Washington State and Oregon State going to play each other 12 times?

9 times. They'll still have ooc.

They're probably moving to an eight game conf season to balance out...

I wasn't sure about that, that may save him from going down there.

RC Vikings

He wasn’t lying. It’s just that usu presented an incredible opportunity too amazing for him to be able to pass up.

Lol no way that UNM to USU is a lateral move

Yeah, definitely a step down

He's leaving the Nin9tyNin9 to go after the one.

How is it in worse shape?

Rusty Crab Daddy

Sounds like players are leaving and the Mountain West is in shambles.

TheLost

12/6/24 8:24am

So the same shape as when he got there.

Ghost of Peanut

12/6/24 8:41am

He had nothing to do w/ conference mess. Naturally NM is not getting picked up by PAC.

Soupie

12/6/24 8:51am

Yes.. but his job was to bring in players, and turn the program around so that someday they might move up.

New Methico probably could have joined the new Pac if they wanted to.

He gave them the most wins in a season this year since 2016. They can't be that angry

That is what I was thinking.

Rusty Crab Daddy

His job was to rebuild... he rebuilt nothing.

TheLost

UNM is dead man walking, that has nothing to do with Broncos coaching

12/6/24 8:57am

Yeah, so he left them exactly how he found them.

CPAcoug87

I do feel bad for them though. We kind of got the same with Pope, though he did

Polecat

He left us behind for an offer he couldn’t refuse in a better place.

I thought you meant Pope left BYU worse than it was before he arrived, which I

Not for lack of trying, though

Ah yes. USU is to FB what Kentucky is to Bball. 🙄

Bronco and his fans would have been better off not creating the “Bronco just likes fixing broken programs” campaign. It

Imagine being such a bottom feeder that your coach gets poached by USU

No fan base would be happy with this. Most aren't happy when a long time coach

Yes.. but its fun to watch the Bronco fanboys of CB defend his actions.

The reason UNM is so mad is he did improve the program and show potential. More

AD left and many conference teams bolted for the PAC — material changes

I kind of agree. I love/respect Bronco but I think leaving UMN is super lame.

Ok, so you’re saying Bronco feels the same about UNM as everyone else in the

reminds me of when Urban Meyer said he was taking the Florida job

aaronmania

12/6/24 11:06am

The UNM Bronco hired on at, us not the same UNM today. MWC fell apart, AD left. Smart move on Bronco’s part.

UMWolverine

12/6/24 11:07am

So he committed to an AD and not school, kids, parents, and coaches? It's lame.

gocougs719

So you get hired at a company, the corporation blows up and is of less value, and the boss who recruited and hired you

He wanted a turnaround. Brought his own coaches and made commitments to families

Yeah unm should have bigger gripes with Beck then bronco

runnincoug

So Beck could leave tomorrow instead of today? Unless the new coach is keeping him (no guarantee) he’s smart to leave

Beck already left. Up on Utah's website.
