I miss Bronco’s defenses:

I miss Brady Poppinga

I think Wilgar has some Poppinga traits. But tough to make big plays sitting back and taking on guards every play.

Bronco had some awesome defenses. And some really poor ones.

shoganai

10/5/22 2:51pm

We've only had poor ones since, sans year1

CarolinaCoug

10/5/22 2:54pm

Only 2 were average or below since 2007 and none nearly as bad as last year.

ManicBlue

Depends which set of analytics you look at.

shoganai

10/5/22 3:03pm

And 2 of Crowton’s terrible defenses were with Bronco as the DC

icecougar

10/5/22 3:09pm

Lol. You think BYU’s defenses in both 2003 and 2004 were bad?

mulletino

10/5/22 3:10pm

They were both average or a little below, statistically. But a big improvement

shoganai

10/5/22 3:48pm

Naturally, after Crowton signed all those players in 2004 that got thrown out, left, and/or ultimately murdered people

mulletino

10/5/22 4:36pm

Bronco was a very average recruiter, but his talent tended to over-perform its

shoganai

10/5/22 5:02pm

You mean the defensive players that Bronco helped recruit and failed to control?

icecougar

10/8/22 2:56am

Prove it. Bronco is the biggest disciplinarian BYU's has ever employed.

mulletino

Bronco's discipline may have saved BYU football. BYU football couldn't take any more problems at that time.

ManicBlue

10/8/22 10:22am

So he had 2 bad defenses in 13 seasons as HC/DC?

mulletino

10/5/22 3:10pm

Not compared to tuiaki both were better than tuiakis

CarolinaCoug

10/5/22 3:11pm

Ag&$&(:.

mulletino

10/5/22 3:12pm

2014 wasn’t good either

icecougar

10/8/22 2:57am

The year BYU would have gone undefeated if not for Taysom's injury? yeah, that year.

mulletino

10/8/22 8:04am

I like fei. Accordong to their analytics '05& 14 wer better than Tuiakis 72 in17

CarolinaCoug

10/5/22 3:10pm

2005 is pretty understandable given the Crowton yrs and the number of recruiting misses.

ManicBlue

10/5/22 3:12pm

If you're arguing that Bronco is a better defensive coach than Tuiaki, you won't

shoganai

10/5/22 3:46pm

Problem is that we need one as good as Bronco going forward.. With P5 money, recruiting and

ManicBlue

10/5/22 3:51pm

If someone as good as Bronco is the requirement, we are hopeless.

shoganai

10/5/22 3:53pm

I'm fine if they don't stay long term. Teach the defensive assistants we have to take over.

ManicBlue

10/5/22 4:30pm

Sounds like you've got it all figured out.

shoganai

10/5/22 4:35pm

Wishful thinking. However, I wouldn't mind these guys either.

ManicBlue

10/5/22 4:42pm

I'm sure they'd be strong candidates if there was a job opening at BYU.

shoganai

10/5/22 4:59pm

Never say never. 😉

ManicBlue

10/5/22 5:02pm

I can see why you used the 2004 highlights and not the 2005 game.

Indy Coug

The BYU 3-3-5 experiment ended poorly, but the 3-4 went well for the most part.

Corn Pop

10/5/22 3:02pm

Actually it was just what popped up on my Instagram feed. But yeah, Bronco didn’t have much to work with in 2005.

mulletino

10/5/22 3:09pm

Bronco made me excited about the defense for the 1st time

BigHouse Coug

10/5/22 2:59pm

2012 season was a fun D

icecougar

10/5/22 3:10pm

Was that the year of the Kyle Van Noy Bowl?

BigHouse Coug

10/5/22 3:25pm

Wait. People can touch the quarterback?

I miss the sideline lineup and count then run onto the field thing.

monteburns

The fact that fans have a problem with that is really funny

kimdaddy35

2012 was incredible

This is why ND won't come to BYU.

People forget his defenses gave up a lot of points at times. They did have some

Here are some while he was DC before getting others involved coordinating

Thrill

10/5/22 11:49pm

He was the DC and HC from 2006-2009. And other years.

mulletino

10/5/22 11:57pm

Had to go all the way back to when he first arrived to help Crowton with his dumpster fire? hahaha

ManicBlue

10/6/22 12:00am

Here are the average defensive pts/game.

ManicBlue

10/5/22 11:11pm

Quite comparable

Bronco had some great defenses. But the competition was not the same as what we have faced this year and last.
