Funny story, he changed his name from just Larry Echo to Larry EchoHawk after reading my hilarious and insightful posts.

I knew there was a connection....I suppose Dick Butkus changed his name from Dick Kus to Dick Butkus after reading Cornhole's missives ;)

Bend over if you don't see where The Holester is headed with his two related threads. In case you are all totally unaware, especially early on, Lavell Edwards was known for developing young coaches that usually moved upward and onward and did not have many misfires. Later, Edwards began to be perceived as one who kept stale coaches around forever.



Bronco has not yet proven himself to be a good judge of coaching talent - ezpecially on offense as of late.



IDK if he deserves credit for Crowton hangovers that moved on like everyone's favorite OL coach or the defensive coach that was part of the UCLA Dream Team nightmare before flopping as head coach at NMSU.



Hole wants Bronco to bend over and take one for his suppisedly obvious inadeqacies.



OK HOLE - Bronco has not yet equalled the Legendary LaVell Edwards on every front. He still falls short of Bear Bryant in a few areas as well.



Sucks to be him - WAIT -



SUCKS TO BE YOU



Seriously

Whit has Anderson, and that is it.



He fired Lugwig, which was a mistake. Fired Schramm basically. And, I really can't think of any others. But that Brian Johnson hire was a stroke of genius. Ha!

Actually maybe it was caused by a stroke.
