were very good conferences. In the 80s' outside of an occasional Air Force, CSU most of the WAC teams were pretty horrible, consistently. So is not Lavell's record not somewhat inflated by weak conference games?

If you are going to criticize Bronco's 11-2 seasons for that reason, then you have to criticize all of Lavell's seasons for the same reason.

Nick Vigil had 16 carries for 57 yards. 3.6 yards a carry.

Comparing Bronco to Lavell drives me nuts. Lavell built the program, won a NC and had some fantastic seasons.

If Cougar Board were around in the 80's and 90's Lavell would have endured the

Again, Lavell had taken the program from nothing to a NC team. He earned the patience. Bronco has not.

Nope. Lavell won a NC. That gives him a very long leash, period. Some fans

I think that at the end the game may have passed him up. That happens to coaches
