Since Bronco isn't going to look the other way while his players take steroids

BYUtiful

1/8/13 10:12am

Its tough to take steroids with random NCAA drug tests

Cougarlove

1/8/13 2:42pm

Actually, it's not tough at all; and tests are anything but "random"

I wondered about this during the championship game where one team was bigger,

You know he won't.

What do you think Bronco has been doing since the bowl game?

1/8/13 7:27am

He's been in Hawaii.

checoug

1/8/13 7:28am

And Saban doesn't take vacations?

1/8/13 7:30am

My folks have a home by Nick Saban's lake house, we see him there all the

In other words, nobody has a clue.

1/8/13 7:30am

He has probably been getting home be three to get a break from having to stay

gwill

1/8/13 7:40am

Agree with everything you said

checoug

1/8/13 7:28am

Even if he puts in Sabin like effort....

WJCougar

1/8/13 7:29am

But it could have gotten us to a BCS bowl by now.

mr_thekid

1/8/13 2:31pm

You know, its not the time and effort. You know that right?

bald man

1/8/13 7:31am

Seriously?

checoug

1/8/13 7:34am

Can you sit there and with a straight face tell me that a professional

1/8/13 7:47am

He has publicly said it

checoug

1/8/13 7:58am

Everytime the anti bronco cite some quote its always out of context and

bald man

1/8/13 8:02am

This. Bronco quotes get stretched to the point of incomprehension.

TexasCoug

1/8/13 8:30am

Then answer this. Why would Bronco make such a statement at all?

CougFanInWA

1/8/13 11:43am

Why did Lou Holtz always poor mouth his own team?

TexasCoug

1/8/13 11:52am

I think you mean "can't understand reality."

Re-read what I said

checoug

1/8/13 8:36am

He trusted Doman, it turns out he shouldn't. Thus Doman is gone.

bald man

1/8/13 8:51am

and add to your comment ...

ManicBlue

1/8/13 9:08am

So Bronco just threw that out there

checoug

1/8/13 9:14am

He has his reasons ... you just don't understand them

Mostly it means having Alabama's players.

TexasCoug

I would mostly agree

checoug

Bronco could do better... He chooses not to.

kotacoug

1/8/13 7:31am

More time doesn't necessarily = better

1/8/13 7:33am

I think it's safe to say that the program is NO WHERE close to the point

kotacoug

Baloney!

1/8/13 7:46am

you are delusional....you can not replace reps with efficiency no matter

kotacoug

1/8/13 7:51am

And how many reps does BYU put in compared to other teams?

1/8/13 7:55am

That is so wrong. If you don't have the coaching chops to begin with, more time

Bronco has said one of his criteria to recruiting is level of success

bald man

Maybe offense, but defense?? Defense has risen since Bronco took over DC duties

FierceArc

Who cares. Volume of time is not the determining factor on success.

and he cares about it a whole lot more than we do.

They start off with the delusion that all of BYU's players are another Ziggy

BluePete

Do you think BYU gets everything they possibly can out of players

kotacoug

1/8/13 7:48am

thus we are seeing coaching changes, and conditioning changes.

bald man

1/8/13 7:50am

Currently, not on offense. BYU has historically used a combination of

bald man

1/8/13 7:49am

Well now you're bringing in the competency of our coaches which I agree with you

kotacoug

Practice doesn't make perfect. It just makes it permanent.

That makes perfect sense why he had fewer pactices if he already

Indeed, thus Bronco getting a new OC. The offense has stunk. He knows it.

There was actually some criticism before the game about that.
