Hoos Football Season 2022: A New Era

Yes but it does not guarantee wins. Look at the early Al Groh years.

Reminds me, my buddy and I once met a young American guy in a hostel in central America who had a flesh eating bacterial infection who said there was “nothing Western medicine could do” for him. We were like “… Are you sure? Should you maybe double check?”

No where near the same but for what it’s worth 2021 Uper Bowl winning rams averaged 27.7 ppg through 4 weeks in 22 they avg. 17.7 ppg. And Sean Mcvay is supposed to a genius changing the game

Point being things can change quickly in football and maintaining an ege is extremely difficult.

This part I don’t agree with. Why is quitting last December and sitting out unpaid for a year or 2 then getting another job somehow better than seeing what he had coming back and the upcoming schedule and just staying one more year, fixing the defense either with new coaches or taking over himself and betting on winning 9-10 games and parlaying that into a bigger job after this season?

He was pressured to make staff changes and he didn’t want to, so he quit.

I’d be more okay with it if he didn’t walk away and give this song and dance about needing time to be with family and recharge and I don’t know if I want to coach… It’s the same thing we hear from Urban Meyer and as soon as a big name knocks on the door they suddenly have had enough family time and are ready to get back in the game.

You think it’s a coincidence That no one hears from him for 9 months and 3 weeks before the kick of the season he does a long form interview with ESPN, and a 2 weeks into the season he drops a podcast?

Go down with the ship, you build the damn thing.

Which makes no sense to me. He didn’t want to fire 1 or 2 coaches so instead he quit and in effect fired the entire staff?

I tend to think Bronco was mostly having an “F this”** moment, based on multiple factors, (bad end to the season, an epic “what the what who now?” brain fart at the end of VPI, likely pressure to change things on defense, 2+ years of new rules/procedures, no meaningful progress on the facility) rather than responding to any one thing.

** And I get it! We all have those moments. I tend to think his departure word salad was Bronco-speak for “F this, I’m going home”.

No one ever said the man was logical. My conspiracy theorist tells me, his agent told him he’d be first call if the Nebraska job became available, and we all knew it would just not after week 3, and it would be best for his coaching rep to not take any more hits, so he made up an excuse and bailed.

On second thought, you probably nailed what really happened.

Might be a hot take but I don’t think we can get into a fully truthful discussion on Bronco leaving over firing Howell (and maybe other defensive assistants) without talking about the LDS aspect. And I’m not sure that’s the sort of topic that can be touched on respectfully on a sports message board.

Latter Day Saints. The Mormon church. Charlottesville is not a bad place for the other one though.
