Director
Bronco Mendenhall, Head Football Coach

After 16 seasons as an assistant coach, including two years as the defensive coordinator for the Cougars, Bronco Mendenhall was named the 14th head football coach at BYU on December 13, 2004.

Since that time, Mendenhall has held fast to the vision of restoring BYU to national prominence by requiring a higher level of commitment on and off the field through accountability, effort and discipline. Equally significant in the restoration process, Mendenhall has emphasized the importance of honoring the coaches and players who have established a proud football tradition at BYU–a program of national prominence. Finally, by implementing a mission statement that outlines core values, Mendenhall has turned the tide at BYU by embracing tradition, spirit, and honor.

Concluding his third season as the head coach at BYU, Mendenhall has taken a program that had not enjoyed a winning season since 2001 and has turned it back into the Mountain West Conference’s premier football program and is steadily rebuilding the national prominence the Cougars once enjoyed. Mendenhall’s Cougars have won 21 of their last 25 games over the past two seasons, including back-to-back, 10-win seasons, and claimed consecutive MWC titles with a combined record of 16-0 against league opponents. Under his direction, the Cougars have not lost a league game–at home or on the road–in two years and have finished the regular season ranked among the nation’s top 20 programs in the Bowl Championship Series standings.

With an invitation to attend the 2007 Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl, Mendenhall became the first coach in BYU football history to take a team to a bowl game in three straight seasons during his first three years as a head coach. On November 17, 2007, Mendenhall led the Cougars to a 35-10 victory over Wyoming to record his 25th career win. With that victory, Mendenhall became the only coach in BYU football history to win 25 games in his first 35 attempts.

Following the 2006 season, Mendenhall was named the American Football Coaches Association Region IV Coach of the Year. In addition, Mendenhall was named by the Football Writers Association of America as one of nine finalists for the prestigious Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.

In 2007, the Cougars won the final nine games of the season, and like the previous year, garnered the attention of local, regional, and national voters. BYU finished the regular season ranked No. 17 in the final BCS standings–three places higher than the 2006 Cougars.

Like the 2006 season, BYU ranked among the nation’s leaders in several statistical categories. The Cougars led the MWC and ranked 13th in passing offense, averaging 304 yards per game. The Cougars also led the league and ranked 15th in total offense, averaging 457.6 yards per game.

Defensively, the Cougars ranked 10th nationally in total defense, allowing just 307.2 yards per game. During the season, the Cougars did not allow a single 100-yard rusher and held teams to an average 92.1 yards rushing per game to rank 9th in the nation. One of Mendenhall’s jobs as the head coach and defensive coordinator is to manage points. Defensively, BYU ranked 13th in the nation, allowing just 18.8 points per game.

From his first day as a head coach, Mendenhall has stressed the importance of winning at home. After finishing 3-3 in Provo during the 2005 season, Mendenhall and the Cougars registered a perfect 6-0 record at home in 2006 and another perfect 6-0 mark in 2007. In 2006, the Cougars finished the season as the most dominant home team in the country and in BYU football history, winning games by an average 35.16 points per game. In 2007, the Cougars outscored opponents at Edwards Stadium by an average 17.3 points per game. BYU allowed just 11.3 points per game, marking the best scoring defense effort since the 1988 season when BYU held opponents to just 10.2 points per game.
