Who's giving him a pass?

I've been pretty tough on him today. But the fact is, installing an entirely new offense with players who haven't played in it before, that requires an entirely different type of play-calling progression with only one year of experience is difficult to do. There's no way Anae is going to be as proficient at it as guys who have many years experience with it.

People on CB seem to think these things just happen overnight.

Bronco's biggest shortcoming

jonnnylingo

1/2/14 10:27am

I don't think he's a "great" recruiter

donnerstag

1/2/14 10:31am

I do

jonnnylingo

1/2/14 10:34am

He doesn't cater to big time recruits

donnerstag

1/2/14 10:45am

The Shwenke recruiting case pretty much blows your conclusion up

g$

1/2/14 10:48am

You are reading waaaaay too much into his "kids recruit BYU" statement

1/2/14 10:58am

Exactly, people hold on to things he said 5+ years ago. It's ridiculous. If

Bronco's recruiting mistakes 4-7 years ago show up today. It's how it works.

Accipiter

1/2/14 11:35am

No one is arguing that, but his recruiting philosophies of 4-7 years ago are

bluescholar

1/2/14 11:38am

While he no longer cuts his nose off to spite recruits

g$

1/2/14 12:05pm

Let it go. Schwenke was wildly overrated anyway.

1/2/14 12:15pm

Nope, haven't given Kona a second thought in four years

1/2/14 2:07pm

He was a 4-star recruit who has barely seen the field. At the very least that

How many DL has BYU put into the NFL the last 10 years?

g$

1/2/14 3:21pm

BYU definitely has to get better at putting DL in the NFL. I honestly think

bluescholar

1/2/14 3:31pm

we will have to agree to disagree on Kona

g$

1/2/14 3:53pm

Jamora hurts every time I think about it, too. That kid is good.

jkccoug

1/2/14 4:12pm

He plays a lot for ND.

jkccoug

1/2/14 3:41pm

Again, only because of injuries in front of him and this is the first year he's

bluescholar

1/2/14 3:46pm

Ziggy fits that description

donnerstag

1/2/14 3:59pm

Completely different scenario. One was learning the basics of football, one was

bluescholar

1/2/14 4:10pm

One was gaining 50 lbs.

jkccoug

1/2/14 4:11pm

Who? Schwenke put on a ton of weight after his freshman year. He got to ND at

bluescholar

1/2/14 4:21pm

He looked like he knew more than the basics against Boise

donnerstag

1/2/14 4:12pm

Please don't start this non-sense again...that horse has long been dead.

bluescholar

1/2/14 4:17pm

You stated that he wasn't playing because he was learning the basics

donnerstag

1/2/14 4:24pm

Not really. He's still learning a lot of the basics of football.

bluescholar

1/2/14 4:43pm

I'm saying that sometimes good players are left on the bench

donnerstag

1/2/14 5:05pm

I don't think that's the case in either of these scenarios.

bluescholar

1/2/14 5:14pm

Ziggy could have played a role as a junior

donnerstag

1/2/14 5:20pm

He played some situationally as a junior and it was generally a train wreck.

bluescholar

Getting beat out by Louis Nix is no shame.

Who wouldn't want a free recruiting trip to Notre Dame?

donnerstag

1/2/14 4:06pm

The recruiting trip to Notre Dame was supposed to be a fun trip

g$

1/2/14 4:57pm

I never said it was. I even said above that I thought he would get playing time

bluescholar

1/2/14 4:14pm

I'm actually very informed about BYU's recruiting, but please educate me on what

bluescholar

1/2/14 12:30pm

FWIW, Damien Mama will be here the week before signing day.

Bob Vance

I know, and I'd love to see him prove me wrong.

bluescholar

1/2/14 3:51pm

maybe the words to him will be - "we are thinking of changing our fast

Ummh... do you even remember the Shwenke case?

g$

1/2/14 11:17am

That was four years ago.

1/2/14 11:25am

Umm...do you realize that Bronco now allows committed players to take visits

bluescholar

1/2/14 11:25am

I agree. Schwenke situation makes me angry.

jkccoug

1/2/14 3:41pm

The Schwenke case actually doesn't run contrary to anything he said. As you will

bluescholar

1/2/14 11:04am

They way I look at this season and Anae

1/2/14 10:35am

The "first year OC" part I disagree with...mainly because while the scheme is

Recruiting, Creativity, Flexibility/Adjustments and Innovation.

BDAWG

1/2/14 11:34am

His defenses are very creative and flexible

1/2/14 1:53pm

There are two sides to the ball. The offense creativity is what I am

BDAWG

1/2/14 1:59pm

Again, the paper thin secondary greatly limited what could be done

1/2/14 2:05pm

Bronco is the head coach and tell me about these well timed blitzes?

BDAWG

1/2/14 2:07pm

I still say the recruitment of Oline players is an equal issue.

lawboy

1/2/14 1:46pm

Equal and related

jonnnylingo

1/2/14 3:07pm

Punting inside opponent's 40 yard line - no trust in the offense!

farsurfer

1/2/14 2:47pm

I actually agree 100%.

jkccoug

1/2/14 3:07pm

Agree about the assistants. I think bronco has shortcomings, but some of those
