I don't think BM was shown the door. He ran to the door and didn't look back.

What pushed Bronco Mendenhall away from BYU and toward Virginia?

Circumstances at BYU began to push Mendenhall away. No issue loomed larger than the program’s shift toward independence, which occurred prior to the 2011 season.

Well done. Yikes that’s scary stuff

And yet it's still in a better spot than current state football.

I think BYU should have one main expectation each year: Make the tournament

BYUheaven

I agree that is the goal, but not sure it should be the expectation every year.

Mr. Scoobs

3/18/19 10:26am

I do not think it is realistic every year either. But we are in the second

At least with Rose we EXPECT to be in the NCAA's.

I liked Bronco but the top 25 finish was tapering off too. This season in

Yeah but I do think Bronco would've finished top 25 in 2016 had he stayed

Not anymore

If we didn't expect NCAA, 20 wins and owning state rivals is pretty good.

Schedule lowered the bar for football. BYU didn’t make the NIT which is the

SOS has been easier under Kalani than it was under Bronco or Crowton

Mr. Scoobs

3/18/19 2:48pm

I think it’s the fact that all the good teams we play are next to each other

SOS is a lame excuse that doesn't match up with the facts.

Mr. Scoobs

Perfect post. Fire Kalani before firing Rose

Not necessarily. Football actually had a postseason this year

The recruiting info is very discouraging

Tom told Bronco he would not renew his contract. Period.

I'd need to see that in print to believe it. BM knew INDY was death and wanted

USU's team is a majority RMs. But compare the two coaching staffs.

Richbyu

USU doesn’t limit itself to LDS coaches. The Pool is much larger

Just to be clear, the main point of my post is not: FIRE ROSE

BYUheaven

I guess you want more of the same...

I sure want more wins

I don't really follow BBall recruiting. That 2016 is looking to be a solid class

How about win/losses for that time, a bit of a different story:
