Brady lacked tact, but he was mostly right

Just found & listened to the exchange

Borg

Poppinga said some insane things. It was hard to really know what DS was

DS had a very large role in Bronco leaving. This I absolutely know.

TheLoneCougar

I also absolutely know Tom wasn’t willing to give a guy who wasn’t interested

Because in football coaching, nobody is going to stay "long term". And Bronco

I agree BYU should be a stepping stone school, however, here are a couple of

Can't really disagree with you on anything here. Certainly Kalani is more

TheLoneCougar

It was more than a few players-- and yes Brady was right in that many alumni

curious to know when BM said he wasn't long term - he also said BYU was the

Because BYU is only a big deal to BYU fans

DS had a very minimal at best role in Bronco leaving...

Coug

4/13/18 8:24am

I didn't say anything about what DS "said or wrote".

TheLoneCougar

4/13/18 8:32am

You did say he had a role...

Coug

4/13/18 8:35am

Insane may be what you think. First hand knowledge here.

TheLoneCougar

4/13/18 9:21am

He had almost zero role...

Coug

4/13/18 9:27am

DS literally had as much impqct as I did on BM leaving.. within 1 standard

IF BYU allowed DS to have influence in selecting toilet paper then BYU is STUPID

PJMort

4/13/18 8:26am

You are making assumptions that I never stated. Influence can be measured in

TheLoneCougar

4/13/18 8:33am

No, I’m really not. I understand and I find it unlikely.

PJMort

4/13/18 9:08am

Sorry to disappoint whatever your theory is or isn't.

TheLoneCougar

4/13/18 9:22am

So- what you are saying DS's role was NOT the letter.

PJMort

4/13/18 11:18am

He's saying it wasn't just DS... it was multiple players

Interesting info. Thanks for sharing. I thought they handled it well publicly.

PJMort

4/13/18 3:29pm

Oh no Bronco is so mentally strong and stoic...

Coug

4/13/18 8:34am

Once again, it had nothing to do with a dumb letter.

TheLoneCougar

4/13/18 9:24am

You're absolutely right...

Coug

4/13/18 9:28am

Correct. BYU is Stupid.

CrimsonCardinal

I don’t know him personally, but Poppinga came off

Jdoc

4/13/18 9:46am

I think most of us on cougar board agree

BYU DUDE 1984

4/13/18 10:36am

That's what I found most frustrating with the interview

permiso

4/13/18 6:30am

That “interview” was brutal. Criddle totally lost control, and Poppinga sounded like a whiny

Texas Hammer

4/13/18 7:01am

I agree 100%. There is no doubt that DS’s letter influenced

VegasCoug83

4/13/18 7:08am

The idea and sentiment had been around long before the letter. Plus it was just a letter.

Turnpike Lane

4/13/18 7:51am

I find it hard to believe that a letter from DS would be very influential

Dr T-bone

4/13/18 9:30am

There is a lot of doubt actually

GOR

4/13/18 11:01am

Lacked tact? That’s putting it very kindly.

Jdoc

4/13/18 9:52am

That’s true. I was too kind in my description. He was a tool.

Modiolus

Who is DS?

4/13/18 10:13am

I'd also like to know. My brain just isn't figuring it out.

Derik Stevenson. Known for the letter in this link:

CougarAndMerlin

4/13/18 10:55am

Thanks. Wow what a letter

cowhide

4/13/18 11:15am

DS wrote what many had been saying for a long time. Putting it in writing

Real Men Wear Blue

So, not "mostly right"

Lip Gallagher

Bronco has 2018 and 2019 at UVA to get decent or he will be gone.

Cougtruth

4/14/18 7:46am

You serious? BM just took UVA to their first bowl game in like 7 or 8 years.

NorCal_Coug

4/14/18 8:10am

I agree. I’m still not impressed w/ his ability to beat good P5 teams

GOR

4/14/18 8:40am

They lost 6 of their last 7 to get to 6-6 and then lost the bowl game.

Cougtruth
