TailgateU Walk-on

into a ranked program with positive steady results. At Virginia, he took a dumpster fire and made a bowl game in his second year. In year 3 he went 8-5 including a 28-0 shutout over South Carolina in the bowl game. They are now ranked.

Some folks on CB act like he was a mediocre coach. He's a great coach, and I'm happy for him.

Totally agreed. I liked Bronco when he was here, and still like him at Virginia and wish him well. He is a great coach.

Firesides were extreme? Too many fans exaggerated too many things.

Disagree. He took a program that had experienced scandals and worked to keep it
