Good for bronco. Dude deserves some credit.

Idahofallsblue

10/10/17 11:01pm

Oh my, you mean he was a great coach

Remember when El Jefe had to say a "Fire Bronco" campaign was not appropriate?

90's hairband Cinderella said it best: "don't know what you got, till it's gone"

It kinda sad

10/11/17 1:36pm

Very solid points. Despite the consistent 8 - 9 wins, I miss Bronco.

BlueForLife

10/10/17 11:23pm

I'd love 8 wins this year!

byukarl

10/10/17 11:24pm

And Bronco would likely have delivered another 8 or 9 win season.

BlueForLife

10/10/17 11:31pm

And he would have told us how stupid we are for not loving it

UberDeek

10/11/17 3:45am

Well...he's got a point

buffgato

And sensitive entitled fans would have gotten their feefees hurt

Mike Honcho

I'm offended - It is not FeeFees, I like to call mine Feelies

What are you, Mr. McFeeley?

My guess is Bronco would've been 3-3 at this point,

BlueFever

That sounds like paradise compared to the reality we're facing

jbcoug

10/11/17 6:33am

But not paradise had Mendenhall never left...

BlueFever

10/11/17 7:20am

That is exactly what I would have predicted. Don't know what you have until it's

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:04am

I have to admit,

BlueFever

10/11/17 8:33am

Yes it was, but I didn't know who we could bring in to get better results.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:40am

And it looks like we still don't know.

BlueFever

10/11/17 8:51am

Still possible. Even with a loss to MSU

Y05

Hard to argue the results.

I think during his tenure he reached his ceiling with the talent he had.

GA_Coug

10/10/17 11:46pm

Not many teams could roll through easily

byukarl

10/11/17 12:00am

That’s pretty much the talent Sitake will be able to get I’d say that’s BYU‘s

franklyvulgar

10/11/17 12:03am

It's not about getting a huge jump in talent at the top.

Lip Gallagher

10/11/17 2:24am

But its not only about getting the talent but developing it

gmj81

10/11/17 5:31am

Well, maybe Sitake's ceiling is even lower.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:05am

Maybe it's not Bronco's ceiling, but BYU's.

Freddie Cougar

You may be onto something

indocoug

That's a great list of 3 very underrated coaches ...

Chareth Cutestory

10/10/17 11:51pm

Demonstrates that BYU's natural place, without a great coach, is sub .500

keylimesoda

10/11/17 3:05am

1 losing season in 13 years feels that way to you?

Definitely not sub 500. Our recruiting rankings about 50-60 most yeard. That

BlueForLife

With restrictions such as the honor code, BYU will rarely ever if not never be a

Really? Possibly never be ranked again? Do you not realize we have faxed similar

BlueForLife

It's harder w/ a P5 program in the backyard and it's associated P5s recruiting

Hyperbole. BYU had top 25 teams when they had NFL players at the skill

UVA coaches show was on last night as I was driving home...Bronco

Sometimes you learn from your mistakes. Also, easy for people to love you when

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:12am

And UVA likely to be 7-1 and bowl eligible in three more weeks.

gmj81

10/11/17 8:17am

7-1 is HIGHLY unlikely. I expect UVA to go 6-6 on the season

Dissenter

10/11/17 8:38am

Look at their schedule. Very possible

BYU '80

10/11/17 9:11am

They are 4-1 now and the next 3 games are @UNC, BC, @Pitt. Not a tough road

Don’t underestimate the impact of being hired by your ecclesiastical leaders.

Local media here was soured by his religious references and he never recovered from that. He doesn't have that

Rhino84

10/11/17 8:32am

That's because the local media is made up of idiots.

Freddie Cougar

10/11/17 10:40am

My criticism of Bronco is that he almost never

deljdc

10/11/17 8:59am

That's pretty much every coach.

Freddie Cougar

10/11/17 10:41am

Results are what matters. Like it or not, Bronco did it the right way. No knock

Bronco is a phenomenal coach at a couple things

gww687

Glad to see props going to Bronco but it is still way too early to be handingout
