Coaches were already on the hot seat before this season started. Here's why:

If all this is true, it's very interesting....

Adrielle

Ken N would not have sacrificed his retirement package to come to BYU.....yet.

I keep reading this, so I'll keep resposting

fan_byu

11/21/17 12:07pm

That actually is true, but he still gets many of the military benefits he would

rockhound

11/21/17 12:13pm

If he's a civilian working for the DOD, he gets a pension plus benefits

I have heard similar things. Less about KS himself and more about the general

specsauce

11/21/17 11:58am

I'd bet TH was less concerned about CB & fans than boosters

fan_byu

11/21/17 12:09pm

They are fans too.

coolblue

11/21/17 12:20pm

Empty stadiums don't help AD budgets. Next year will be embarrassing.

ag4cougs

11/21/17 8:07pm

Doubtful.

COACHdrn

11/21/17 11:49pm

of what? attendance and season ticket sales will be low.

ag4cougs

11/22/17 6:35am

Did you see how many people were at the last two games? We're like the...

Tom wanted more control; knew he wouldn't get that with Bronco.

jsjohnson1278

11/21/17 12:24pm

What does this mean? Why would he have wanted more control?

Dr T-bone

11/21/17 4:36pm

I'm a fan of Bronco, I really really hope Tom didn't make changes just because

Pretorian

11/21/17 12:26pm

There were some internal things; but telling a guy with 2 years on his contract

jsjohnson1278

11/21/17 12:33pm

wow... you seem to be an insider.... interesting stuff.

Pretorian

11/21/17 2:24pm

I'm a fan of BYU football.

Kerbouchard

11/21/17 7:32pm

So what if Bronco was ran out? That us independent of not hiring the right guy n

CarolinaCoug

11/21/17 1:05pm

The Bronco hate was so caught up in what he was NOT they missed what he WAS

Pretorian

11/21/17 2:39pm

Because it shows a complete lack of competence by the guy in charge of athletics

mtnKat

11/21/17 5:50pm

There is no way this is true, Bronco could have coached at BYU as long as he

kolob32

11/21/17 1:35pm

I am inclined to agree, but do you have any evidence that his job was safe???

Adrielle

11/21/17 2:49pm

probably as much evidence as OP which is basically nothing, common sense tells

kolob32

11/21/17 3:00pm

Fair enough.. But it's funny how many on here speak in absolutes

Adrielle

11/21/17 3:50pm

Good for you.

coolblue

11/21/17 3:38pm

You said "you get the feeling" about halfway into your post, let's be real

kolob32

11/21/17 3:43pm

That was the beginning of a separate subject. The Bronco and grade things are

coolblue

11/21/17 6:22pm

A fish rots from the head done

kahuna

11/21/17 3:08pm

Then he got pretty lucky with Bronco because that was a great hire.

Yunit

11/21/17 3:15pm

And Bronco was basically his 3rd choice.

mudpupper

11/21/17 3:41pm

3rd? No. If Reynolds was really second why did he not get the job?

Yunit

11/21/17 8:11pm

Because about 30 players marched into Tom's office

pygmalion

11/22/17 7:02am

You're confusing Bronco with Rudy Ruettiger. It was a few guys it wasn't

Yunit

11/22/17 11:23am

You are wrong on two counts:

Reid? That was never a realistic candidate. Still not realistic.

Yunit

11/23/17 1:40pm

I was there

pygmalion

11/22/17 10:55pm

Wow that’s crazy. Had no idea there were that

Yunit

kahuna

11/21/17 11:42pm

Sounds like a load of crock to me. Blaming the HC for poor grades? That's rich.

Bluedarts

11/21/17 3:30pm

Straight from a player's mouth. Coach even said he would be fired if players

coolblue

11/21/17 3:43pm

Again, why is it his fault?

Bluedarts

11/21/17 3:49pm

Because coaches can set such expectations for players

Adrielle

11/21/17 3:53pm

Because BYU is a college not a football team.

canofpicante

11/21/17 7:35pm

have you ever led/managed something? family, team, business?

ag4cougs

11/21/17 8:09pm

From a player. Hahahahah oh that’s reliable

Paul Hewson

11/21/17 7:37pm

The Head Coach at all schools are responsible for the grades of their team

jsjohnson1278

11/21/17 5:04pm

You are correct. And, incidentally, Kalani was a terrible student at BYU. Not that that's unusual for student athletes.

Brisco

11/21/17 6:24pm

I was told much the same by an impeccable source.

YSMACK

11/21/17 3:45pm

Ken N's style of offense would not have been well received in Cougarland. Myself included.

lightmann

11/21/17 7:01pm

I'll take triple option over 3-9 and

TIDBIT?! Bronco being fired is a tidbit?!

canofpicante

11/21/17 7:28pm

The “cb hurt poor little Broncos feelings” is played. He’s a grown man who chose

Paul Hewson

11/21/17 7:33pm

Another tidbit— Holmoe was on the grassy knoll and setting explosives at the WTC

PJMort

11/21/17 7:45pm

Sorry but I don't believe you. Something so huge as Bronco's contract?

DazeofBlue

11/21/17 7:49pm

Ken N said thanks but no thanks when an O and OC were "suggested" by TH

bja13

11/21/17 7:53pm

If true the KS needs to go. Plain and simple.

SouthernCoug

Time to clean house. Holmoe and Sitake need to go
