I doubt many of use will see the professional success Bronco has...

He was highly regarded as a coach by his peers. Coached at BYU and moved to a P5 school. Most successful BYU coach since Lavell Edwards. BYU is the house that Lavell built. But it would not exist today without Bronco literally saving it.

I wish him all the best in his retirement.

Holy cow that sounds miserable. Is he ok? Should we go rescue him?

Sounds like a great life to me. Goooooooooo Broncoooooooooo,

Yep, would be a dream retirement! Good for him!

It does. Iron man competitions are torture

Cashed in and bailed. Can’t blame him.

It’s surprising more coaches don’t do that as well.

After all this NIL nonsense, I would strongly doubt we ever see Bronco coaching

darkcoug

5/24/22 9:54am

Flys right in the face of everything he is about.

5/24/22 10:21am

Although he’s cool with pulling down $3.5M per year for himself

Odysseus

5/24/22 11:17am

How is that relevant? That is his adult career.

5/24/22 11:43am

I guess so. Seems odd to have a “principled” stance that involves an adult

Odysseus

5/24/22 12:16pm

Exactly, I agree!

The_Cuss

5/24/22 12:34pm

Is it that - or is it that he doesn’t want to be the guy dealing with it all?

This is what I think Bronco thinks about recruiting and the NIL...just way more

StarMan

5/24/22 12:54pm

I think Bronco hates arogent, entitled young men and that is what NIL is brining about.

5/24/22 2:11pm

I think you’re right about that

Odysseus

Bronco spoke out about coaches being paid too much also. I think you’re

only Bronco can ride two horses at once.

5/24/22 9:55am

If he decides to come back, I doubt it is as a head coach

Hey-O! You may be on to something. 🙂

Soupie

Doubt he would go for that. As HC he could run the show how he wanted. Hard to back to answering to someone else.

Metallicat

5/24/22 10:00am

I doubt he coaches in any capacity, especially with NIL, which Bronco would hate

runnincoug

5/24/22 10:03am

Don't you still recruit a lot as a coordinator. Dropping of paletts of cash to

novacoug1

5/24/22 10:14am

Yeah, if anything the coordinators have to do the dirty work for the head coach.

runnincoug

5/24/22 10:20am

That’s been my thought as well - just being a football guy as much as possible

BYUfan92

He could follow in his mentor’s footsteps. Rocky Long is DC at Unm.

We sold one of our race horses to his sister in law for barrel racing.

he was about to ride two horses?

Exactly right. (One of favorite Bronco-isms)

Living his true dreams. Thanks for the memories Bronco, well deserved!

You can only do so much fishing. True happiness comes from pursuing a purpose

What if fishing is his purpose and meaningful work?

5/24/22 11:34am

Have you ever retired though?

sunjieming

5/24/22 12:12pm

I don’t think he is retired. I think he’s retired from football. That’s it.

Peter James and John would probably disagree with you. I definitely disagree with you 🙂

As uncomfortable as Bronco seemed with other people, at peace with himself.

Good for Bronco. He really is living the dream.

Backcountry

He has 115 memories from LES.
