Bronco absolutely tried to absolve himself of criticism
From the Deseret News:
"For example, near the end of his 14-minute address Mendenhall chided football boosters for their choice to grill him about the Cougars' 17-16 loss at the University of Texas last week instead of bask in the bigger picture of what the BYU football program is accomplishing. And by invoking a Biblical comparison involving the Jews who persecuted Jesus, Mendenhall pulled no punches.
"As I stood in front of the Cougar Club (Thursday), it felt like I was in front of the Pharisees and the Sadducees," he said."
He played the football-is-fifth card as a way to shut down football-related criticism.
