TheLoneCougar Starter

I haven't seen enough from him or the program to state he is trending up. Too many issues from his first year are still issues in his third and that doesn't show signs of progress as a HC (not speaking about players, but HC decisions).

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

TheLoneCougar

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

Bronco had some major flaws too

donnerstag

12/6/18 11:33am

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

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

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

TheLoneCougar

12/7/18 7:20am

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

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.
