Jake Hatch says players started showing up late to meetings mid season

He absolutely threw Detmer under the bus. Many times during the season.

That was 10+ years ago. He doesn't do it now. He has improved. Let it go.

We don’t really know what his offense was. 2016 = decent. 2017 = terrible.

That's a good story based on a lot of assumptions, a little bit of "evidence,"

Ty Detmer was "thrown under the bus"?

Don’t think any disputes Ty should have been let go. KS didn’t act

It’s a pattern. KS loses the team mid season with a long losing streak.

BYU is not a serious football program

CameronG

LaVell & Bronco understood this.

gopman

And why Bronco now coaches at a low level G5 school.. so he doesn't have to deal with 'serious football'

TheLost

Bronco doesn't like pressure, that's why he's at where he's at

CameronG

My understanding was UVA wanted to keep Bronco but let most of his staff go.

gopman

Yeah Bronco's loyalty to Nick Howell in particular is something

To be fair, it was only a few years ago, that he had all of Broncos players out of the program. He still needs time
