Can You Explain Coach Rose's Comment?

"The Tribune’s Kurt Kragthorpe noted that never before has BYU’s football and basketball programs been ranked so highly at the same time. The Cougar gridders finished No. 12 in both polls.



“I believe that just being able to coach in the same department with Bronco [Mendenhall] has really helped us,” Rose said. “The fact that how he runs his program, and how he holds his players accountable, and the expectations that they have, it really helps us and what we want to do with our guys.”"

Sounds pretty clear. Bronco runs a good, clean program and is successful. He has "Raised the Bar" with a "Band of Brothers" who are difinitely "Fully Invested" while on their "Quest". It is a good example to follow.

Quoted for truth.

It might raise all boats, but, having lived near the coast of Florida for many years, the incoming tide also brings in a lot of nasty flotsam and jetsam. :whistle: :whistle:

Football and bball are the two major sports. If one is doing well the other wants to emulate it.

Kind of like when all of a sudden Florida's b-ball team was relevant when for years they were a distant second to b-ball. Interesting that since oscar went there that the cooperative seems to be diminishing though.

I think it's embracing what's uniquely BYU and bringing in players who want to be part of that environment.

Man, could you ask for a better tandem of head coaches at BYU?

Since Steed is not here to elaborate, I'll explain it to you. Bronco is racist and because of that Rose and his players like to make baskets and BYU basketball was ranked #2 a few decades ago but that is old hat and I'm not a Utah fan but I do have a big pink U painted on the side of my pre-owned prius.



Does that straighten it out for ya? ;)
