Dude, Elder Mendenhall intimates as such to various booster groups. It must be gospel!

Yeah, just like A&M is going to claim email-gate as the reason to void Fran's contract and fire him.

I've heard all of this except for the new MWC thing. Add two teams to the MWC? Everytime I think Bronco has some real Rondo-style vision for the program he says crap that makes me wonder. Small thinking. He's coached at Oregon State when it was nothing, La Tech, and New Mexico. I think he actually believes it when he says the MWC is tough and they need a non-D1AA game to balance out the schedule. Pure crap. Glad he's for a playoff. I'm surprised by that story, though. A lot of coaches are vocal about a playoff. It's the university prez's that are against it. Booing. He's got to get over it. That's small man again. Be bigger than it, Bronco. I heard this victim talk at the fireside last week. Those passionate fans are the ones that enable you to make $1M coaching a SPORT. You are living the dream, and it's because of those passionate fans. Embrace them. Validate them for being passionate. I like the focus on scoring. That's a change since he started. He (and Indy) used to talk about yards. KW (and I) talk about scoring. Bronco's evolved on that. He might want to set a different bar for the offense. That's somewhere around #80 in the nation. I'm all for wearing blue. Recruiting. I've heard him say this stuff for a couple years. I think it's probably for the purpose of blowing smoke up people like Tex's arse who actually believe BYU FB is a worthiness contest. I doubt the 3.0 GPA thing is true. If we turn away a stud athlete with a 2.9, that would be the dumbest thing Bronco did yet. And I don't think he's that dumb. |

A&M != BYU, but the principle still loosely holds. cf: IU and Bobby Knight.

I heard Bronco speak at this years Legacy
CC luncheon. I walked away both satisfied as a fan and impressed.
Learned not to read to much into after he says something listening to peoples interpretation. Here is what I heard, paraphrased. Bronco said he considers his number one job at BYU is to build young men and have them live in accordance with the BYU vision. Of course a big smile comes accross the face of Pres. Samuelson and Skousen and BYU71 frowns. Then he says, I know many of you in this room don't agree with this and BYU71's ears perk up. He said, I know if I don't win I will be fired. Skousen shakes his head no, but I know Bronco is right. Either he will be fired or BYU will have to find some way of funding their it's OK to lose as long as we obey the HC policy. Bronco then says, integrity without winning has no credibility. Wow, BYU71 is really in the Bronco camp. Yea, sure. Have the kids live the BYU vision as your most important goal, that is fine with me. You get it Bronco. Words are great and winning is the bottom line. Therefor, while I have fun with the Crowton was fired because of the honor code crowd, I still know why the guy was fired. I still know why people are showing up at firesides. |
