Not a thread to bag on Bronco, but observation from UVA board

I have to admit, watching UVA last night gave me some PTSD

yea.. would love Bronco back as D-Coordinator. He has guaranteed $ through 2024

Someone else posted a bunch of screenshots from posts on that board last night

Crazy the similarities.

Saw that. I was shocked at how it felt like six/seven years ago.

He’ll demote Howell and take over the week of the BYU game

That worries me a bit. A Bronco defense playing at a high level can make almost

I think Bronco's ceiling was higher than many give him credit though. Think back

One hypothetical season doesn’t change his ceiling

That illustrates one of Bronco's big weaknesses at BYU

We're definitely much deeper in the trenches. Not sure about skill positions

Food Snob

DB deeper now for sure. RB the same. QB deeper.

WR? Probably not. Those mid-2010's receiving corps were stacked

Food Snob

9/25/21 10:28am

I'd say maybe even this year. In previous years Bronco had advantage.

HONOMO

9/25/21 11:12am

Is that really the case? It might be, but is there evidence of that?

LB was one position Bronco stacked up

Does he talk about UVA's disadvantages in every interview? That should help.

HONOMO

It's not just loyalty, it's that none of Bronco's assistants seem to be in

Agree that is my biggest disappointment, I really wanted to see

UVA can’t run; we’ll play the same D we did against ASU, with more success

That was eerie

The trend is comparable how he turned BYU around from 2005-2009 raising fans expectations and never taking his teams to

Independence probably didn't help after the first years. But still. I think

Dude makes $400,000 a year for them too. Howell needs to be let go

Cosmo4life

He does seem to be the common denominator in many of Bronco's struggles.

Emmett Fitz-Hume

Bronco will probably be running the D by the time we play them

Problem is UVA can’t run the ball, and can’t stop the run. This goes back to

OL play was always trash under bronco/Anae. One of my biggest frustrations.

Bronco Mendenhall is an average HC

You hit the nail on the Bronco is good at instilling structure to right the ship

Forzaitalia

I always said Bronco is a below average HC and NFL level DC.

Backcountry

The problem was a complete lack of desire by their unmotivated, lazy players. No

Agree, buck stops with the HC.

Bronco will turn this around I have no doubt...
