2006 (16/15), 2007 (14/14), 2009 (12/12). Isn't that the equivalent of "sweet 16"?

POLL: Approval Rating: Dave Rose

Art Director

The severe tank we saw from BYU's defense last year is very concerning.

SandYFan

I love Coach Rose, but I don't think we have great assistant coaches.

If you're a BYU fan and honestly answered "Strongly Disapprove"

Indy Coug

I didn't answer Strongly Disapprove, but I do find it interesting how different

No, the results are not similar.

How is the S16 = to a NY6 bowl?

That is the most ridiculous compare ever - add 150 UNLVs in football

OC Coug

Do you really think that there are the same number of good teams in

Gentleman Stan

8/24/15 7:59pm

I disagree. There is a lot more parity in basketball than there is in Football.

workindev

8/24/15 6:25pm

Its not even close

OC Coug

8/24/15 6:36pm

You're not disagreeing with me then. That's what the facts demonstrate.

Gentleman Stan

8/24/15 8:04pm

Having one player stand out is an accomplishment as a coach?

Is that so? You don't think Bronco having a Heisman winner would have made

First, Rose's peak is 2 years more recent than Bronco's. And Rose's

You know EVERY YEAR Rose's team will choke and under perform. He is exactly

Dude, Worthington started for BYU last year. Just contemplate that for a minute

How many "Worthington" or worse players start in FB? If he was the best we have

I like Rose, but like others have stated, I find it odd he escapes the same

Now that's just ridiculous. Why risk damaging a perfectly good garage door???

Seriously. Same even for "disapprove".

tony

Why all the Rose love and the hating on Bronco?

AzCoug1

8/24/15 3:38pm

Rose has one of the 10 highest winning percentages of all active coaches

Indy Coug

I have a patented hashtag that explains it all!

Goatnapper'96

Where does Bronco fall in this area ?

ManicBlue

8/24/15 3:45pm

He's only 13th amongst active coaches

Indy Coug

8/24/15 3:47pm

Wow ... horrible

ManicBlue

How's he doing vs Utah? That's what I thought...

How did Rose do against mighty Pepperdine last year? San Diego?

Have to be fair here. Rose has played Utah's worst teams in history and Bronco

That being said, Bronco is terrible at rivalry games. BYU has been favored in

No doubt. Bronco has been awful in the rivalry. But it's just not fair to

Getting to the Sweet Sixteen is light years beyond what Bronco has

SandYFan

8/24/15 3:45pm

and football's post-season is setup completely differently too

ManicBlue

8/24/15 3:47pm

Easier to make a bowl than make it into the Round of 64.

SandYFan

8/24/15 3:49pm

maybe ...

ManicBlue

8/24/15 4:04pm

You only have to be 6-6 to go to a bowl. Some teams hoops teams don't make the

BearsandBulls

8/24/15 4:03pm

If that was so easy, wouldn't more teams be doing it every year ?

ManicBlue

8/24/15 4:14pm

There are 39 bowl games including the semi-finals and national championship game

BearsandBulls

8/24/15 4:42pm

One more time ...

ManicBlue

I think most P5 programs would have gone to bowl games as consistently as

BearsandBulls

I guess we'll just have to go with what you 'think' rather than any actual facts

ManicBlue

He provided several mathematical facts and you side-stepped them.

swingcat

If you'll note ...

Actually Bronco has finished in the top 16 three times

There aren't a similar number of competitive teams in

Jimmer, Sweet 16, Utah, he's not weird, etc...

Walter Bellhaven

Because Rose is not owned by Yewtah, for starters.

Kerbouchard

8/24/15 3:52pm

the last two years beg to differ

gmj81

8/24/15 5:12pm

Rose has arguably faced easier Utah teams than Bronco.

southernfriedcougar

8/25/15 12:53am

Really?

Gerald-DeGroot

8/24/15 3:59pm

Approve. Strongly Approve is not warranted until NCAA tourney win % increases.

Kerbouchard

8/24/15 3:54pm

^^^ I approve this message ^^^

AzCoug1

8/24/15 4:04pm

I got a thumbs down for this? Good grief...

Kerbouchard

8/24/15 4:33pm

amen. I'm happy with both coaches but certainly each have weaknesses

gmj81

8/24/15 5:14pm

Needs some conference hardware, too.

ag4cougs

8/24/15 6:47pm

yep. His post season play doesn't warrant strongly approve.

Arguably our best coach ever

Coaching Tree...

2 D1 head coaches in 10 years is a solid coaching tree. Who has flamed out?

wisconsincougs

Rooese and Rice were the two that I was thinking of.
