Doug Robinson: A warm and weird sendoff for Bronco

Brigham Young Cougars head coach Bronco Mendenhall sheds a tear as senior players are honored prior to the game against Fresno in Provo Saturday, Nov. 21, 2015. BYU won 52-10.

Mendenhall jilted the Cougs, but it felt like a mutual breakup, didn’t it? An amicable separation. A let’s-still-be-friends-and-share-the-kids divorce.

What. Just. Happened?

Bronco Mendenhall jilts the Cougars and he’s all but given a parade as he leaves town.

They even held a press conference for him.

This is the way it’s supposed to work: The coach’s new employer gives the press conference, not his ex-employer.
