Completely agree. However, I will say it was time for a change—for both

BM and BYU. We just ended up with the wrong staff (and a cheap resource budget that has set us back immensely).

We need a coach that can establish and define a culture. Bronco’s stern affect

I would die for 8 wins this year. Or 7 or even 6.

I would love that too. Some of us (me for sure) took 8 wins for granted.

That’s a great question. Sometimes it’s hard to predict who can set culture

Some may not like it but Dr. ANAE

Yes, and he’d be more qualified than at least 90%

Similar reasons to why Chow should have got the job after LaVell, but some

Chow?! Yeah, he did such a great job at Hawaii as HC, right?

Kerbouchard

Give me a break. BYU in 2001 is not similar at all to Hawaii a few years ago

Kalani doesn’t have the organizational skills to do it...unless he learns from Bronco’s reading list

It takes more than books you either have it or you Don't for the most part could

Bronco’s “outstanding seasons” all happened in the MWC.

They also happened to be the years when he had healthy QBs.

Bronco was mocked for running it like a business. I never understood why.

SlantRoute

11/21/17 7:01am

He got mocked because that always gave the impression he was running a business,

Polecat

11/21/17 8:14am

Still, Bronco’s approach would’ve yielded 6-7 wins at least this season.

SlantRoute

11/21/17 10:45am

Definitely. I was just stating why it bothered people, myself included.

That's what Bronco did, and Sitake seemed to miss on.

I think that’s fair Change was needed, and we made the wrong change.

A Guru?

Are you suggesting the team “needs a little motivation”?

11/21/17 10:26am

the latter half of Bronco's tenure BYU became a very undisciplined...

Forget the star rankings and look at what the players did over their careers...

How many years did it take for Bronco to field a decent team after the Crowton debacle?

11/21/17 10:56am

Um, the W-L record is a really good indicator

There are plenty of other factors affecting the W-L record.
