Bronco has to build a winning team for next season. He has to be able to recruit the guys and fill the scholarships the way he wants. If you want to say he’s burning bridges by cutting some of the Utah recruits to add the Utah recruits he had committed at New Mexico, isn’t he having to chose to burn a bridge with some Utah high school coach either way?

Bad situation for all involved. But foreseeable and avoidable. We just shouldn’t have been signing people until the new coach was in place. Period.

Would you rather burn a bridge at Lone Peak or Bear River?

These names don’t mean anything to me… I have only lived in Utah the 2.5 years I attended USU. I take it Lone Peak is the bigger, better high school?

Yeah and it’s not even close.

LP has a lot of college players every year. Probably the second most after Corner Canyon in the state.

LP isn’t a school you want to piss ofc.

This will certainly boost recruiting at Skyridge and Corner Canyon though.

Is Rock Olsen still having his scholarship honored?

Yes. His dad played at BYU so he is safe. We are literally BYU-Logan at this point. I’m not sure what to think of the rest of the staff, the kids being told to transfer and bringing in the recruits and transfers from New Mexico.

Maybe we need a total reset, but this doesn’t feel like the Aggie way of doing things. Also, why are we paying $3M for a $2M staff. Couldn’t we go get some hot young coaches with that kind of cash?

When Bronco got the job it became his way of doing things.

The Aggie way got the DOJ on campus

So you’re right. It’s not the Aggie way. And I’m glad. It’s time for a shakeup.

So he even admits he does things not everyone understands, but his record speaks for itself, just be patient.

I promise the sky isn’t falling and we will be fine

How exactly did the Aggie way get the DOJ on campus?

It was the Title IX office and LCPD that got them here, not screwing over signees. It was the USUPD and a coach that couldn’t keep his mouth shut and follow protocol that kept them here.

I’m fine giving Bronco a lot of latitude, but there’s still a right and wrong way to do things and I’m fine calling ball’s and strikes on him. Reneging on this signing from a week ago is wrong.

I was here long before Bronco, we’ll see if I’m here after. I think we’ll find out soon enough that Bronco is eloquent and says all the right things, but will the results on the field be commensurate with the measures taken to get there? Maybe I need to go fence in 40 acres at a Montana ranch to understand.

At this rate, it’s 100% on Bronco to produce. He’s been given every resource imaginable. Salary, staff, roster, NIL, new conference, etc.

I’m in wait and see mode, are we up to 8 wins, 9 wins? Where do I get to draw the line of success next season?

Funny thing is, IMO, he doesn’t even say the right things.

All he can talk about is “changing lives” off the field and wanting to take the job to be closer to family.


Which aren’t really on my list for giving a sh*t about. How about he talks about wanting to win games more ?

I wasn’t there for the money. I just stole as much cheddar Chex mix as I could carry.

I can't imagine he would pull the offer without talking to the LP coaches first. He knows how to recruit in Utah. With the scholarship limit going to 105, I would have been willing to honor any of these offers but someone that looks good to us may not to the new staff. Maybe they want to move to a zone blocking scheme and he is not a fit for that (not that I know this just a reason they may not be willing to take him).

Depending on the type of “gun” it might be a different type of charge. I mean there was only one barroom in there. So many were holding thier guns waiting in line but yeah waving it could cause problems. On the upside you might get a gig with Florida’s page. But if not at least you got the Chex Mix.

Does the DOJ come cause of the "beyond football" stuff without any football problems? Were there enough problems with football alone for the DOJ to come?

Yes. The fact that Green was a football player brought media attention, but everything I’ve seen leads me to believe that the coaching staff had no knowledge of what was going on. The Title IX office and LCPD failed the victims which bright the DOJ.

Who you can also blame is the Cache County prosecutors office for continually declining to prosecute.

Is Rock Olsen still having his scholarship honored?

Yes. His dad played at BYU so he is safe. We are literally BYU-Logan at this point. I’m not sure what to think of the rest of the staff, the kids being told to transfer and bringing in the recruits and transfers from New Mexico.

Maybe we need a total reset, but this doesn’t feel like the Aggie way of doing things. Also, why are we paying $3M for a $2M staff. Couldn’t we go get some hot young coaches with that kind of cash?

When Bronco got the job it became his way of doing things.

The Aggie way got the DOJ on campus

So you’re right. It’s not the Aggie way. And I’m glad. It’s time for a shakeup.

So he even admits he does things not everyone understands, but his record speaks for itself, just be patient.

I promise the sky isn’t falling and we will be fine

There were many things beyond football that got the DOJ on campus.

I robbed Aggie station one too many times apparently

I hope Kip (long red beard guy 2010 times) wasn't working while you did. He was awesome.

I wasn’t there for the money. I just stole as much cheddar Chex mix as I could carry.

That's not robbery, that's shoplifting.

Even if I was waving a gun and yelling?

That's a different story. Now it's aggravated robbery.

See, I told you it was robbery!

Depending on the type of “gun” it might be a different type of charge. I mean there was only one barroom in there. So many were holding thier guns waiting in line but yeah waving it could cause problems. On the upside you might get a gig with Florida’s page. But if not at least you got the Chex Mix.

It was a Tommy gun and I fired it into the ceiling whilst yelling “My name is Hoot and I’m feeling ten feet tall!”

Sadly my moms basement flooded and the Chex mix was lost.

Were there any little old ladies in there when you robbed it? Did she call you baby face Hoot?

Speaking of George Nelson, have any of you read the plaque about Samuel Crowley in Old Main? He was the FBI agent that shot the real life Baby Face and was a graduate of UAC.

I did not know that. That’s very interesting.

Is Mendenhall supposed to ask permission from recruits high school coaches before he asks them to move on?
Is this the proper etiquette that all Head Coaches follow?

Permission? Obviously not. But generally a heads up is a courtesy extended to coaches at feeder schools and is just a good practice. There can be plenty of valid reasons to move on from him but not providing those is bad form and can hurt that relationship at a school that produces a lot of talent

Bronco has to build a winning team for next season. He has to be able to recruit the guys and fill the scholarships the way he wants. If you want to say he’s burning bridges by cutting some of the Utah recruits to add the Utah recruits he had committed at New Mexico, isn’t he having to chose to burn a bridge with some Utah high school coach either way?

Bad situation for all involved. But foreseeable and avoidable. We just shouldn’t have been signing people until the new coach was in place. Period.

Would you rather burn a bridge at Lone Peak or Bear River?

I highly doubt that this one move will burn a bridge with Lone Peak High School. His mother is a season ticket holder there.

You never know what may turn a coach off to your program. We had a head coach and a staff that was not allowed at Corner Canyon.

22 could you elaborate on this?

He is supposed to maintain good relationships with high school coaches that will likely be providing multiple future recruits to the program. This is proper etiquette that all head coaches should follow. Does the handling of this specific instance make you think the Lone Peak coach will be excited to continue working with Bronco and USU in the future?

I didn’t know for sure if that’s how everyone does it.

So who gets contacted first, the previous coach of the recruit by the new head coach of the school that offered them, so they can start making calls?

I may have missed this, but do we know for sure that the new staff hasn’t been in contact with the coaches? My apologies if that has already been verified.

If Bronco wants to recruit Utah like he has said he does, do you want to have a good relationship with local high school coaches or a bad one? Do you want them to encourage their players to sign with you or discourage them?

If course we want good relations with high school coaches.
I didn’t know that the coaches had so much influence on kids decisions where they play.
So does the new head coach of the recruit that was offered call his previous coach to tell them that the kid won’t fit into their plans, and they explain to them why?
Is this so the recruits previous coach can start making calls to other colleges to find a spot.

IMO this is the responsibility of the new coaching staff to help find these kids a spot if they are being asked to move on.

I have to disagree with this decision. How does this staff think they can go into Lone Peak and recruit their kids with a straight face after we just $hitcanned a 1st-team all-state kid with P4 offers?

100% agreed. Furthermore, after $hitcanning him, we're burning bridges with multiple people as you point out, which not only includes his family, but probably includes his friends, their parents, the LPHS coaching staff and potentially other coaching staffs when they find out that Utah State does not honor its commitments. And, furthermore, you would think that Bronco, being so superficial about integrity would want to maintain the university's "word" to maintain the university's integrity and image. Oh well.
