He doesn't throw his coaches under the bus? Ummm....Ty Detmer?

Well your entire first paragraph is incorrect- if you want to look at how he

They did Ty Dirty

And Ty's been nothing but "honorable" & "gracious" towards BYU.

I was lucky enough to be around the program at that time... Ty was not 'Done Dirty'

Firing a coach doesn’t mean throwing them under the bus

As I posted above, he deserved to be let go. But how he publicly treated him

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,"

Socrates Johnson

Ty Detmer was "thrown under the bus"?

Plantagenet

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

They gave Detmer a job that wasn’t ready for…instead of grooming him slowly up

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

Aug 23, 12:30pm

2017 fits in the pattern, too. 3 out of 8 seasons marked by implosion. That's

most high school programs worth anything don't stand for showing up late for meetings.

I dunno that the program has the guts to bench a star player for being late right now. It's tough

It's all about establishing the culture up front and knowing that certain

right. I agree that is the way to do it. Bench them. "My team is on the floor."

BYU is not a serious football program

CameronG

Aug 23, 9:47am

LaVell & Bronco understood this.

gopman

Aug 23, 9:50am

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

Aug 23, 10:00am

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

gopman

Aug 23, 10:01am

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

CameronG

Which amounts to pressure that he did not like

Todays college football is not the same as it was 5 years ago.

100%. With NIL & portal Id much rather coach G5 and even that sounds exhausting.

He doesn't mind pressure. But he will NOT be told what to do. That's why he left BYU and UVA. Tangentially related to

Bronco definitely has flaws and I think it was probably his time to go, but he’s a far better head coach. Both of them

Was that game before or after the disaster Slip and slide game at home? Talk about not learning from mistakes

It was Batty - he was wearing a mic during the pre-game warmup and made that comment.
