Derick is cherry picking in a pretty bad way when he argues that Bronco has cast aside former players. Fui, Atuaia, Anae, Two-Jay. The list of who ISN"T a former BYU "bad-butt" is much shorter than the list of who is.
He has found the one (although large) example and hung his hat on that.
I don't find it persuasive when he points out past NFL'ers who aren't coaching.
