Recruiting is about building relationships.

And how are a bunch of kids from the inner cities of the East Coast or from the Deep South going to relate to a bunch of Mormon transplant coaches from Utah? Very bad idea. Maybe take a couple but not the entire staff. I think Bronco thought he would be able to recruit Mormon kids from the West to Virginia.

Hiring mainly byu guys with no connection to the east coast was a terrible idea

Introverts generally have difficulty networking

But completely predictable...he was never going to hire guys he didn't know well

I'd argue that the defensive side of the game is his, it never passed him by...

Pretty clear to me that you have no first-hand info or experience in the matter

You clearly stated that this was just your opinion, which is cool, but

Shocking. Absolutely shocking. Never would have guessed bronco would struggle

Hope you're right.

They also do not take partial qualifiers at UVA

7/19/17 8:40am

It's dumb considering the length of tenure

Within two years, Bronco will be a DC at a MWC school.

eddog

7/19/17 7:38am

I think he's too prideful for that.

thebruce

7/19/17 7:44am

Honestly I could see him either coaching as a DC of like Oregon State or a P5 or

7/19/17 7:46am

He could be a DC at a big P5 school

2FarGone

7/19/17 9:02am

Doubt it, he could invest his career earnings and make well over MWC assistant

califcougar

or maybe he surfaces as the HC at a Service Academy (maybe AFA)...

So stupid... you can't make this judgement on 1.5 recruiting classes, this also

Pretorian

It has nothing to do with hate for most.

Does mocking BM = not hating but want him to succeed?

CLCougar

7/19/17 10:52am

I don't see a lot of mocking. Most people enjoy a good light hearted

It's easier to win at BYU more so than UVA.

7/19/17 8:06am

I'm sure this is true considering teams in the ACC are better then the MWC

Pretorian

7/19/17 11:07am

"Weakest of the P5s" That would be a tough argument to make I think.

MarylandFan

7/19/17 12:45pm

I just looked at vegas, I suppose you could be right... my own power rankings

Pretorian

7/19/17 3:59pm

Very true, single seasons do not a conference make.

MarylandFan

7/20/17 2:02pm

Here's to hoping you're right!

ChinoCoug

7/19/17 8:08am

Nah. I think UVA has just always been a hard place to win

7/19/17 12:29pm

The thing is, like when he arrived at BYU, his best players were inherited. Mike

7/19/17 3:16pm

I think he even had a top 25 class iirc and maybe back to back top 40 classes...

Max Hall happened to graduate that year, too. Max was a Bronco recruit.

If he were truly an average recruiter & manager he'd be just fine.

icecougar

Lot of truth to that. He really never had the vision to be an effective HC

mantis mutu

Not sure what I'm missing. Looks like a decent recruiting class is coming.

His AD said in his intro presser that he could recruit. I was puzzled.

Just curious - what is your interest in wanting Bronco to succeed?

My take, success for former BYU/LDS guys helps BYU by

7/19/17 5:42pm

Prove me wrong Bronco improve The cavaliers every year. Go Bronco!

7/19/17 7:07pm

Wouldn't that advantage be offset by having to fight UVA for LDS recruits?

Bgash

7/19/17 9:02pm

I doubt it. BYU is its own experience no other D1 sports program can duplicate

7/19/17 9:36pm

Makes sense

LDS coach in a position to exact significant positive impact.
