100%. He is a brilliant DC. That was a miracle in 1 week.

he clearly isn't in charge of Virginia's D then. They stink

When in his final game he essentially quit on his team

I’m not convinced texbird33 actually watched that game, or even that he likes

I was actually at the game and talked with players on the team 🤷🏻‍♂️

And what did they say? How exactly did he quit?

ColonelMustard

To be fair, Bronco did accept the UVA job before

That doesn’t count as Bronco quitting on his team. Bronco never quits. Guy is a

The only way he quit that day was by quitting on Tuiloma's knee. Dude was killing it and I am convinced BYU wins if

This is ridiculous, but I still get nervous watching this thinking that the ref might call Mitch down on the 1-yd line.

Not solely a "Bronco moment," but I was impressed with Bronco's team when we throttled Oregon in the 2006 Vegas Bowl.

You might be right.... I'm just doing this from memory.... But i believe Kalani

I don’t dispute what you’re saying. I just think it’s a stretch regarding Utah

Gotcha... fair enough

sundance

I’m rooting for Kalani, but his record vs Utah is so bad. Finally got 1 win.
