Best value for coach

[vancouvercougar]

Just watching ESPN, and they list Bronco as # 1 for value as a head coach. They state a salary of $650,000 (which is a true bargain if you figure dollars per victory).

They also said that he's lead the Cougars to 4 straight bowl games. I guess the first one didn't cont...

Bronco needs a raise.

I'm pretty sure that he gets paid more than that now. BYU doesn't disclose salaries, so most of it is just rumor. I heard that he was making around $1,000,000 now.

My guess is that most of his salary comes from private boosters. He definitely deserves what he gets.

IMO Bronco has done more with what he has then anyone in the country. I was watching the utah BYU game again last night and the talent difference is astounding (I am able to watch it with an ubiased eye now that I know that BYU is going to win). If you look at BYU's defense, only Jan Jorgenson would see the field if on utah's dline. In the linebackers, only Jordon Pendleton would see the field, NONE of our secondary would see the field on utah's defense. The future, however, is looking good as soon as some of these recruits we are currently getting start playing.

I think you do Johnson, Rich, Clawson, Logan, and Denney a large disservice.

Part of that salary figure would be the radio shows and stuff like that.

Maybe if it weren't the truth. Take a look at thier counterparts on the ute team and ask yourself if those guys have near the size and/or speed of thier counterparts on the ute defense. I don't know the utes by name but utah's corners were in our recievers pockets all game, utah's linebackers were all over the place, utah's safeties were fast and smacking people all game. This years defense flat out does not have the athletic ability of the 2006 or 2007 defenses, especially at the linebacker position. The good news is, BYU has recruited some real speed for our defense for years to come.

Dline, sure. But BYU's LB core > Utah's LB core.
There isn't a yewt safety who would be better at BYU than Johnson has been the past two seasons when healthy.
And Brian Logan will be one of the very best in his position in the entire league next season. Wrubell thought he was this season as well.
