First of all I always did like Bronco, and this former player actually brought up the topic.
He said that from those on the team he's spoken with, the players feel much more comfortable and confident to approach coaches like Detmer or Sitake and ask for additional help mastering their craft outside of practice.
He said when Bronco and Anae were here, no one would ever think about going to them to have one on one conversations about their position, assignments, role, etc. And that Bronco's voice was the dominant one heard during practice.
