Brian Kehl is one of my all-time favorite BYU players and I trust experience,

both college and NFL. He had a great relationship with Bronco as a player (from what I've understood) so it seems he is just calling a spade a spade:

Bronco is a great DC. He is not a great HC ("bless his heart")

I don't attempt to decipher anything else from his statements. I wouldn't go so far as to say that he suggests Bronco step down/be fired.

My take is... if we don't have a better prospect for HC, we keep Bronco until such becomes available/apparent.

Re: Kehl's interview. Here is exactly what he said on 1320 this morning.

I've come to the conclusion that Bronco is too much of an introvert to be a

Well, it's that and his complete inability to hire good assistants. Lavell

Lavell had his share of dud assistants too

But he wasn't chronically bad at it.

that's how I understood it as well

jreid191

10/23/14 2:15pm

That was my understanding too. Both HC and DC for Bronco

Coogar2

10/24/14 6:02am

Nope. It means he s/b HC but should always be the DC as well.

mulletino

10/23/14 2:06pm

That's just to difficult to do well. Head coach is incredibly demanding.

SandYFan

10/23/14 2:08pm

You may be right. But what you're suggesting is not what Kehl said.

mulletino

10/23/14 2:09pm

I wish he was more active on Twitter. Last tweet was in 2012. I'd ask him.

SandYFan

10/23/14 2:13pm

There's no reason to ask. He doesn't think Bronco should be demoted to DC only.

mulletino

10/23/14 2:15pm

That's from Brian Kehl not Bryan Kehl

Let's try that co-coordinator thing but only at the HC position

It doesn't mean he's not cut out to be a HC. It means he doesn't hire good DCs

You have a special talent for being offensive.

BM should take over DC and get an asst head coach to help w/ admin stuff

ChopperDave

10/23/14 2:22pm

That's an interesting idea.

SandYFan

10/23/14 2:23pm

Wouldn't that be director of football operations?

10/24/14 7:18am

Wait, people think Kehl was saying Bronco should not be head coach?

CosmoK

10/23/14 2:24pm

he obviously doesn't want to be DC. he wants to be the figurehead. he's tried

10/23/14 2:29pm

"Figurehead" may not be the best way to define what he was going for

Wasn't Pete Carroll the USC's DC when he was the HC?

10/23/14 2:53pm

yes

wapiti

10/23/14 5:13pm

So, that worked out pretty well. I'd say Pete Carroll was successful at USC.

10/23/14 6:05pm

He probably didn't mean what he said. Oh well.

No, he said Bronco shouldn't be a traditional HC---should also run the defense

10/23/14 5:28pm

I agree with Kehl and have been saying for yrs. Bronco is a DC with a HC title.
