One hallmark of Bronco's D was everyone swarming to the ball. Haven't seen that

I remember reading about a linebacker that Bronco thought was slacking

A BYU defense has to swarm/run to the ball on every play...they are not talented enought not to...

Bonoman

...and we are living these “results.” Goodness❗️

Yep. I remember. Pete Carroll had the same feel when he was in New England.

I think what changed was his willingness to go to the next man up if a player...

Carroll said he hated who he was as a coach before his USC days.

But maybe the problem is they are still working too hard.

One of the few competitive advantages we can have at BYU is that we should be more disciplined

darkcoug

10/16/17 2:22pm

No way it was that way at Utah... So where did Sitake pick it up from?

Coug

10/16/17 2:23pm

Urban Meyer and Whittingham were the bad cops. Sitake can be the good cop if the coordinators are the bad cops

darkcoug

10/16/17 2:29pm

exactly right. and if we had a true bad cop the byu higher ups would probably

I don't think that's true, they kept Bronco around for a while

darkcoug

10/16/17 2:33pm

who was his bad cop? i think bronco was excatly what the higher ups

It was Howell

This is a special season!

I believe BYU is having the season it deserves no doubt...

Probably more of a problem that he is 50+ lbs undersized for his position.

byubyu

10/16/17 2:23pm

He is maybe 20-30 lbs undersized at most. 260-265 is probably ideal

FiveTen-BuckEighty

10/16/17 4:20pm

Yes and no. He really is undersized by a few inches as well.

byubyu

10/16/17 8:51pm

aka the cool coaches...you imagine Coach Holladay or Anae being like these guys?

coug almighty

10/16/17 2:27pm

Bushman comments on the coaches show about practice were notable as wel.

Dr MoBYU

10/16/17 3:21pm

I remember reading that as well and thought "uh-oh"

SuperTank

10/16/17 4:21pm

Naw...the only problem is winning

LosAlcoug

10/16/17 4:28pm

so are you saying things would be better if BYU was winning games? Interesting.

dryflyelk

Sometimes the most obvious wisdom is the most profound.

LosAlcoug

10/16/17 11:58pm

LaVell was laid back too - Kalani just needs intense assistant coaches

Nemesis

10/16/17 4:40pm

How was he laid back?

mudpupper

10/16/17 7:21pm

I agree, I went to one practice. It was all fun and games. No disipline or

Someone in the Byu “media” needs to ask the coaches about this.

GeraldGarner

10/16/17 8:27pm

Maybe media members have been to practice & don't notice an issue.

We go to war every game.

Bronco's teams had to swarm to the ball because they were as bad as this team at
