And I was one that was very critical of Bronco and was happy to see him leave ftr. I feel kind of foolish now for taking those 8-5 and 9-4 seasons for granted. Those would feel pretty darn special right about now compared to the train wreck that was last season.

HELLO! Everyone clamoring for Bronco and now “golden years” are quick to forget the majority of his tenure. A very good

Come on. He had 4 double digit win seasons in a row.

I didn’t say he wasn’t really good but he’s not golden.

i constantly debated with bronco whether BYU had reached it's peak with him

nashty

Maybe- but I’m glad BYU is trying to be great

I agree 100 %

People often said he was "good" and couldn't be "great." I disagreed.

You debated that with Bronco? Gutsy.

Takes more guts than the typical ute has

So what was Bronco's rebuttal to you?

eddog

2/22/18 3:26pm

So if it’s all down hill from here why be a fan? Why torture yourself?

Isn't it WAY too early to say that?

Well, the schedules over the next 10 years are going to be much more difficult

I agree with you but am glad we got the change.

2/22/18 9:34pm

I agree there were some fans who treated Bronco like he was a general authority.

I guess the past few years we got carried away worshiping idols

Nice. Very nice. I appreciate the continuous theme we’ve got going

amen bro. I can't believe how quickly some forget.

Bostonblue

2/22/18 11:34am

Exactly right

2/22/18 11:39am

We were QB injuries away from 0 or 1 losses in 2012, 2014, and 2015

Coaching coaching coaching.

Coop

I’m confident that a great coach would have gotten 1-2 of those seasons you mentioned

SouthernBlueBlood

2/22/18 12:19pm

Because a great coach has more control over luck, injuries, bad bounces of the

Many, many teams could say that.

Great coaches don't make excuses. They make their own luck.

Bostonblue

That’s a silly cliche and beside the point anyway

Every defeated team has reasons for losses. In the end, it doesn’t matter.

We say that every year

We clearly don’t

Not really but anything is possible. If only claims were so simple

LaVell=golden age; Bronco=silver age; Sitake=?; Crowton=zinc?

Crowton>>>>Kalani so far.

Mr. Scoobs

Yep Crowton >>>> Kalani so far

Majority of his tenure--winning games at a rate as good as BYU history?

Mr. Scoobs

2/22/18 2:37pm

It’s one bad year- everything else anyone might project is simply speculation at this point.

SouthernBlueBlood

2/22/18 2:40pm

4 wins. Worst recruiting class. Culture issues. Losing to UMASS at home. Worst O

People cling so hard to 2006-2009, 2011 for Bronco. I hope BM appreciates that

BTW, weren't 12 other tribes were out there, too?

The other 11 were just enjoying the road trip.

CougarThug

Depends which ones you count

qom

2/23/18 6:04pm

But going 4-9 with a similar schedule is going backwards. We were much closer

Son, you don’t know what a great coach is then.
