It’s like saying Bronco isn’t an awful coach, and the bitter grapes and being negative about someone with a solid career because we’re bitter about landing a couple recruits is a bad look.

I’ve gone from thinking Bronco was a top 20 coach to now thinking he’s average

Why would you ignore his first season?

One could argue the 1st year of a rebuild shouldn’t be held against the HC

Hope LDS recruits see it. Because it’s a thing.

You have a mediocre EQ pres?

Great guy but would definitely be a subpar D1 coach. He’s a very good EQP ftr

Seems that’s more likely than not

To be fair, That's not really underachieving at UVa

BYU finished in the top 25 in 2011 and finishing unranked is the norm for UVA

I’m seeing the last AP Top 25 finish being in 2009

Ok, so 10 years ago he coached a borderline Top 25 team. I think any average

Virginia was the ACC equivalent of Kansas, Rutgers, Vanderbilt, etc.

Yeah but is he resorting back to the mean?

Mike London was bad, but they were a better program under Al Groh and George

Well they won the Coastal & went to an Orange Bowl, so that's hard to top.

And? He won it.

Yup and i beat a 12 year old 100-6 in basketball.I AM THE GREATEST!!

CarolinaCoug

That’s not a solid comparison

CougieMcCougFace

9/25/21 10:02am

That’s unfair. George Welsh had UVa competing at a high level for a long time.

Finished ranked six times in 19 years. 12 bowl appearances.

Fake news. False. Incorrect and wrong. DUKE and wake were Always the worst.

UVA has 9 ranked finishes, 2 shared conference titles, and 1 division title

Utah wasn’t a good program until Urban came along. A good coach can build a

Bronco isn't Lavell or Urban he's good but hasn't shown that ability

Kajdin

Uh yeah. That was the point of the OP. My point was that it doesn’t take

Fatalplacebo

9/25/21 8:47am

LaVell and Urban aren’t just “good coaches.” They’re two of the best coaches ever

Alpi Gusto

The former coach was 27-46. Before that? 59-53. It gets a little better then

I think he's above average at taking dumpster fire programs and making them at

He took UVA to an Orange Bowl and beat Virginia Tech.

If you can go to the Orange Bowl and not finish top 25 then the Orange Bowl

Odysseus

Ranking doesn’t pay the school. Orange bowl does.

CougieMcCougFace

9/25/21 11:19am

Sure, it’s better for a program. But it’s not much of an on-field accomplishment

Odysseus

9/25/21 11:27am

It’s not like saying bronco is better than sitake.

CougieMcCougFace

9/25/21 11:36am

He’s not terrible. He’s mediocre

Odysseus

9/25/21 11:41am

If mediocre means going to bowl games often and making millions im jealous

CougieMcCougFace

Yes, I would rather be a mediocre D1 football coach than work my current day job

Odysseus

9/25/21 1:57pm

Stop. You have zero credential to call him mediocre.

CougieMcCougFace

9/25/21 2:05pm

I don’t have the credentials to say Nathan Peterman is a bad NFL QB either but

There is no other catalyst right now other than losing recruits.

I’m withholding my vote until after he plays against BYU

CougarCanuck76

Decent is how I would classify him.

Sooner Cougar

I think he’s an elite DC and slightly above average HC

Agree. Defensive genius. NFL caliber guy.

I feel ya. Ive taken a beating for a decade now for talking about Broncos

I definitely fit the description of your last paragraph

Its about time! Its been obvious for years.

He’s a great coach. But BYU was an especially good fit for his skill set.

He isnt. We have years worth at 2 programs. He is average...
