Dear Search Committee,
We know you met with Bronco Mendenhall in the last couple of days. We also know his agent is saying he's the lead candidate.
Friends (of Stanford football) don't let friends (YOU) hire awesome human beings who are mediocre football coaches.
This is a raw feed from a significant BYU booster whose brothers-in-law played for Mendenhall says it all:
" I know him personally. I’ve had two brothers-in-law play for him. He is truly one of the greatest human beings on the planet. Don’t hire him.
Here’s the thing… He literally starts every single training camp with the exact same speech. And part of that speech goes… 'Winning isn’t the most important thing. It’s not even in the top three.' What he has to say after that is 100% accurate in life in general. It all has to do with being a great human being. Truth.
But if you are my football coach, that’s the last thing I want coming out of your mouth Both of my brothers-in-law about five years apart came to me and told me the same story right after it happened and they were in shock. No. Killer. Instinct.
But honestly, he is a GREAT guy [but doesn't realize] These two things are not mutually exclusive. I could be a really good human being and also go 12-0. And that’s what we should all be shooting for. Otherwise, All you’re doing is creating an excuse right out of the gate. It’s stupid."
