Most on here genuinely want Bronco to do well because there are so many byu guys on staff....him doing well is good for byu IMO.

Just because many of us don't think he will succeed doesn't mean we hate bronco.

Matt Brown Criddle interview on Bronco's recruiting woes.

ChinoCoug

Hiring mainly byu guys with no connection to the east coast was a terrible idea

Introverts generally have difficulty networking

CaliWG

But completely predictable...he was never going to hire guys he didn't know well

Yes...they get recommendations, have heard about this guy or that, or they know

Recruiting is about building relationships.

Pretty clear to me that you have no first-hand info or experience in the matter

You clearly stated that this was just your opinion, which is cool, but

Shocking. Absolutely shocking. Never would have guessed bronco would struggle

They also do not take partial qualifiers at UVA

It's dumb considering the length of tenure

Within two years, Bronco will be a DC at a MWC school.

eddog

7/19/17 7:38am

I think he's too prideful for that.

thebruce

7/19/17 7:44am

Honestly I could see him either coaching as a DC of like Oregon State or a P5 or

monkeycowboy

He could be a DC at a big P5 school

2FarGone

Doubt it, he could invest his career earnings and make well over MWC assistant

or maybe he surfaces as the HC at a Service Academy (maybe AFA)...

Does mocking BM = not hating but want him to succeed?

I don't see a lot of mocking. Most people enjoy a good light hearted

It's easier to win at BYU more so than UVA.

Diablo and Doc

7/19/17 8:06am

I'm sure this is true considering teams in the ACC are better then the MWC

Pretorian

7/19/17 11:07am

"Weakest of the P5s" That would be a tough argument to make I think.

I just looked at vegas, I suppose you could be right... my own power rankings

Pretorian

Very true, single seasons do not a conference make.

Here's to hoping you're right!

Nah. I think UVA has just always been a hard place to win

Lot of truth to that. He really never had the vision to be an effective HC

Not sure what I'm missing. Looks like a decent recruiting class is coming.

Beetdiggercoug

Wouldn't that advantage be offset by having to fight UVA for LDS recruits?

I doubt it. BYU is its own experience no other D1 sports program can duplicate
