WaybackCougar

12/15/14 10:36am

4th, no wonder he is so dang good

Jericho

12/15/14 10:38am

Well, at least its 4th and not 5th

CBaass

12/15/14 10:38am

Dang! Hack-alicious

CBaass

12/15/14 10:39am

To be fair, football is 4th for Peyton, not 5th

dchandle15

12/15/14 10:38am

I put it in there with his job/career

Q-grr

12/15/14 12:31pm

He doesnt list friends--wow thats a big time and energy commitment--LOL

Here is the deal and why the football 5th whiners have it wrong.

Here is where the football is 5th whiners have it right.

Yep, he likes to play these cards when he has an insufficiently prepared team.

Consider yourself corrected

Where is the correction? He made the Pharisee

when was it ever used an an excuse by the coaches? Ever?

Jericho

12/15/14 2:58pm

A couple times at least, don't have time to look up any quotes now.

mr_thekid

12/15/14 10:15pm

Take your time. I expect I will be waiting for a while anyway

Jericho

12/16/14 10:54am

And these quotes need to explicitly say it. Not just reflect your world view

bald man

12/17/14 5:17am

And/or not landing big recruits, or losing them to transfer.

MatthiasG

12/15/14 4:02pm

That's my thought. It feels like an excuse.

Harrison0Yfan

12/15/14 5:06pm

Doesn't Payton have any friends?

BYUBandfan

12/15/14 10:41am

being a Hall of Fame QB is a lonely existence.

yahtzee

12/15/14 10:43am

Yeah, but when Bronco says that (or anything) it must be idiotic.

runnincoug

12/15/14 10:42am

very good point....

sundance

12/15/14 7:37pm

actually he does include friends.

yahtzee

12/15/14 10:47am

By saying Football is Fourth? Yeah... sliced it right up!

Accipiter

12/15/14 10:51am

Imagine that, a bag head dismissing anything favorable to Bronco

Freddie Cougar

12/15/14 11:09am

For schoolkids. Not for folks to whom football is a profession.

Accipiter

12/15/14 10:54am

What about student athletes?

Jericho

12/15/14 10:56am

You wanna know why it's problematic for me?

Accipiter

12/15/14 11:25am

That's quite the stretch there

Jericho

No.

The Y's Insider

Tell it to Elder Perry

Accipiter

12/15/14 12:16pm

Talking to schoolkids is clearly where he feels he should be open and honest

WaybackCougar

12/15/14 11:09am

Come on, guys, it's the same list!

WaybackCougar

12/15/14 11:02am

And if you pressed him on kids vs. professionals, he'd still agree

runnincoug

12/15/14 11:28am

like he know anything about football.

The Cognitive Dissonance by some of the brown baggers in this thread is

Crucial phrase: 'when it's schoolkids'

spinner

12/15/14 11:30am

He said he wouldn't rank football higher than 4th, ever, even for himself

Revisit this question in a few years when your perspective changes.

Only works if you're winning.

Love Manning's take - but difference with Bronco is

Coug Dude

12/15/14 11:36am

A coach who has a 90-38 record and 9 straight winning seasons is not a winner?

BeardedSpock

Breaking news!

Cougartranslator

12/15/14 11:43am

"Football is 5th" is the dumbest thing that CB whines about..

Anae4Anae

12/15/14 11:46am

that and gym memberships

Ft Worth Cougar

12/15/14 11:52am

Only slight less dumb is criticizing Bronco for saying he has high goals

runnincoug

12/15/14 12:01pm

Imagine what CB would say if Bronco said "BYU should accept its limitations

BeardedSpock

12/15/14 12:15pm

No kidding. There are legitimate things to criticize Bronco about, but the ones

runnincoug

12/15/14 12:21pm

While I agree, from a PR perspective it is not the smartest thing for a coach to

Thrill

12/15/14 12:44pm

Actually, I think it's the 5th dumbest thing.

WaybackCougar

12/15/14 11:52am

...CB whines about.

WaybackCougar

12/15/14 11:52am

I agree 100% with Payton. Think Bronco is wrong about putting friends in there.

VenetianCougar

12/15/14 12:01pm

I'd trust President Hinckley's counsel over Manning's (or Bronco's).

mr_thekid

12/15/14 1:10pm

God, church, family, and friends all prefer winners to losers

How many LDS attorneys advertise their list of priorities, bragging that their

LV Mike

12/15/14 4:01pm

"Decent Atty". If they have any decency, how can they be a good atty.

MatthiasG

12/15/14 5:47pm

Yes, yes, yes. This. I wrote about what you say at length months ago.

MarylandFan

12/15/14 5:59pm

How many LDS attorneys are mentoring 105 young men?

ALC

12/15/14 6:50pm

Probably a goodly percentage of stake presidents fit that category

Accipiter

12/15/14 7:56pm

and right there you nailed it. Bronco shouldn't be mentoring those boys.

JamesDean

12/15/14 8:29pm

Sorry, that's part of coaching, we all do it

ALC

12/15/14 9:28pm

It's very much secondary.

JamesDean

12/15/14 9:34pm

On the surface, yes, in reality no

ALC

12/16/14 7:44am

It's really nice that you think that, but you're wrong.

JamesDean

12/16/14 7:53am

Hired to win games is a given, but you really don't know coaching

ALC

12/16/14 8:33am

I do understand what you're saying.

JamesDean

12/16/14 8:57am

All good then

ALC

12/16/14 9:36am

What about people not playing football?

MarylandFan

12/16/14 8:48am

Not really relevant to the topic

ALC

12/16/14 9:39am

This is the topic though

MarylandFan

12/16/14 11:07am

Professors and teachers very often.

PolarisPrime

12/16/14 10:54am

Football players have all of those though.

MarylandFan

12/16/14 1:28pm

Coaches are special. Most any player will

PolarisPrime

12/16/14 1:51pm

Therein lies perhaps the material point - how was their football coaching?

MarylandFan

12/16/14 2:10pm

Why can't he do both?

Freddie Cougar

If I asked any professional

PolarisPrime

The priorities list is really pretty pointless. Peyton Manning puts God and

Ulysses14

12/16/14 10:32am

So how is that different than Bronco?

PolarisPrime

12/16/14 10:49am

Right. That's the point though -- at the end of the day the priority list

Ulysses14

12/16/14 1:02pm

The brethren put job as 3rd, Manning goes 4th...
