Both Bronco and LE have benefited from weak schedules

The difference is Lavell managed to get some really special seasons out of them while Bronco has yet to do anything meaningful given all the opportunities. Boise/Utah/TCU all did it when it was an even playing field. Bronco couldn't and the best he can get for BYU is a few Vegas Bowls.

It only matters if calling him by his correct class matters

BlueFrog

Technically your classification doesn't exist.

BarraCouga

Sure. But big difference between his experiences vs Hoge

BYU has had more than moral victories during Bronco's career and this season

This is probably true..and the most important point to make to Bronco apologists

MarylandFan

Here is a link to FATS versus your fiction of his "Very good wins"

11/20/15 12:39am

I prefer to revel in the moral losses against Neb, BSU, ECU and SJSU.

ByuMba90

11/19/15 8:30am

ECU? Weren't we were on track to win by 28 till we had to put in 3rd string QB?

viper

11/19/15 8:40am

Good job!! There you go, channeling those who revel in the moral losses....

Tough gig for the next coach, good luck

11/19/15 8:47am

BYU has plenty of wins over P5 teams during Bronco's tenure

Littlerich

11/19/15 8:49am

Poor at math? Count the change, again

11/19/15 8:54am

You are the one discounting wins vs Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, UCLA, Nebraska,

Littlerich

11/19/15 10:24am

I give up with you...What has Edwards got to do with Bronco and his STAFF

11/19/15 10:38am

Most teams have the bulk of their wins vs .500 or less teams. I bring up LaVell

Littlerich

11/19/15 10:40am

You would bring up Lavell? That's dumb

RaggaeCoug

11/19/15 8:49am

I'd be curious to see his record vs p5 teams and how many wins have come against sub .500 teams overall.

slowhiteguy

11/19/15 9:11am

19-22 vs. BCS/P5/ND teams.

Blue Cat

What are the numbers (W-L) all FBS teams below .500?

Here's your final check. Wish you luck in your future endeavors.

Mathew

11/19/15 7:18am

So you as the AD , What is your expectation

buckweave

Beat Utah. Beat USU. Beat BSU.

buckweave

11/19/15 2:46pm

I'd like to have you stay on as our defensive coordinator.

Captain Stubing

11/19/15 7:25am

He wouldn't be the same after being let go as HC

11/19/15 7:39am

Isn't that what people want? A change?

Fetchin Fetcher

11/19/15 7:46am

Defensive coordinator? 10 years of experience or 1 year experience 10 times

11/19/15 9:00am

Speaking of awkward exit interviews

But you know that isn't how it works right? No program sits around and waits

OC Coug

I do know that's how it works...

In the same vein...

You've plateaued. You've hit a glass ceiling. 10 years of the same mediocrity.

BlueBlood94

11/19/15 8:23am

I am not advocating one way or the other but 10-3 is not mediocre imho

acougfan

11/19/15 8:29am

Agreed. But it should be the norm, not the "achievement" or "special" seasons.

BlueBlood94

11/19/15 8:31am

6 10 win seasons in 11 years is >50%. The team must win the remaining 3 games

Littlerich

11/19/15 8:37am

Nebraska ousting Frank Solich comes to mind.

squidmark

11/19/15 8:30am

Personally I compare Bronco to Ron McBride. Bronco is a solid coach and as long

CougarBacker

11/19/15 9:14am

He isn't McBride, better than that, but he is definitely Steve Cleveland

OC Coug

11/19/15 9:19am

Okay, I'll stick with my opinion but thanks for chiming in anyway

CougarBacker

11/19/15 9:20am

End of 2016, his contract expires. No need to have the "fire" conversation. But

Real Men Wear Blue

11/19/15 9:14am

I wouldn't fire Bronco. I would gauge his interest in moving on and prod him in

Bgash

11/19/15 9:52am

If I were AD I'd tell him his seat is still warm and that we'll wait til after 2016 before negotiating his contract.

byuTX

11/19/15 10:05am

At which point I think he walks and may be best for all involved

OC Coug

11/19/15 10:12am

I thing you're probably right. If only BM could find a way to turn the ginormous chip on his shoulder

byuTX

11/19/15 10:14am

if bronco goes 10-3 this season it will be his best coaching job yet

nashty

11/19/15 10:53am

Look what happened to Nebraska. 9-4 last year, fire your HC, then go 5-6

UDunMessedUpA-A-Ron

11/19/15 11:10am

Yeah, so that means no good coaches can ever be replaced by better ones, right?

Kerbouchard

11/19/15 7:31pm

Wait and give him a decade and see what happens..

11/20/15 12:43am

10-3 would be a great season

BLEEDBYUFOOTBALL

11/19/15 12:57pm

Depends. Is the Cougarboard of August 2015 deciding, or November 2015?

panguitch

11/19/15 1:18pm

We are playing the Utes next year and we really need a win against them!!

icecougar

11/19/15 5:17pm

Y4LYFE
