I'll never understand why you people go to such great lengths to defend Bronco.

If you're going to dump a successful coach, you better have a pretty sure fire

Freddie Cougar

Don't disagree

checoug

11/27/15 2:30pm

Successful is a relative word here, but I get your point.

Ken has had more success than any service academy coach since the 1980s.

flyusaf

But BYU had 3 poor seasons seasons prior to Bronco

I've seen enough to think he would be at least as successful....

That's exactly right. To them Bronco > BYU.

Patently false

I have said little in support of Bronco today

LOL...ok Doc.

Kerbouchard

11/27/15 2:01pm

No come back, as I thought.

2FarGone

11/27/15 2:03pm

How could I possibly come back from that? You are obviously inside my head.

Kerbouchard

11/27/15 2:07pm

But even painting everyone who wants a coaching change as "crazy Bronco haters"

Epileptic Beagle

11/27/15 2:03pm

That is very fair, but you kind of did the same attack

2FarGone

11/27/15 2:04pm

How so? I didn't put any kind of condescending label on them. The OP was spawned

Epileptic Beagle

11/27/15 2:08pm

Crazy Bronco Haters or Crazy Bronco Lovers? What's the difference?

2FarGone

11/27/15 2:10pm

Nope

Epileptic Beagle

11/27/15 2:14pm

Seriously, my bad then.

2FarGone

11/27/15 2:24pm

If the change doesn't necessarily need to be Bronco, what does it need to be?

Kerbouchard

11/27/15 2:10pm

The Utah argument is probably the one I agree with most when it comes to

My bad. I over-generalized, and I shouldn't have. But the results are what

Epileptic Beagle

11/27/15 2:25pm

Bronco is almost to 100 wins. I agree, results do matter.

Y2k

11/27/15 8:42pm

How many of those wins came against D1 programs above Five hundred? IOW

CarolinaCoug

11/27/15 9:48pm

I would love to have this metric for every college football program. My guess

Y2k

11/27/15 10:28pm

BYU was FAVORED in all but one game, by multiple points in most of those...

Tell me our better options before you throw out "ridiculous".

Countcougula

11/27/15 2:24pm

WHY???? Do you know how a new coach would turn out?? The reality I don't know

OC Coug

11/27/15 2:31pm

You may have a point. I'm more on your side than you think.

Good grief... For the love of all things holy, read and REREAD OC Coug's posts.

Oh good, cause I'm not really looking for "help" from you

Countcougula

11/27/15 2:52pm

They don't, just like NO ONE in D1 wanted BM as their HC 10 years ago

OC Coug

11/27/15 2:28pm

There is plenty of ridicule coming from both sides here. Silly to think it all

workindev

Never a sin to defend BYU and it's coaches and players.

chestercougar

This is quite possibly the silliest thing I've read here in a while.

Yup. A response worthy of the original thread.
