Bronco a Bruin?


BYU will face the UCLA Bruins December the 23rd in the Las Vegas Bowl. Recently UCLA officials confirmed that Bronco would be a candidate for their vacant head coach position. Bronco has yet to comment.
BYU's head coach has led his team to a 21-4 record over the past two seasons, and two top 20 finishes. He has led his team to three straight bowl appearances after the Cougars had missed out the previous three seasons.
He turned the program around after it had suffered three straight losing seasons, as well as off-the-field troubles. He has restored much of the passion, excitement, and winning tradition that Lavell Edwards brought.
This is the first time that he has openly been contacted about being a candidate for a new position. There may have been behind closed doors comments previously, but this one has been relayed through many media outlets. Some BYU fans have become anxious at the thought of him leaving, but many are not because he has said many times that he is committed to BYU and will coach here as long as he is allowed. His players and staff all preach of his greatness to be a man of his word. But the question still has to linger: What is Bronco's dream job? All coaches seem to have a dream job that they would take no matter what they have said, and regardless of the current circumstances. In Bronco's terms, How committed is he to BYU?
