in the 70s, 80s, and 90s players just ended up at Utah, those players were never really vested in the program.

They're still a good 10-20 years away from that point. All the former players who feel that the coaches/school love them so much, actually played for the current coach. Whit hasn't had to tell any former player's kids that they aren't good enough for Utah, so none of them have been "burned" so to speak.

I thinj BYU/Bronco can do better, but let's not pretend that the majority of Lavell's guys feel disenfranchised, the vocal minority is yelling the loudest like always, and most have a bone to pick and/or for a variety of reasons, they don't agree with how Bronco is doing things with regard to church and football.
