Bronco didn't define success that way

That is not how he defined success for the 100th time.

He called it a standard, but it doesn't mean that anything less isn't success.

Why is our team constantly reinventing the teams' respective cultures?

Perhaps it's because of the heavier role of athlete leadership. You see, the

srey

Yes, but other teams deal with that same issue.

ebv

Isn't 8-5 every year consistency?

If you look at 90% of the football posts on this board, we want "CHANGE CHANGE

darkcoug

Change that leads to consistent success, yes.

ebv

3/31/15 1:48pm

Change in more wins/fewer losses d/t crappy hires, not really culture.

3/31/15 1:54pm

Change came five years too late..

CB told me that Bronco never changes

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 1:50pm

Basically because the team turns over about 1/3 of the players every year

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/31/15 1:52pm

Neat, so culture is dependent on the athletes?

ebv

3/31/15 1:56pm

Actually, to be honest I think your premise is false

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/31/15 2:05pm

Bronco record is result of his choices...

Heinz57

3/31/15 2:23pm

I think you mean "Faulty"

ebv

3/31/15 2:32pm

With all due respect, I disagree

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/31/15 2:58pm

That's to ebv point though...

Heinz57

3/31/15 3:17pm

I think you need to decide what culture is

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/31/15 3:33pm

Bronco standard is

Heinz57

3/31/15 3:57pm

Has the SLC media types asked that question to Bronco

Heinz57

3/31/15 2:02pm

Hmmm, not sure 8-5 this year would be that big of a disappointment

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 2:04pm

According to Bronco's

Heinz57

3/31/15 2:07pm

If you say so

kimdaddy35

3/31/15 2:10pm

Still short of Bronco "standard"

Heinz57

Bronco didn't define success that way

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/31/15 2:12pm

That is his standard

Heinz57

3/31/15 2:25pm

Schools that fire coaches for going 8-5 are stupid (see Nebraska).

Kajdin

3/31/15 2:21pm

Or brilliant (see Utah with McBride)

ebv

3/31/15 2:24pm

Please by all means if you know a mormon Urban send the info to TH.

Kajdin

3/31/15 2:30pm

I'd love to, but who knew then what Urban would become?

ebv

3/31/15 2:33pm

okay find a mormon coach taking MAC schools to 10+ wins seasons

Kajdin

3/31/15 2:36pm

Kalani Sitake

Heinz57

3/31/15 2:33pm

Even more unproven that Urban was.

Kajdin

3/31/15 2:35pm

Advantage Kalani has over Urban

Heinz57

3/31/15 2:37pm

Solich was fired after a 9-3 regular season

HuskerFan2

3/31/15 2:35pm

I agree with this point.

ebv

3/31/15 2:23pm

I believe BYU will surprise folks this year offensively

Heinz57

3/31/15 2:29pm

Agreed. If our defense is at all stout, we could have a special season.

ebv

3/31/15 2:34pm

That would be something to see, two elite units in the same year

Heinz57

3/31/15 2:36pm

I have had similar thoughts/questions. I also wonder if many/all ncaa teams are

3/31/15 2:54pm

Good grief, that's an easy one....

ZooBlue

3/31/15 2:58pm

If it's just about getting players into and invested in the culture, I agree.

ebv

3/31/15 3:28pm

Coaches can only lay the foundation - the real personality comes from the team

ZooBlue

3/31/15 3:37pm

I don't disagree, but you have to provide the framework for the players

ebv

3/31/15 7:59pm

And hopefully BYU 2015 on....

ZooBlue

3/31/15 9:53pm

We're still on the quest...for perfection.

It is ironic the most mature program in all of football is most needy

You practically have a brand new team every 2 years, when you consider
