Just at tOSU:

Woody Hayes: 76.1% and 5 NCs
Earle Bruce: 75.5%
John Cooper: 71.5%
Jim Tressell: 81% and 1 NC

Two fired for disciplinary reasons. Two for not winning enough. What are reasonable expectations? At BYU you get fired faster for disciplinary reasons than for losing.

Sure. But big difference between his experiences vs Hoge

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

Littlerich

11/19/15 7:39am

Both Bronco and LE have benefited from weak schedules

SBJ

11/19/15 7:51am

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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