Good CB post on a Bronco speech
Thought some of you anti-CBers would want to see this. It's a nice summary of a speech Bronco apparently gave at the Cougar United luncheon. Maybe some of you have heard this stuff before, but some of it was new to me.
I thought it was fascinating to hear that Bronco thought he was a short-timer as soon as he was hired. I wonder if the administration gave him that impression. The anecdote about a playoff was annoying (no surprise there), and it's fascinating to me that the penalty problem is low on his priority list. His anti-booing sentiment I heard myself when I attended one of his firesides. I think it's awesome. He ought to continually call out fans on booing. I couldn't be more enthused about Bronco as our HC. http://www.cougarboard.com/noframes/...tml?id=3153581

Bronco is another example of why God loves BYU football. BYU, despite their best efforts, nearly let him get away. Who knew he would turn out to be as good as he has been?
I think BYU has done a good job of locking him up for the long-term with the last contract extension and BYU's future is bright. |

I think his apt handling of the administration, alumni and off-the-field player issues has already been sufficiently demonstrated. Going 16-2 in his last 18 games is another very positive indicator.

Regardless, the dude can stroke CougarNation like no other, but I think that is because he really wins. Perhaps I am a cynic, but consider me a bit skeptical that he didn't think winning was important. But lines about being brought into "clean up the program" continues to reinforce the IndyCoug line that Gary Crowton was fired because of the HC issues and not his winning percentage. If most want to believe that, I am OK with it. I don't believe it but I am OK with others believing whatever they want. It seems it is an issue that the fanbase and admin has very strong feelings about so Bronco is one smart sumuhgun to keep reinforcing it.

That is a good point, until his name is held in tight Aggie circles as a possible HC along with Belicheck, Les Miles and some of those other strong Aggie candidates Bronco Mendenhall is just mediocre.

If you dig around enough, you'll see there have been plenty of others that have said the same thing that I have zero association with or influence over. But that's another thread...
