What's your explanation for the fact that he was ranked top 10 in '96 and this:

It hasn't been just a "couple" games

This. The record since 2010 is simply unacceptable.

BYU lost 15 games while Derik was there

Freddie Cougar

He also beat Utah multiple times, had a great 96 season,

It's not a couple games. It's 5 seasons of mediocrity. The reason I supported

Yep. In the years following Bronco's hire, there were often comparisons to KWhit

It isn't just the loses under Bronco, it is the culture, stagnation, lack of

BYU lost twice to Utah while Derik was there

Freddie Cougar

Bronco has lost to Utah 6 times, won 3.

slowhiteguy

10/24/14 10:32am

They also beat Utah, something Bronco hasn't done as an Independent

Your sig is funny. How arrogant do you have to be to claim "the system is

It's essentially the same thing as saying "it looks good on paper, but

Lavell is very grateful that the internet wasn't as important then

On Cougartalk there were plenty of posters calling for Lavell's head

Freddie Cougar

I like that he takes credit for building the bldgs at byu pointing out bronco's

SUAVO

10/24/14 10:21am

It's a good point

SoCalCoug

they are also a direct result of the contractors, the church

SUAVO

10/24/14 10:28am

It's a ridiculous point

Freddie Cougar

10/24/14 10:30am

About half of his rant was legit and the other half was just plain stupid

You are attacking a straw man

donnerstag

in state schools were terrible in the Lavell years

binghammer

10/24/14 10:27am

BYU stole all of the recruits.

thebruce

Utah and Utah State aren't exactly juggernauts these days either

donnerstag

10/24/14 10:32am

Both programs have had more success in recent years than ever before

binghammer

10/24/14 10:33am

he was ok with it because in between the two seasons you mention

thebruce

10/24/14 10:27am

So if Bronco has a 12-1 season next year all will be forgiven?

Freddie Cougar

10/24/14 10:31am

i forgot bronco won a NC in the past
