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

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

Ty Detmer was "thrown under the bus"?

LaVell & Bronco understood this.

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

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

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