BlueFever Walk-on

I have to admit,

my first reaction to hearing about Bronco leaving stung a little bit. That reaction surprised me, because 8-5 or 9-4 year after year was getting boring. It was starting to feel like Groundhog Day.

Good for bronco. Dude deserves some credit.

Oh my, you mean he was a great coach

Remember when El Jefe had to say a "Fire Bronco" campaign was not appropriate?

Very solid points. Despite the consistent 8 - 9 wins, I miss Bronco.

BlueForLife

10/10/17 11:23pm

I'd love 8 wins this year!

byukarl

10/10/17 11:24pm

And Bronco would likely have delivered another 8 or 9 win season.

BlueForLife

10/10/17 11:31pm

And he would have told us how stupid we are for not loving it

UberDeek

Well...he's got a point

My guess is Bronco would've been 3-3 at this point,

That sounds like paradise compared to the reality we're facing

jbcoug

But not paradise had Mendenhall never left...

That is exactly what I would have predicted. Don't know what you have until it's

I have to admit,

BlueFever

10/11/17 8:33am

Yes it was, but I didn't know who we could bring in to get better results.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:40am

And it looks like we still don't know.

BlueFever

10/11/17 8:51am

Still possible. Even with a loss to MSU

Hard to argue the results.

I think during his tenure he reached his ceiling with the talent he had.

GA_Coug

Not many teams could roll through easily

byukarl

10/11/17 12:00am

That’s pretty much the talent Sitake will be able to get I’d say that’s BYU‘s

franklyvulgar

10/11/17 12:03am

It's not about getting a huge jump in talent at the top.

Lip Gallagher

10/11/17 2:24am

But its not only about getting the talent but developing it

gmj81

10/11/17 5:31am

Well, maybe Sitake's ceiling is even lower.

BlueForLife

10/11/17 8:05am

Maybe it's not Bronco's ceiling, but BYU's.

You may be onto something

That's a great list of 3 very underrated coaches ...

Chareth Cutestory

Demonstrates that BYU's natural place, without a great coach, is sub .500

1 losing season in 13 years feels that way to you?

Definitely not sub 500. Our recruiting rankings about 50-60 most yeard. That

With restrictions such as the honor code, BYU will rarely ever if not never be a

Really? Possibly never be ranked again? Do you not realize we have faxed similar

It's harder w/ a P5 program in the backyard and it's associated P5s recruiting

Hyperbole. BYU had top 25 teams when they had NFL players at the skill

Sometimes you learn from your mistakes. Also, easy for people to love you when

BlueForLife

And UVA likely to be 7-1 and bowl eligible in three more weeks.

gmj81

10/11/17 8:17am

7-1 is HIGHLY unlikely. I expect UVA to go 6-6 on the season

Dissenter

10/11/17 8:38am

Look at their schedule. Very possible

BYU '80

10/11/17 9:11am

They are 4-1 now and the next 3 games are @UNC, BC, @Pitt. Not a tough road

Don’t underestimate the impact of being hired by your ecclesiastical leaders.

Local media here was soured by his religious references and he never recovered from that. He doesn't have that

Rhino84

10/11/17 8:32am

That's because the local media is made up of idiots.

Freddie Cougar

My criticism of Bronco is that he almost never

That's pretty much every coach.

Results are what matters. Like it or not, Bronco did it the right way. No knock

Bronco is a phenomenal coach at a couple things

Glad to see props going to Bronco but it is still way too early to be handingout
