Why I like Bronco Mendenhall as BYU's coach...

As I stated, he has made mistakes.

Zach

7/26/15 5:50pm

Plenty call time outs. Few try to ice a kicker on a PAT.

7/26/15 5:57pm

Not all mistakes are equal.

flyusaf

7/26/15 6:09pm

Exactly, firing Mendenhall would be a huge huge mistake.

Zach

7/26/15 7:20pm

Yeah we are lucky to have a coach so bold as to ice PATs.

flyusaf

May you also be judged repeatedly for a tiny choice you made in your job...

Lol man, this is priceless stuff. Just cute funny.

flyusaf

Funny how posters like you make things up about Bronco

7/27/15 11:08am

Like making up that we are now 5-4 vs utah?

Not sure you're getting it. Oh well.

yes some more than once. Crowton made mistakes too.....

icecougar

This is easily the funniest wordless response I have ever seen

MarylandFan

7/27/15 8:43am

I don't hate Bronco, but could give a rip about anything he does off the field.

Shimmy

7/26/15 5:51pm

I remember Crowton all to well. I do give a rip what happens off the field.

Zach

7/26/15 5:53pm

As I stated, it is a minimum job requirement. If a coach checks the box he gets

Shimmy

7/26/15 5:54pm

I agree that a clean program is a mandatory part of the job

Zach

7/26/15 5:56pm

80% of the kids Bronco recruits serve F/T missions, are former Eagle Scouts, etc

icecougar

7/27/15 11:55am

Yes it is, with Bronco at the helm the Honor Code office stays off the football

Wait a second. You like Bronco?!

El Joffrey

7/27/15 8:09am

Like we did from 1985-2000?

Littlerich

7/27/15 8:20am

Like winning the heisman, and going 15-1?

El Joffrey

7/27/15 8:21am

And BYU has had good seasons from 2005-2014

Littlerich

7/27/15 8:42am

I think you mean 2005 to 2009.

El Joffrey

7/27/15 8:43am

You wouldn't include a top 25 finish in 2010 as a good season?

db59840

2010 we went 7-6...

Littlerich

more like 2006-2009

icecougar

7/27/15 1:03pm

That's disingenuous. Like Saying Lavell had superb seasons from 1972-2000...

icecougar

7/27/15 1:16pm

Agreed. Signed the Heisman, 2 Outlands, the 1996 team, Ty Detmer...

icecougar

7/27/15 1:02pm

People are freaking about the 8-5 seasons, from 1985-2000 LaVell had 8 seasons

Littlerich

7/27/15 5:31pm

Since when is a 0.713 winning percentage mediocrity? And why is 0.716 not?

db59840

7/27/15 8:34am

BM had a good first 5 years.

El Joffrey

7/27/15 8:35am

Um...he had an excellent first 5 years. The last 5 years have just been good.

db59840

7/27/15 8:45am

the last 5 have just been so-so

icecougar

7/27/15 3:16pm

Because it's against sub-mediocre opponents

The old WAC was even softer. Our schedules over the last 5 years have

db59840

7/27/15 9:00am

I was weighing in on the oft visited debate about Mendenhall's record

MarylandFan

7/27/15 10:02am

Bronco didn't coach in the old WAC so comparisons to it are irrelevant...

icecougar

7/27/15 3:19pm

It's very relevant. When has BYU ever performed well against the elites of CFB?

I think differing expectations is the problem though. Fans who love Bronco

Ash

7/27/15 11:11am

Or realize that 8-5 is the norm for the last 40 years and that 10+ win seasons

db59840

7/27/15 2:35pm

I think this rant is really well stated... it does layout a unique perspective.

sundance

Wrong. You won't find too many on here that think byu should be a top 10 program

messi

The last 5 years have been bad. You can call 2011 a success if you want,

Being ranked for 3 weeks out of the total year is half the season?

Littlerich

declining is declining.

swingcat

Then give Bronco credit for elevating the program prior to the recent decline

Yeah. What team do these fans think they're rooting for? We're not Alabama.
