at least that is how someone who is critical gets labeled by some of the Cougar faithful. For someone who wants to say I am beating a dead horse, fine, but the fan base conflict is entertaining for me.
Back to criticisms.
Here are some of the criticisms I remember and Bronco standing firm in his decision creating a fan battle.
Not running enough against SDSU. We aren't going to change was the comment and later we started running more.
We can't recruit good enough DB's to run the 3-3-5. We aren't going to change what has worked the previous years was the comment. We went to the 3-4.
Fans wanted recruiting to include more non-LDS and JC's. The pool was going to stay small. We started recruiting more non-LDS and JC's.
One of my favorites scheduling. We were going to follow the Hawaii model and get to a BCS game. We ended up scheduling Oklahoma.
We practice hard enough. Fans who complain get ripped. Players I guess went to Bronco and wanted tougher practices. Practices are now tougher.
I will admit there is also a list of things fans may clamor for that haven't been done and is probably good they weren't.
My point is just because a fan thinks something different than the coach doesn't automatically mean it is idiotic.
It is also a reason I don't really listen to what Bronco says anymore, but watch what he does.
I think last night on the coaches show Wrubbell did a great job of reassuring Bronco most of the fans still like him, which we do.
I wish Art Director, Rise and Shout, Freddy Cougar, Mathew and other "defenders of the faith" were on this board to call me out.
