He's outpaced every other coach in BYU history for wins, including LaVell, over a similar time span.
Expectations not being met is what is fueling all of this Bronco hate stuff. We had a good team this year and a favorable schedule and it didn't work out. We still were well over .500 and went to a bowl game. How many other schools can't say that? A lot. If we were to go strictly by wins/winning percentage for regular season or bowl games, he's unimpeachable. Newsflash: He's got the W's already! You can criticize him on other fronts, but not wins.
Let's also just say that some former players think they know EVERYTHING related to football. Buck is one of them. If that were true he'd be a HC at a major program by now. When you get former big shot players that aren't being schmoozed to their satisfaction, interviews like this are often the result. We've seen it with Via Sikahema, Hans, Poppinga and Buck, just to name a few. Also spurned players like Reilly are a dime a dozen. I love his quote. "I don't have a problem with BYU. I went 4-0 against them. But why didn't they offer me?" Clearly, still grinding that axe.
