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

I’m not saying it’s unfair or there weren’t positives mentioned. When two of the coaches talk about BYU thinking they are more than they are that’s not very flattering IMHO.

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?

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

That's the only comment that could be construed negatively

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

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.

I'm guessing Rocky Long - huge BM fan

8/9/19 3:09pm

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

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

Mission nonsense?

FiveTen-BuckEighty

How is that a benefit again?

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

FiveTen-BuckEighty

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

You still have to come back and get into shape.

Lip Gallagher

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

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

Lip Gallagher

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

IceCreamButt

8/9/19 3:23pm

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

BYUtka

8/9/19 3:25pm

I disagree.

IceCreamButt

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.

Lip Gallagher

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

puntersarepeople

It seriously sounds like a CBer made them up.

Lip Gallagher

8/9/19 3:25pm

I agree

puntersarepeople

8/9/19 3:26pm

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