Wasn't this a post about how the team is moving on from Bronco?

Great post. Nominated. Everyone should read.

With all these improvements, this team should go 15-0.

Nah who needs more than 1 year plus I consider last years loss to Utah a win

But CB told me that good coaches yell a lot and "light up" players when they

8/9/17 7:51pm

He said they yell, they just don't berate. They use it as a teaching moment...

icecougar

What are they yelling? "Hey, you have beautiful eyes?"

DirtyWater

There is still yelling and accountability or did I misread

I'm glad we have sitake but bronco never had a losing season

Easy to do when you play 6 teams a year with losing records.

CarolinaCoug

8/9/17 10:00pm

Don't most teams play 6 teams with losing records?

scootsy

No

CarolinaCoug

On average, don't half the teams on a team's schedule have losing records?

DirtyWater

Not all teams with losing records are created equal..

icecougar

And they have losing records for a reason

That's exactly what he did at BYU. But each season he expected more from

If you delete the middle three paragraphs, then this is much more believable.

what about takitaki saying kalani cares more about the players than bronco?

District

8/10/17 12:07pm

Takitaki did not say that...

Random Walk

8/10/17 1:17pm

"Takes care of us more"

District

8/10/17 1:24pm

"Takes care of us more" is not "Kalani cares more about the players"

Whatever dude. Between the OP,takitaki, and other observations it's clear

Now you're onto something that I can agree with...

Why wouldn't Burt tell Bronco he had eye problems? Seems kinda career limiting on his part.

RSLCoug

8/9/17 8:04pm

he couldn't get a word in edge-wise from all the yelling and berating...

I was told by a former player that Bronco had an open door policy for his

Bullrider

8/10/17 4:00pm

But did Burt feel Bronco was approachable?

Sure he did, he knew the policy.

I wonder if that's why certain players, like Hine, didn't seem to develop well

Run-DMT

8/9/17 8:05pm

Hopefully it means fewer missed tackles. That is one thing that bugged me about

cougaman

8/9/17 8:05pm

Bronco coached the best defenses in BYU history.

Random Walk

8/9/17 8:07pm

They had talented QB's, they just couldn't develop them as passers
