The heck you talking about? I seems Stevenson put a lot of thought into his open letter to Bronco. And, frankly, he was a breath of fresh air and a blast furnace of truth all in one. People are sick of the dwindling returns, sick of the excuses, sick of the fact that Bronco's best team to date was in 2006 with Crowton players, sick of getting slapped around over and over again by Utah. It used to be that Bronco would lose a lot of the big games but would at least win the ones he was supposed to win. Over the last 5 years he's repeatedly not even done that. Somebody needed to say it - in just that way - and I'm glad Stevenson had the balls to do it.I like Hans, I think he is fair. I don't live in the SLC market but I follow him on twitter. While reporting about Utah he tells it like it is most the time. He doesn't tell it like a former Byu player. Hans is very loyal to Byu and has been very protective and fair recently regarding Bronco and the state of the program. He's the opposite of Derik Stevenson who talks before he thinks, thinks his opinion is the only right one and stokes the fire on all the things going wrong....all in the name of loyalty.
We need more Hans types in the SLC media.

Sure thing, Bib, err ND. I believe you. Lets say it this way, while there have been a lot of former Bronco players to come out in support of him, not a single former Bronco player has ever come out against him as the head coach, and it seems like now would really be the time to do so.Not true, I personally know players that are not big fans of his. They are nice and have some positive things to say but they are not close to BM.Not a single player who has played under Bronco has ever even hinted that Bronco isn't the best coach for this team or that he acts like a bishop or mission president. These are fan fantasies.
I know two former BM players who like him but have both said he is not a father figure type guy. He is not close to the players and those he is close with are generally defensive guys. He says he has an open door but he does not. One player specifically told me he had a handful of 1x1 conversations with BM in 4 years, he is player you would all know and played defense. He did not say it in a bad way but just that BM was not close with players. Lavell was and he had those relationships and BM does not.
KVN may be an example of the opposite end of things, but that is the exception not the norm.
BM is not a big time motivator, he is steady eddie, that is why we come out flat so often. Players I know don't dislike him but he is not a guy they would run through a wall for. The feedback was he was uninterested in relationships with players and they were often frustrated because he did not work like other coaches do, he did not sit down 1x1 with players to coach and help, he left early to go home with family (hard to fault him but tough when other coaches put in the time).
Maybe BM should act like a Bishop and get to know his players.

This is literally true for every coach in the nation.They way Bronco coaches is fine when you win, but is exemplified when you lose.
