It was critical that BYU show continued success post-Lavell, proving we're not a one-coach phenomenon.

We've been at least good, and sometimes very good, for 40 years now. Lavell gets HUGE credit, but Bronco's contribution was also extremely critical.

High five Bronco!

Agree.

Bronco leaving was a win-win for BYU

I agree. He gets to much hate on CB

He built the foundation from which this can be launched. Thanks coach.

You're talking about this guy, right?

AndyDwyer

Absolutely agree. I amend my post to say Bronco rebuilt the foundation .. .

osbooks

He built the foundation but Bronco had to carry the torch

Who carried the torch?

StantonMac

Yes. If we went 43-99 instead of 99-43 with him, we'd be out of the running.

Indy Coug

7/25/16 4:22pm

Absolutely. All modern perceptions of BYU football are based on Bronco's teams.

Crowton deserves some credit too

Imagine if Bronco recruited literally a fraction of what Kalani is doing

Y4LYFE

7/25/16 4:32pm

i'm no bronco fan boy but there has been no actual difference yet in recruiting

nashty

LOL Bronco left the cupboards stacked for Kalani and Detmer, and we haven't seen

Taysom, tanner, Tuiloma, JW...all elite. All bronco guys right?

BYUfan92

7/25/16 8:12pm

Taysom fell in Bronco's lap thanks to Stanford. Bronco gets no credit for that.

I have never once seen you give Bronco credit for anything good. With each post

This is the Taysom story

But Crowton recruited the guys that won during Bronco's first 5 years, no?

notsofast

7/25/16 4:47pm

From 2006-2009, Guys passing and running the ball were mostly Bronco's.

Blue Cat

7/25/16 5:15pm

Not all players that played those first 5 years were all "Crowtons" it generally

TheLoneCougar

7/25/16 7:47pm

I'd say Lavell gets most the credit. Bronco gets a nod for not messing it up.

Jeffe

7/25/16 5:33pm

I can appreciate Bronco for what he has done. He is a good coach.

IndependentGeorge

7/25/16 5:41pm

Give me a break.....he's gone and I am happy that he is gone

chirocoug

7/25/16 6:59pm

You could be happy that we haven't been 43-99 like we probably would have been

His blow outs of Texas did not hurt as well!

Gene Frenkle

7/25/16 7:25pm

Lavell blew out a top 5 ranked Texas, no way Bronco does that

chirocoug

7/25/16 7:30pm

Oh, the 1988 Texas Longhorns that finished 4-7?

matthodge

7/25/16 7:38pm

Texas was ranked 19th in AP at the time of the game

Indy Coug

7/25/16 8:10pm

Texas was ranked #3 at kickoff

chirocoug

7/25/16 8:17pm

I think you've mixed up your 2009 Oklahoma with your 1988 Texas.

Six Foot Seven

7/26/16 6:57am

Yeah, the 2013 team is clearly the best Texas team BYU has beaten

matthodge

7/25/16 8:29pm

What are you talking about 1988 ...47-6 BYU

chirocoug

7/25/16 8:14pm

I repeat, that team finished 4-7, WORSE than either UT team Bronco beat

matthodge

7/25/16 8:41pm

How many times are you going to be clueless?

cajuncoug

Totally agree...good for all sides that he moved on....

sundance

He consistently beat teams that he should beat and went about 50/50 against P5.
