“Hey, lets throw it to an offensive lineman! KT, Jelani, Dontayvion, those guys kind of suck anyway.” - Bronco (probably)

Mitt Romney sent him crumpled pieces of paper with names on them. Whichever paper his horse ate was the name they chose

I wonder if I should sh** talk my players’ talent to the board of my school? Let me put that through the old brain machine and see what the algorithm spits out … [bleep blorp blurp bleep] It says “go for it!”

I’m surprised by the overwhelming negative sentiment towards Bronco. Took over a pathetic program and made us bowl eligible for 5 years in a row. Was promised facility upgrades when he took the job that he never got and yet still didn’t complain publicly about. He certainly had his own self-inflicted shortcomings (VT game last season is a good microcosm of those) but he was far better than London. And it seems like most everyone agrees that London was a good guy at least. Bronco is definitely a bit of an oddball so I guess that turns some people off.

Yeah, tbh, for me, my jokes here are mostly a reaction to reading years’ worth of UVa football content trying to paint Bronco’s oddball-ness as some sort of virtue.

Yeah read it, he’s definitely an odd duck (to say the least) but also seems like a pretty good guy and was far more successful than London so I don’t really have a negative view of him overall.

Painting extreme religiosity and being rich as “being an oddball” is lame and being a useful idiot to a guy like that is even more lame. It is easy to sell your ouvre as virtue when you make millions and go home to your horse farm every night.

I get it. I have zero opinion since I dont know the guy. I will say Coach London is a real Wahoo though. I understand it was a terrible stretch etc but he is friends with “guys like me” through years before him etc and guarantee he is all for Hoos football success
Imma guess Bronco wont be as much of a Hoo going forward

I don’t have a negative view of Bronco per se. Quirky guy with a quirky system. @BDragon tried to tell us that he wasn’t doing the program any favors. Bronco as HC was football purgatory. Take away convincing Bryce Perkins to transfer in and his tenure looks totally different.

Ok I guess I’ll trust the players that seemed to really like him. Doesn’t seem like extreme religiosity or richness ever resulted in some sort of problem. I too laugh at the praise for his “unique” approaches that really aren’t unique and that basically just produce 6-6/7-5 results, but his results were much better than London using largely the same resources (despite promises for upgrades) so overall I hold him in at least as high regard as I do London (who I think was in over his head but a really good guy)

Was he more successful than London? Yes, is that also just about the lowest bar you could possibly set? Yes. Mike London had 2 more victories coaching the Hoos his final season than I did. Bronco maintained a program on life support and had achieved mediocrity and tried to sell it to me as greatness. That’s my issue. He was a .500 coach and less than that in conference. Sure it’s better than the guy before him… but still sad. Combine that with his continued arrogance of wanting to be the smartest guy in the room because he did things differently, while maintaining a fake-humble persona and I can’t take it.
Even in that piece from ESPN it’s not accepting responsibility for the program he left or hell even how he left it. It’s I’m so smart I need to find the quirkiest way possible to quit the job I had so I can get to another opportunity but still still look like a good person.
There’s a lack of self-awareness when it comes to him that I always sensed.

NAILED it and said it way better than I have. Bronco is a Bryce Perkins away from being Mike London.

This program was Kansas level bad and now we’re not Kansas level bad. I count that as a wild success. Bronco has many many many flaws but he brought this program from the dregs of P5 and ended a horrifically embarassing streak. I’m glad we had him as coach. It’s time to move on but let’s not pretend that bringing this program to mediocrity from where it was wasn’t a feat in of itself.

I guess I fall into the camp that was content with Bronco as a coach and appreciate he got the program to the point we could attract Tony Elliott BUT also find his weak attempts at cloaking arrogance as humility very annoying. And this article is basically a puff piece on that faux humility so of course the reaction is going to be negative.
