he single-handedly made BYU football uncool (attitude, personality, words and comments, losses....); expressed that independence wasn't sustainable–a phrase that gave the perception to fans, players, recruits and media that BYU football was in trouble; thinned out player depth, contributed to the streak, hurt the QB position (see Heaps....); recruiting issues....
Oh, and I liked him and think he did good things and had several awesome seasons and wins.
