..."silent majority" on CB share some of the same opinions with many who help fund the program at a very high level and make it possible for Bronco to earn his millions (which btw he has expressed he doesn't like coaches getting big salaries and thinks its a major problem in collegel football).
The fact that Tom Holmoe was very slow to offer Bronco a contract extension after the very disappointing 2012 season including the disappointing way Bronco handled the whole Riley Nelson debacle and that Tom insisted on getting some commitments and assurances from Bronco before giving him the contract and that he waited until nearly the beginning of the next season indicates that TH shared some feelings of dissatisfaction with the "silent majority" in the way Bronco has been running the program.
I don't think it's such a silent majority, just different dissatisfied fans of the program have different ways of making their points and getting Bronco's attention.
