I don't always like PK, but have to say he's nailed it in this article.



Paternal Pride. Not so much favoritism, though it really starts to look like that given the no practice and play M.O. The last two games.

Going back almost 40 years, coaches and former teammates of Mendenhall willingly say he maximized his talents. In simpler terms, he was an overachiever, the type to run through the proverbial wall if necessary.



Nelson is a clone of his coach, who can’t come up with enough superlatives to describe the player’s toughness and leadership abilities.

PK's been reading CC. I said this 2 weeks ago on this forum and several times before in conversation. Bronco sees himself in Reily. Two guys that BYU didn't want out of High School, they took their lumps and divergent paths and came back to rescue the program.



Bronco has to take a step back and really identify what is best for the program. Because regardless of his own success or failure, he can always mentor Reily Nelson. His stewardship over the BYU Football program, however is dependent on its continued strength under his watch. Strength that appears to be floundering--at least on offense.
