Mendenhall to UVA

Weird move for Bronco. Surely he's turned down much better jobs over the years, must have worn out his welcome in Provo.

Script says Sark to BYU

Should work out great for Sark... plenty of Mormon girls for him to PIITB.
 
GODDAMMIT CAL CAN'T CATCH A BREAK HERE

It's always Sonny in Berkeley!

Twitter sleuthing du jour: local sports beat writers trying to confirm whether or not Dykes was actually at practice today. I was hoping he'd gone on a Sarktastic bender at last night's awards banquet after finding his true market value this week.

Script says Sark to BYU

I know your being sarkastic but I have a better shot at getting hired as the next BYU corch than Sark does
 
I don't get that move at all. How bad did he want to get out of BYU? Maybe he feels unless your Notre Dame, independents have no chance of being in the playoffs and he wants to start the stepping stone process of getting there, but again Virginia??????
 
On the surface a very strange move ...

On the other hand, what is BYU at this point?

They made the decision to go independent but have essentially ZERO chance of getting to a high level bowl as they stand. I'd imagine that Bronco looked at the program and figured he got it about as far as he could get it.

When you look at UVA, it's a very good school with a reasonable recruiting base to pull from. He's a successful coach and his track record is definitely better than that of Fuente at VTech. No reason to think that he can't be remotely successful at UVA.

If anything, what this move tells you is that people that have aspirations need challenges. Bronco was probably safe at BYU as long as he kept doing what he was doing. Not too much to argue with. But he knew he maximized his potential. So instead of being comfortable he looked to push his bounds. Honestly, that's what you want to see out of a coach. It's what you saw with Petersen when he realized he maximized what he could do at Boise and went to Uw.
 
UVA sucks at football. Always has. Always will. Success there is 6-6 with a bowl and no negative attention on Mr. Jefferson.
 
With his background in the lana esirprus, Bronco should be able to show Tony Bennett some new sexy back tricks.

 
I think Niumatololo's son is on the BYU roster, but his style of football is not for everyone.

Darrell Bevell is a Super Bowl winning coordinator! (please)

Would Wittingham make the move?
