decide if Bronco is ok

It's always about Money... P5 vs G5 is all about money

There is not really much that separates Rose and Bronco at this point

Every Rose has its thorn

Because he had cancer.

John Doe

there's something to be said for this. Rose won the media overcoming that

But he's also the best basketball coach we've ever had
