for advice on handling the unique challenges BYU has presents. If I were him, that would’ve been one of the first things I would have done after accepting the job.

I'm glad Kalani is taking some Bronco-ism into account with the football program

I was really happy to see this as well

I used to think Bronco was so corny and weird sometimes but the more I think

kolob32

12/6/18 10:25am

Agreed. BYU is corny and weird.

a priori

12/6/18 10:29am

There are different flavors of corny

byujdmba

12/6/18 11:18am

Bronco wasn't as corny when he was just the DC. He turned super corny when

Hmm, I wonder why that happened...

TheLoneCougar

12/6/18 1:28pm

If you have the time, read his book.

TheLoneCougar

12/6/18 10:30am

He was definitely corny and weird. He brought a lot of stress on himself caused

How I wish Kalani would have come as DC while Bronco was here

jvr7

12/6/18 10:26am

Well said.

TheLoneCougar

12/6/18 10:31am

I've always wondered if Kalani ever reached out to Bronco and if Bronco would

Boomcannon

12/6/18 3:59pm

Yeah but Bronco wanted his Mini-Me aka Nick Howell to be DC

Yunit

12/6/18 7:36pm

No different than giving it to tuiaki.. though tuiaki has done better

cougfanz

12/6/18 8:43pm

I think that is a fair critique of Bronco

jvr7

12/6/18 9:53pm

If Kalani had been DC under Bronco, he'd probably be at UVA now.

Personally I think Broncos methodology was perfect for byu

cougfanz

12/6/18 10:33am

Bronco had some major flaws too

donnerstag

12/6/18 11:33am

Ya, those "mediocre" 8 win seasons really sucked....

byu_coug

12/6/18 12:50pm

Well said

RUNBYU1

12/6/18 12:57pm

Why are you pointing out things that Bronco sucked at too?

donnerstag

12/6/18 1:06pm

Just the irony...

byu_coug

12/6/18 9:45pm

I love the Bronco can do no wrong people and how they just compare everything

krhr896041

12/6/18 10:58pm

I certainly haven’t ever said Bronco was perfect.

byu_coug

12/7/18 10:18am

The big problem many of the Bronco-ites have is they take his first four years

krhr896041

12/8/18 3:26pm

Top 30 sounds right to me. Just because someone likes Bronco doesn't mean they

TheLoneCougar

12/7/18 11:15am

Uh, you might want to backpedal a bit there with those accolades

Iki_Balam

12/6/18 3:19pm

Of course he did as do all coaches. I think his "flaws" were more related to how

TheLoneCougar

12/6/18 1:28pm

Actually he is trending in the right direction

puntersarepeople

12/6/18 2:51pm

Also had nob5alent..and now has more talent..especially at all important QB.

CarolinaCoug

12/7/18 12:23am

By record, then technically yes.

It surprises me that we’ve never heard Kalani talk about consulting Bronco

Delicate Genius

12/6/18 11:16am

I suspect he did, just doesn't talk about it

Agaricus

12/6/18 11:41am

Maybe because Kalani preferred to consult with LaVell

Y05

12/7/18 4:54am

Harmon has become a Youtard counting loss as if they were wins

Coogar2

12/6/18 11:20am

ok..that's over the top, he's a homer not unreasonable, as it appears you are.

Found this line depressing:

QBarrister

12/6/18 2:43pm

It may have nothing to do with KS and everything to do with BYU, HC office & BOT

TheLoneCougar

12/6/18 2:51pm

Right.

QBarrister

12/6/18 3:50pm

Not necessarily. I think he’s just saying that the Francis Bernard’s won’t get

puntersarepeople

12/6/18 2:53pm

He is doing some things that Bronco did but he’s making BYU his program

puntersarepeople

12/6/18 3:01pm

Bronco wouldn’t play the best players?

cougfanz

12/6/18 4:43pm

I think he was more reserved with young players

puntersarepeople

12/6/18 4:57pm

True

cougfanz

12/6/18 9:18pm

Nope. Ziggy Ansah was an example of this.

BlueBeliever

12/6/18 7:07pm

I was actually thinking of this

puntersarepeople

12/6/18 7:12pm

He is probably the most underutilized player in the history

BlueBeliever

12/6/18 7:28pm

He had a unique situation but that’s probably true

puntersarepeople

12/6/18 7:31pm

Incredible that some people really believe this. Bronco hate has to be strong to

Bill

12/7/18 5:49am

The core issue was that Bronco never tried to integrate Ziggy into the game

donnerstag

12/7/18 8:28am

I didn't realize Manualeuna was injured for the Washington State game.

Y05

12/7/18 10:41am

Oh brother...you could take pretty much any average youth football coach and have had success with Ziggy. You forget

BlueBeliever

12/7/18 10:47am

If that attribute was limited to only Bronco as a HC then I think you have an

TheLoneCougar

12/7/18 11:19am

Yeah. I didn’t say that attribute was limited to Bronco either.

BlueBeliever

12/7/18 11:45am

But you certainly didn't take the approach I did. It's all in how you spin it.

TheLoneCougar

12/7/18 12:37pm

"Bromco did a great job..."Dude any avg. coach would have developed Ziggy..so I don't think he deserves

CarolinaCoug

12/7/18 5:11pm

I for one, will be so happy to be proven wrong about Kalani

Iki_Balam

12/6/18 3:22pm

For some reason this article reminded me of this gem of a post from RunninQB.
