Mission nonsense?

Nothing wrong at all with this comment IMO:

"They're going to be really strong up front on offense. They really benefit from the Mormon mission exemption to get big, mature lineman, but they've got experience there this year."

This is one of the areas where it is a benefit.

Coaches talk about BYU

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

Not very flattering is it.

Natedog916

I didn’t think it was unflattering.

I thought it was pretty balanced. I think the bottom line is they think the ceiling for BYU isn't as high

Indy Coug

8/9/19 3:03pm

Honestly, what exactly are you talking about?

FiveTen-BuckEighty

8/9/19 3:04pm

I don’t think it is inaccurate. “Flattering” has nothing to do with accuracy.

Natedog916

8/9/19 3:10pm

Do you expect flattery from other coaches? These folks assess teams all the time

FiveTen-BuckEighty

You are harping on it though. It’s just my opinion on the tone of the article.

Natedog916

That's the only comment that could be construed negatively

Archaea

I think only the first comment was negative. Sounds like it came from a

8/9/19 3:04pm

If it came from one of our opponents than it has to have been SDSU or USU

Agreed. The upside from leaving the MWC exceeded the downside to staying.

JJCoug

I'm guessing Rocky Long - huge BM fan

whirl

8/9/19 3:09pm

I thought it was on point. Not unflaterring at all. Just realistic.

8/9/19 3:08pm

First comments sounds like a lame Ute/MWC talking point but rest seems fairish

Mission nonsense?

How is that a benefit again?

Much more difficult to get true FR and even SO's big and physical

FiveTen-BuckEighty

8/9/19 3:16pm

In comparison it is easy to get returned missionaries to be big and physical

8/9/19 3:22pm

You still have to come back and get into shape.

8/9/19 3:24pm

True, but Hoge and Empey will be better the next 2 years than they would've

FiveTen-BuckEighty

8/9/19 3:28pm

Hoge isn't a member and didn't go a on a mission.

Napoli

8/9/19 3:34pm

OK - my mistake. Fill in any other RM who is starting.

FiveTen-BuckEighty

8/9/19 3:37pm

actually, I'm pretty sure Hoge is a member

Jizosh

8/9/19 4:30pm

How could we possibly know? He needed the whole year to get ready.

8/9/19 3:44pm

a mission is a huge (athletic)negative for anyone who served a mission

Who is "they" in the "they pressured Bronco to leave" comment?

JJCoug

8/9/19 3:11pm

I don't believe he was pushed either, it was a good move for him. Most peoplee

8/9/19 3:23pm

Most people who push that he wasn't are revising history.

BYUtka

8/9/19 3:25pm

I disagree.

8/9/19 3:27pm

I see that.

BYUtka

8/9/19 3:28pm

I think your memory is off. He was very clearly pushed out.

BYUtka

8/9/19 3:24pm

You mean by the AD/Administration?

JJCoug

8/9/19 3:30pm

And fans and donors.

BYUtka

8/9/19 3:37pm

Yep. Bronco has said that he doesn't see himself as a coaching lifer. He took

Referring to CB. High five anyone?

Nothing too unreasonable there.

Why not just link to the story instead of to your tweet linking to someone else's story?

They sound fake.

8/9/19 3:21pm

These ones probably are because there weren’t other coaches to ask in our confer

puntersarepeople

8/9/19 3:24pm

It seriously sounds like a CBer made them up.

8/9/19 3:25pm

I agree

puntersarepeople

8/9/19 3:26pm

It doesn’t sound like they know much. Just talking points.

This was an interesting tidbit:

Coaches don’t seem to be as smart as I thought.
