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

Yep. Also recruiting blunders and we plateaued at 8 wins per season for 4 yrs

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

OmahaThunderCoug

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

Bronco was a negative Nancy and hated fans. That never changed. He resented

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%

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

Kerbouchard

11/21/17 11:52am

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

Bonoman

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

If you were to pin me down...I would say Kalani doesn't have it...

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

Right but he never even came close to 3 and 10

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

Its funny how all of those healthy QBs played in the same offense

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.

Defintely? Maybe sure sefinitelt iseasy to debate.

CarolinaCoug

11/23/17 3:36pm

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

Agreed. Even though I can’t stand you. May see you at Christmas. Not sure yet

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

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...

We need a coach that can establish and define a culture. Really?

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

Brisco

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.
