My First Vent

I love to see people finally seeing Bronco as he really is. For at least 4-5 years I have been preaching the "Fire Bronco" mantra. He has a lot of great characteristics and qualities, but he is NOT head coach material. People want to give him and Doman some credit, but why should we give it to them? Bronco has had his chance to do great things with great talent, and he has squandered it. He doesn't know how to use his talent effectively and he seems to fail to prepare his boys for the big games. The only game I saw where the fire was there for him and his team was the Oklahoma game in Arlington. One game in how many years?? I saw a stat that said he had a 4-12 record against Top 25 teams since he's been coach. That's 33%!! You have that kind of winning percentage against top tier teams in any other big conference and you are shown the door. Sure, Bronco has a high winning percentage while coaching in a weak MWC- 75% or something to that number- but he should have a high winning percentage there. As a matter of fact, it's embarrassing that it wasn't higher! With the way college football is going, and with the way Holmoe is scheduling games, BYU can't have that kind of weak record against quality opponents. 2013 could be abysmal with the teams on our schedule. Now, I could list all the reasons why Bronco should be escorted out, but need we look any further than this season and all the horrid calls he made? My wife, who knows nothing about football, even questioned his decision to go for two against Boise St. with how the game was going. And what about the love affair with Riley?! Bronco's sappy sentiments concerning Nelson got old really early and the fact that he left him in that San Jose St. game (while he was obviously hurt) was mind numbing. If you have a coach that doesn't choose to see that and adapt his game plan to put his whole team in the best possible position to win, then he is inept. At times I wonder if Bronco thought about all the other players on his team, and think that he let them down by his poor decisions. It's time for a change. Find someone who cares about spreading the Gospel and someone who wants to make football a top priority, because both can happen. We don't need to settle for one or the other. There are coaches out there that can do both. Coaches who don't just talk National Championship talk, but actually want to work for it. I, for one, am sick of hearing all the hype from Bronco himself before the season, and then hear him defend his horrible coaching by claiming that football is not the top priority. Ship him out, or continue to settle for mediocrity and dull postgame interviews with “execution” being mentioned every other word.
