You miss this personality?

Looks like Lavell. I do miss that personality.

TNT is still irked about being called a bad person from the bible

Pharisees were good people. Paul was proud to be a pharisee.

Genghis Spreads

5/19/20 6:24pm

Yeah what did Jesus say about Pharisees?? Pretty sure he called them Hypocrites

LakeshowCougs

Jesus also said your righteousness needs to exceed that of Pharisees to enter in

You have selective memory dude. He didn't whine about getting booed. He

Pft, that guy was incredibly thinned skin.

Says the guy still complaining about it

just setting the record straight. It isnt like I started a thread to bring up

Ozymandias

5/20/20 8:04am

Also, why insult the fans if you didn't care what they thought in the first

Ozymandias

5/19/20 6:18pm

He insulted them because they needed to be taught a lesson, not because he

Genghis Spreads

5/19/20 6:25pm

And he was wrong. He made a bad call and deserved to be booed.

Baron

5/19/20 6:46pm

He didn't insult fans for booing. He realized he shouldn't have punted vs. BC.

Genghis Spreads

5/19/20 6:58pm

(and they still act like know-it-alls)

Benfica1

5/19/20 9:25pm

If he doesn't care what they think, why does he need to teach them a lesson?

Ozymandias

5/19/20 7:36pm

Fans need to know when to shut up.

Genghis Spreads

5/19/20 8:42pm

If he doesn't care what they think, why does he have an opinion on when they

Ozymandias

5/19/20 9:18pm

Telling people they're being obnoxious doesnt mean you care about their opinion.

Genghis Spreads

5/19/20 10:21pm

If he doesn't care what they think, how can he think what they say is obnoxious?

Ozymandias

5/20/20 6:19am

The same reason you, for some reason, care about what Genghis keeps saying...something like pot calling the kettle black

TheLoneCougar

5/20/20 7:42am

So wait does that mean Bronco did care then?

Ozymandias

5/20/20 7:58am

That isn't my argument, I'm sure he cared somewhat as do most coaches and athletes. Bronco isn't alone in this.

TheLoneCougar

5/20/20 8:07am

My only point has been to counter the notion that Bronco "didn't care what

Ozymandias

5/20/20 8:10am

Complaining about the fans is why I am still glad he is gone.

BornNotBuilt

5/19/20 6:30pm

Well, he probably doesn't care.

Genghis Spreads

5/19/20 6:44pm

So you care more to have a coach who brown noses than wins? Got it

5/19/20 9:47pm

Question is, are you happier with "I'm going to have to looks at the film" every. single. week.?

TheLoneCougar

5/20/20 7:43am

Of all the things I miss about bronco, his personality is down the list a ways..

Westsider

5/19/20 6:35pm

Is that better or worse than fans whining about a couple of slights for 15 yrs?

ldssdl

5/19/20 6:46pm

I didn't get paid millions of dollars to be a fan.

Ozymandias

5/19/20 7:41pm

So not getting paid a million dollars means it’s cool for grown men to hold

ldssdl

5/19/20 8:10pm

Who is holding a grudge? Merely pointing out that Bronco isn't as the OP

Ozymandias

5/19/20 8:30pm

Cause a single comment decades ago defines a man forever? Good grief

ldssdl

5/19/20 9:46pm

uh, it is an example dude. His comments about the booing were made right up

Ozymandias

5/20/20 6:21am

I don’t think so. Link?

ldssdl

5/20/20 6:53am

Ha, he has even brought it up while at UVA.

Ozymandias

5/20/20 8:03am

This is whining to you?

TheLoneCougar

5/20/20 8:10am

My point has merely been that he clearly cares what others think. I can tell

Ozymandias

5/20/20 8:11am

RE: Ha, he has even brought it up while at UVA.

ldssdl

5/20/20 8:20am

Lol, you ask for evidence that he continues to bring up the matter and then you

Ozymandias

5/20/20 8:26am

That doesn’t qualify as a whine about fans...at all.

ldssdl

5/20/20 9:44am

Offense? The OP said Bronco didn't care what other people thought about him,

Ozymandias

5/20/20 9:48am

Looking at this thread, it is apparent someone still has strong feelings about this...

TheLoneCougar

5/20/20 7:45am

He didn't get paid millions of dollars to please you.

Genghis Spreads

5/19/20 8:57pm

Like me as an individual or as a collective of fans? He absolutely gets paid to

Ozymandias

5/19/20 9:21pm

He gets paid to win games, not to win the fans' hearts.

Genghis Spreads

5/19/20 10:11pm

Unless you are Nick Saban good, winning fans' hearts is part of the job.

Ozymandias

5/20/20 6:22am

I know, right? He must have said that about...one time.

EtTuKalante

5/20/20 10:18pm

Thanks. TNT needed a good laugh today

TNT

5/19/20 5:59pm

Only cared what the pharisees thought of him.

I miss his winning record, his defenses

Acorn

5/19/20 6:27pm

His defenses were often pretty amazing

TNT

5/19/20 6:36pm

That 2012 defense was, by far, the best in BYU history

BeardedSpock

5/20/20 8:34am

Yep an it was wasted out on one of the most anemic offenses in recent memory.

Don't miss Bronco's personality. I miss his blitzes and general team discipline.

Defenses were good. On-field discipline was meh. Off-the-field appeared great.

5/20/20 9:21am

Yeah. That's why I mentioned "general team Discipline". There were some issues.
