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.

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere

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

SouthernBlueBlood

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?

Pretorian

Isn't it WAY too early to say that?

GOR

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

Kerbouchard

I don't think he was a great coach. But he was much better than what we have now

eddog

2/22/18 11:27am

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

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

eddog

2/22/18 10:25pm

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

Alpi Gusto

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

SouthernBlueBlood

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

Bostonblue

2/22/18 11:34am

Exactly right

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

Coaching coaching coaching.

Bad luck bad luck bad luck

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.

That’s a silly cliche and beside the point anyway

Coop

It’s only silly to those who can’t get over the obstacles

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

D.T. Survivor

We say that every year

jes2332

2/22/18 2:40pm

We clearly don’t

Coop

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

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

panguitch

Crowton>>>>Kalani so far.

Mr. Scoobs

Yep Crowton >>>> Kalani so far

Coogar2

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

Mr. Scoobs

2/22/18 2:50pm

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?

qom

2/22/18 6:12pm

The other 11 were just enjoying the road trip.

CougarThug

2/22/18 7:38pm

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

BlueForLife

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

Okay there Dad. Thanks
