1984coug Intervention Needed

Shocked- I’m going to assume that he’s probably upset fans are complaining after

Seeing the short success they had (got into the orange bowl simply due to Clemson being in the cfp). Fans got a small taste of success and he hasn’t proven he can actually take that next step.

I find it funny that He went to Virginia due to similar values and priorities as BYU. Now he says he can’t compete without them spending money.

Bronco is the guy to turn around a program, but not the guy to take it to an elite level

Bronco's seat getting hot.

Mods?

At least the fans don't try to talk to them at church.

11/28/21 7:50pm

Aren't those guys back there Masons?

TNT

So their fans are seeing what we saw 8-9 years ago?

What? UVA has had more success under Bronco than last 30 yrs

Bobmarleyjr

11/28/21 9:53pm

Have you researched the past 30 years? Bronco has clearly had much more success

cwilke1

11/28/21 10:09pm

Success? Going from crap to average is what Bronco does. There is a reason why

Backcountry

Tough crowd.

cougfanz

11/28/21 7:51pm

Sounds familiar. Bronco only wants to do so much. He has a self imposed ceiling

kotacoug

11/28/21 7:51pm

Yup. He treats it like a 9 to 5 job.

Mountain Rat

Keep losing to rivals. Absolute crap defense. I truly don't get it. That was

Would he return and become BYU DC in the new BIG12?

Bronco is no Rocky Long

Neither side would do that (Kalani or Bronco).

I would absolutely LOVE this

I’d say it’s getting warm. Another 6-6 campaign or worse and it’ll be scalding.

ChadFromCougarTown

He needs a new DC

grosven

11/28/21 7:53pm

He needs a new team to fix then leave before he Broncos them

Crazy how similar it is. UVA was in a bad spot when they hired him. He vastly

The ceiling isnt "there". Bronco is the ceiling.

Backcountry

11/28/21 8:00pm

Seriously? UVA definitely has a ceiling. With or without Bronco.

Iman23

11/28/21 8:20pm

Seriously. Its clear what Broncos ceiling is. Slightly better than average.

Backcountry

11/28/21 8:21pm

Yes they do have a ceiling without big money. They have the worst facilities.

11/28/21 8:36pm

Bronco is a builder

Dark Forest Green

Bronco is great at resetting culture and as a DC. If he isn’t doing those two things he is much less valuable.

shimmy

11/28/21 7:56pm

If I’m Bronco, I recognize what I’m good at and go get big paychecks to do it…

11/28/21 7:59pm

I’d retire and go surfing if I was Bronco.

I don’t think it is that simple. Here are my thoughts.

11/28/21 8:30pm

I agree with you. They need to maximize their value. Urban understood this…

The_Cuss

11/28/21 10:11pm

I wonder if the AD told him to fire the DC, would he? Or demote him? Loyal he is

11/28/21 7:59pm

He did make everyone reapply for their jobs around 2012 or so

BYU Fan

They are idiots

Hawk Talons

11/28/21 7:59pm

His record v VT is bad and Tech has been bad. He needs to win rivalry games for goodwill and doesn’t.

11/28/21 8:14pm

Philosophy has always been to treat rivalry like regular games. Doesn't work.

if you research the history, you can see that Virginia has had a majority

UVA isn’t firing a coach that gets them to bowls.

CougieMcCougFace

11/28/21 7:59pm

Honestly, if they fire him Duke should hire him.

rtNelson

11/28/21 8:19pm

I've said this before. I was worried that Bronco had reached the ceiling for BYU as an independent. Turns out...

Adrielle

Good summary

TNT

11/28/21 8:04pm

a little unfair, their defense was miserable, but if they don't lose Armstrong, they beat ND and Pitt and he's a hero

ChinaFan

11/28/21 8:16pm

If a frog had wings it wouldnt bump its butt when it hopped.

Backcountry

11/28/21 8:21pm

It's doubtful that they beat ND.

Adrielle

11/28/21 8:24pm

The game I watched, if they have Armstrong, ND couldn't have scored enough

ChinaFan

11/28/21 8:25pm

So they couldn't beat BYU but they would have beat Notre Dame? Wow.

notsofast

11/28/21 8:36pm

Armstrong played against Pitt.

Bossk82

11/28/21 8:29pm

I would say if they had even a half decent defense they might be a two loss team

Bronco needs a new defensive coordinator. UVA’s offense is solid.

“accountability only exists one way”

HONOMO

11/28/21 9:16pm

Preaches huge accountability for players. Fans want accountability for Howell.

Name a better coach they could get? He’s a winning coach? What do they want?

Bobmarleyjr

11/28/21 9:54pm

Are you asking me because I linked a story from a Virginia Rivals website?

Manti

11/28/21 10:06pm

It’s Virginia, not BYU. The coaching pool is endless. You take your shot on a guy just like everybody else

molodyets

11/29/21 8:07am

Funny thing is people said that about BYU too and look where we are

HONOMO

11/29/21 9:12am

People said our coaching pool is endless?

11/29/21 9:17am

No, they said "who are you going to get to replace him? Bronco is winning."

molodyets

11/29/21 9:45am

It worked out ... but it was a huge risk.

runnincoug

11/29/21 11:10am

Not to mention Kalani was young and had ZERO experience as HC, so it was a big gamble. Similar to the Bronco hire.

BlueBlood94

11/29/21 11:36am

Kalani was a much safer hire than Bronco. Kalani was our #1 choice at the time.

Backcountry

11/29/21 12:34pm

Nah. It was clear 7 or 8 years ago that Kalani was the obvious guy for BYU.

Backcountry

11/29/21 12:32pm

Too soon to tell. He’s had lot of talent his good years. There’s a correlation

The way their game went sounds eirily familiar to our last game with USC. Except
