Bronco's winning % from 11-15 was essentially equal Lavell's career winning %.
He was 43-17 from 11-15 (71.67%). Lavell was 257-101-3 (71.79%)

I think we will look back on the Bronco years as a great era of BYU football.

I'm just glad he left under contract instead of being fired. That would make me feel even worse about the crappy

He was told by Tom his contract would not be renewed.

Allegedly, a year before it expired. I'm wary of that report.

The 06 - 11 stretch is only surpassed by 79 - 85 as the best in BYU history

06-09 Bronco was amazing. Wish we could have carried some of that momentum

2/22/18 10:12am
We were on the cusp if not for devastating injuries to QB. At least we still won
Mr. Scoobs
2/22/18 10:17am
Yup. A down Bronco win was 8 wins and a bowl game, flirting with the top 25

Would've loved to see Bronco with a senior and healthy Taysom/Jamaal.

Would have been a special season

I look fondly upon the 06-09 years. But not the later years.
Bostonblue
2/22/18 10:22am
A few more 4-9 seasons and the tune will change. People already think 6-7 wins
Mr. Scoobs
2/22/18 10:25am
I'd be absolutely ecstatic to hit Bronco's floor next year. That's a tall order

Nothing risked, nothing gained. Fortune favors the bold. etc etc etc.

Bronco's winning % from 11-15 was essentially equal Lavell's career winning %.
displacedute
2/22/18 10:30am
Lavell's teams finished ranked 50% of the years he was coach. Let that sink in.
Bostonblue
2/22/18 10:37am
And Bronco was 5/11 or 45%, In a much harder era for BYU to compete.
Mr. Scoobs
2/22/18 10:42am
hence the reason I said I looked fondly upon the 06-09 years.
Bostonblue
2/22/18 11:00am
So you look fondly at a 50% for Lavell, but only a 100% portion for Bronco?
Mr. Scoobs
2/22/18 11:03am
Nope. I don't.
Bostonblue
2/22/18 11:27am
LaVell's teams were ranked in 5 of his last 15 seasons (33%) Let that sink in
Indy Coug
2/22/18 10:46am
and Lavell retired. Let that sink in.

In the incredibly awful WAC...can't compare across that long of a timeline.

I wasn't the one who started the comparison. I was just responding to it.

Yes, yes you did.

haha. Okay. Next time we need a ruling for what is "acceptable", I'll ask you.

LaVell had a higher ceiling than Bronco

No. Look at the experienced talent already in place

I’m not comparing Bronco to LaVell. I never would.

2/22/18 5:41pm
It was 3.7 wins. Sheesh, get your facts straight. SMH.

I agree. Bronco hit his peak from 06-09.
eddog
2/22/18 11:10am
really? You'd call it "special?" Like '96, '84', '83, '80 kind of special?

Compared to going 4-9, it would feel special.

Bronco is on the hot seat at Virginia. If he doesn't win more, he might be out
Richbyu
2/22/18 10:32am
Are there articles from Virginia stating that sentiment?
Indy Coug
2/22/18 10:33am
LOL. Took a terrible team and brought them to a bowl game.
Mr. Scoobs
2/22/18 10:37am
Bronco doesn't get to play teams with worse resources anymore.
Richbyu
2/22/18 10:41am
My point is this, if you think he sucks at Virginia, it doesn't matter to how
Mr. Scoobs
2/22/18 10:44am
I think Bronco is going to have to have to start competing in the ACC or his job

Lavell never did much more than that either. It’s hard to do

Bronco is what, like 8 - 17 in two years? Mike London was 12 - 13 his first 2.

How did you feel about LaVell's coaching years? And how does 4-9 feel?

I’ll take “meh” over “ugh” which is what we have now.
canofpicante

And then he bailed. After allowing the program, including recruiting start to tank.

Recruiting got substantially worse with KS who is labeled as a "great recruiter"

I guess you are excluding transfers
slatecoug
2/22/18 11:53am
I agree it got even worse under Kilani, who isn't cut out for the job and whose teams struggled with BM recruits

2/22/18 12:25pm
Uh, no. Bronco didn't seek leaving BYU, he was approached by UVA reps.

Lavell is a legend and always will be.
Mr. Scoobs
2/22/18 1:53pm
True, but LaVell should have retired five years earlier.
Brisco
2/22/18 3:18pm
So Lavell should have retired after the 95 season?
