Question.

In my view, Bronco's schedule has had harder opponents. That's not scientific, just gut feeling. Is there any data that can compare the relative strength of the two coachs' opponents during that time frame?

Based on SportsReference.com Lavell's SOS for the first 138 games is -1.42 Bronc

There is no way LaVell's first 138 games were as difficult SOS as Bronco's

Fair question. Tough since no one goes back to 1972. But likely Bronco has faced

I think Bronco had more difficult teams to play but he took over a program

I tend to agree... especially the later portions.

Lavell also had jack squat to work with in 1972

Lavell had a passing offense in a running era

LaVell wasn't given a passing offense. He created it from scratch.

So, Lavell was left with a pretty good situation then.

^^^This is what people forget. Comparing Bronco to LaVell is just stupid.

Are you serious Clark? LaVell inherited a 5-6 team

Lavell inherited Pete Van Valkenburg, NFL draftee and nation's leading rusher

After he takes us there, does CB throw him a "Beat LaVell to 125" anticipation

CB will want to fire him, again

I gave up on Bronco in 2012. I then gave him another chance last year.

I felt the same after the season

They were there. You can see posts on CB from back then
