I don't want a nice guy for a coach, but a guy who has killer instincts and can win.

The kind of coach that you want is also one who would use BYU as a stepping stone to a bigger program.

There are two types of fans that Bronco hates:
1. The Casual Fan
2. The Fan with Expectations

What he wants is fans who love the team fanatically, never doubt the coaches, and never say anything negative about the players. Oh, and never ask any damn annoying questions. They can figure that crap out for themselves. Plus they have to care more about firesides than games (priorities); remember, the worst possible season is an undefeated one, as a team requires losses to learn from, and no one likes the pressure, attention, and scrutiny of being in the limelight (and losing games must somehow help the missionary aspect of the football program). Once he gets that, he'll give BYU a solid 4 years or so before retiring early to become a professional surfer/horse-wrangler.

Sounds like Bronco is a likely candidate for GA.

That is exactly what I am saying.

The BCS has created such disparity in the world of college football, that the non-BCS teams will always have the good chance that their coach will bolt for bigger money and more recognition.

I think Utah and BYU are fortunate right now, as I think both KW and Mendenhall will be there for the long run.
