with a lot of experience. He was NOT a guy a couple years removed from being a player.

I'm not sure what you are getting at really. Are you saying BYU should hire inexperienced guys?

So, at what point is it Bronco's fault BYU is not excelling?

lawboy

Many never will question Bronco. They'll blame BYU for being BYU.

Grit for Brains

11/20/14 2:01pm

I often get that label, even though I do think he is responsible for some of it

binghammer

11/20/14 2:04pm

He should not get fired after this year, but

lawboy

11/20/14 2:13pm

I just look at the point he had all of his recruits and his coaches...

I want to know what people think changed from 2009 to 2010 with Bronco

binghammer

Defense is giving it a run for its money this year

CoopDizz

11/20/14 2:05pm

I think we could have been 10-0 potentially if Taysom were 100%

binghammer

11/20/14 2:07pm

Same goes for a D with Ziggy, KVN, Kav, and Tree

CoopDizz

11/20/14 2:08pm

Yeah, add in 4 guys who were either captains or PRO's on D, sure

binghammer

11/20/14 2:10pm

What does that have to do with the OP?

CoopDizz

11/20/14 2:20pm

I disagree, I think it is everything

binghammer

11/20/14 2:23pm

That's not even a response to what I said

CoopDizz

11/20/14 2:24pm

I didn't read your entire post. Just the second line.

Boise St scored 55 pts

Buck stops with the Bronco

Heinz57

11/20/14 2:07pm

I agree, but only because he is the only one the admin has any control over

binghammer

11/20/14 2:08pm

We are talking football, not administrative

Heinz57

11/20/14 2:12pm

I agree, I just don't think a head coach has as much control over the team

binghammer

11/20/14 2:13pm

If that is the case...

Heinz57

11/20/14 2:15pm

lol, no, don't try and change the subject

binghammer

11/20/14 2:26pm

What's the subject...

Smoke Monster

11/20/14 2:37pm

Fine with 500k...

Heinz57

11/20/14 3:07pm

No, that 25% counts for 25%, it can be a big difference

binghammer

11/20/14 3:32pm

LOL... but 25% is still 25%...

Smoke Monster

11/20/14 3:41pm

I didn't...

It has been 5 years of mediocre results. Next year is likely another 6-8 win

Mikey

11/20/14 2:21pm

I wouldn't call the last 5 years mediocre, even this year BYU is rated in the

Well, obviously we have different standards, which is why we have a different

Mikey

11/20/14 2:35pm

Based upon program expectations set by Bronco himself, they're mediocre

lawboy

11/20/14 2:47pm

The fact that we are having this conversation over the record we have this year

binghammer

11/20/14 3:33pm

And with that is also...

Heinz57

11/20/14 4:38pm

I choose "dump"

Mikey

11/20/14 4:40pm

This is why Bronco will be safe here for a long while...because long term

This is incorrect. Bronco has taken extreme heat this season, and so has the

Recruiting

lawboy

11/20/14 2:07pm

I don't agree, I think recruiting has been pretty good

binghammer

11/20/14 2:12pm

Recruiting has been fine everywhere except the lines

CoopDizz

11/20/14 2:23pm

Whitt has had a similar problem recruiting and developing the QB position...

Go sit at the Wilk for an hour and think about what you just wrote. Just look at

Tsisquan

11/20/14 2:15pm

Are we really arguing over who is responsible for the performance of the team?

CalGTR

11/20/14 2:30pm

The discussion is a bit more nuanced.

lawboy

11/20/14 2:38pm

Ah, but that's not what you asked. You've now exposed your agenda.

CalGTR

11/20/14 2:59pm

First off, I have no agenda.

lawboy

11/20/14 3:54pm

Well, you said a lot of things, didn't you? Notice that the question you posted,

CalGTR

11/20/14 5:03pm

You're being obtuse

lawboy

11/20/14 6:47pm

Not being obtuse, I just don't accept the underlying premise of your question.

CalGTR

11/20/14 11:26pm

Wow, you sure read a lot between the lines and I would argue

sah22

I think we have two attorneys duking it out on CB. Go Lawboy!

Where were Doug Scovil and Norm Chow OCs before they got the BYU job?

CoopDizz

11/20/14 2:45pm

What was BYU when those guys were hired?

CasualFan

11/20/14 2:47pm

It's an argument built on hot air and nothing more - faulty as all get out

CoopDizz

11/20/14 2:48pm

Chow was also a long-time QB coach

CasualFan

11/20/14 2:52pm

I'm saying BYU should hire the best guy for the job

CoopDizz

11/20/14 2:56pm

Ok. perhaps I should be more clear

CasualFan

11/20/14 2:58pm

You definitely want someone who has shown in some way that he can handle it

CoopDizz

11/20/14 3:18pm

right. Example: Anae vs Doman

icecougar

11/21/14 2:08pm

Scovil started coaching in the early 50's and coached in the NFL before BYU...

icecougar

Read all the way to the end of the conversation before you respond

CoopDizz

11/21/14 8:04am

yes, it's confusing...

icecougar

11/21/14 2:26pm

It's hard to credit Bronco for Taysom Hill when even he admits he fell to BYU.

Mantis Mutu

11/20/14 2:47pm

Yeah, but he didn't fall to Utah or UCLA or

CasualFan

11/20/14 2:50pm

After a 2 yr mish, I'm not sure he was high enough on anyone's radar

Mantis Mutu

11/20/14 2:56pm

Did he come because it was BYU, or because of Bronco

HawkeyeCoug

11/20/14 3:29pm

likely because it was BYU, same as with Harvey Langi...

icecougar

Bronco is failing at developing and preparing the team IMO
