Skeptical Optimist Intervention Needed

Jeff Benedict: Once in honor code trouble, Van Noy almost didn't come to BYU

On January 10–11, 2009, Te’o and Van Noy both made their official visits to BYU. Every detail had been considered to persuade Te’o to join Van Noy by committing to BYU. But things didn’t quite turn out as planned.

My fav Bronco moment? When he left for Virginia

Elvis

I think that’s selling him short

BYUfan92

10/25/21 4:16am

+He saved the program from the brink after the Crowton era.

10/25/21 4:31am

Taysom was a lucky get.

SouthernBlueBlood

10/25/21 4:33am

A transfer doesn’t mean lucky necessarily. Do we also then consider “unlucky?”

BYUfan92

10/25/21 4:46am

We got Taysom because Stanford messed up.

SouthernBlueBlood

10/25/21 8:36am

And every other school on the planet turned him down?

EtTuKalante

10/26/21 6:19am

Doman worked awfully hard on that "lucky get"

kccougar

10/25/21 9:27am

The point remains- Stanford has a spot No Taysom

SouthernBlueBlood

10/25/21 9:30am

Such a bad take

OrangeCougar

I understand you'r sentiment, but he deserves a standing ovation...

Maybe a good clap but not a standing ovation.

The restraints on the HC were more Bronco’s own restraints. BYU HC have a lot of

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 5:26am

What’s your source for that - or is that an unsubstantiated opinion?

BYUfan92

10/25/21 5:40am

Uh… you can look at the substantiative evidence staring you in the face.

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 6:01am

Did YOU read the article?

HoustonBYUCoug

10/25/21 6:57am

Haha cherry picked the part that says it was literally Bronco’s policy. And then

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 7:07am

Crowtonmesswd up and as a result Bronco had much higher standards given to him

BYUfan92

10/25/21 11:17am

Bronco was explicitly told that he didn't have leeway with the HC

Skeptical Optimist

10/25/21 5:58am

What’s your evidence for the first statement? The coaches we have now do that

RE: What’s your evidence for the first statement? The coaches we have now

Skeptical Optimist

10/25/21 6:09am

LOL. That literally says it was mostly Bronco’s policy. Did you really read it?

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 6:17am

Did you read the part about how he kept the scholarship offer and went to bat

Skeptical Optimist

10/25/21 7:07am

Yes. He made an exception to his own policy which he enforced strictly and

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 7:13am

Why did the university president care if it was "just Bronco's policy"

HoustonBYUCoug

10/25/21 7:41am

Because good leaders implement the policies the leaders underneath them create

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 7:51am

I've never had a boss hold me accountable to a policy that I personally...

HoustonBYUCoug

10/25/21 7:54am

Sounds like crappy bosses. I would definitely inform a dude underneath me if I

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 7:58am

Sounds like you've had some bosses that have had to micro-manage you...

HoustonBYUCoug

10/25/21 8:13am

Solid attempt at a dig at me, but a swing and a miss. I was the boss. And I’ll

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 8:23am

"I was the boss (that micro-managed)." Nice...

HoustonBYUCoug

10/25/21 8:32am

If I had to, yeah. Haha sounds like you don’t understand leadership very well.

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 8:36am

Ill take the jab, and just leave a quote from brother Joseph.

HoustonBYUCoug

10/25/21 10:08am

All kidding aside, I'm in no position to critique your management at work.

HoustonBYUCoug

10/25/21 8:35am

Think whatever you want. I’ll stick to what the actual article said.

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 8:37am

Except you're not. You're jumping to ridiculous conclusions that aren't there.

HoustonBYUCoug

10/25/21 10:18am

Fine. Ignore the article now. Haha and yes man. I remember all of that.

Lieutenant America

10/25/21 10:28am

People call Cougarboard a cesspool because they see one bad take (like the op) and think everyone on here has that

durandal

10/25/21 7:26am

Calling it a cesspool is speaking the truth isn't it?

Kilgruman

10/25/21 9:38am

I appreciate most of his time at BYU, but I get what you mean. He was a good

Sometimes. And if that player won a championship. Cheering for Bronco is like
