Bronco left because the fans didn't respect him

He left because he knows BYU football is a sinking ship. After screwing up

I think this is correct. He got tired of dealing with unrealistic fans.

Unsustainable in relation to what exactly?

TNT doesn't know what was going on in their brain when they said that

Well it should be clear even to the TNTs of the world that he didn't mean it was unsustainable in relation to G5.

Look pal. Read the original post. Are you comprehending?

Bronco left to go rebuild a P5 program. Who could blame him?

#1 reason Bronco left was a $3.4 million salary

Any part of it because Bronco's wife got tired of the criticism?

All the Bronco haters got their cool coach. How's that worked out?

*shrugs* TNT just heard she got tired of the non-stop criticism

It was unbearable even on CB to non-family members. I can't imagine how much it sucked to her.

Wasn't it just around Provo not from CB?

Same results as we had with Bronco after Crowtons recruits graduated

.500? #math Using your logic, 2016 didn't count for Kalani. So he's been downright awful and should be fired then.

Bronco averaged 9 wins per season. 6, 11, 11, 10, 11, 7, 10, 8, 8, 8, 9. How would 2006-2009 have worked out

mulletino

Thats not the only difference. Bronco never recruited lineman. It may have been

And even Detmer and Kalani looked ok in 2016 with "BRONCO's" recruits. Fun game, isn't it?

He was riding Taysom and Jamal. You know that. Did you disregard everything I

And who recruited Taysom and Jamaal? #FUN

Again, you ignored my whole point. Also, the hashtag thing is weird

If Bronco is that bad, why is he finding success at a P5 school?

Hes an elite defensive coach.

Bronco averaged 9 wins during independence. Kalani is averaging 6. That’s a -25%
