Bronco Mendenhall, Head 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 Brigham Young University on December 13, 2004 by University President Dr. Cecil O. Samuelson.
Since that time, Mendenhall (40) 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.
In his first season, Mendenhall took a program that had not enjoyed a winning season since 2001 and compiled a 6-5 regular-season record, a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference standings and earned a trip to a bowl game for the first time in three seasons.
"We are excited to represent the Mountain West Conference in a bowl game," Mendenhall said at the end of the 2005 season. "But, we want to come back next year as conference champions."
Building on the success of his first-ever season as a head coach, Mendenhall and the Cougars posted a 10-2 record in 2006, winning the outright Mountain West Conference Championship with a perfect 8-0 record. As a result, BYU returned to the Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl to represent the MWC-this time, as conference champions.
Along the way, BYU climbed the national polls by winning nine straight games to finish the regular season. As a result, the Cougars earned top-20 rankings in the Associated Press Top-25, the USA Today Coaches Poll, the Harris Interactive Poll and the BCS rankings. The Cougars' nine-game win streak was the third longest in the country and marked only the seventh time in BYU football history the Cougars had recorded at least nine consecutive wins in a single season.
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 one of nine finalists for the prestigious Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.
Under Mendenhall's direction, the Cougars led the MWC and ranked fourth in the nation in passing offense, averaging 319.3 yards per game. The Cougars also led the league and ranked fifth in the country in total offense, producing an average 458.6 yards per contest. BYU also led the Mountain West and ranked sixth nationally in scoring offense, averaging 36.7 points per game. The BYU offense finished the regular season ranked second nationally in passing efficiency, posting a rating of 171.16.
Defensively, the Cougars ranked fourth nationally and led the league in turnover margin, averaging 1.17 turnovers per game. BYU also made tremendous strides defensively, ranking 19th in the nation in pass efficiency defense (107.84) and 16th nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 15.3 points per game.
BYU outscored its opponents during the season by an average 36.7 to 15.3 (+21.4). More impressively, the Cougars posted 138 first-quarter points and held opponents to just 15 points in the opening quarter of play throughout the season.
From his first day as a head coach, Mendenhall stressed the importance of winning at home. After finishing 3-3 in Provo last season, Mendenhall and the Cougars registered a perfect 6-0 record at home in 2006. Not only did BYU win each of its home games, it did so in record fashion. Not only did the 2006 Cougars finish the season as the most dominate team in the nation, but also they finished as the most dominate home team in BYU Football history. BYU averaged 47.2 points per game at LaVell Edwards Stadium while holding opponents to just 12.0 points per contest. The +35.16 margin not only led the nation in home scoring margin, but also set a new BYU record, eclipsing the old mark of +34.2 set in 1979. LSU finished the season behind the Cougars in 2006, posting a +31.9 home-field scoring margin.
In his first season, the Cougars finished second in the Mountain West Conference with a 5-3 record. Mendenhall and his staff coached an offense reminiscent of BYU's glory days, ranking second in the MWC in scoring and sixth in the nation in passing.
During his first season in Provo, Mendenhall engineered the nation's 14th-ranked defense, holding opponents to just 307 yards per game. Under Mendenhall's direction, the Cougars ranked eighth nationally in passing defense, giving up just 176.17 yards per game.
A native of Alpine, Utah, Mendenhall began his coaching career as a graduate assistant in 1989 at his alma mater, Oregon State. After earning his master's degree in 1990, he moved to Snow College in Ephraim, Utah, where he served as the secondary coach and defensive coordinator from 1991-92 under current BYU assistant coach Paul Tidwell. Following two seasons with the Badgers, Mendenhall became the secondary coach at Northern Arizona, where the Lumberjacks boasted the top-ranked defense in the Big Sky Conference. He was elevated to co-defensive coordinator for the 1994 season.
In 1995, Mendenhall returned to Oregon State to become the defensive line coach under then defensive coordinator Rocky Long. When Long left to become the defensive coordinator at UCLA, Mendenhall was promoted to defensive coordinator for the 1996 season. At just 29 years of age, Mendenhall was the youngest defensive coordinator in Pac-10 history.
In 1997, Mendenhall became the secondary coach at Louisiana Tech where he helped the Bulldogs to a remarkable 9-2 record as his defensive unit was credited with 17 interceptions, allowing just 15 touchdowns on the season.
In 1998, Mendenhall moved to Albuquerque, N.M., to become the defensive coordinator and secondary coach at the University of New Mexico. Over the next five seasons, the Lobos improved from just three wins in 1998 to seven wins and an invitation to the Las Vegas Bowl in 2002. In the Lobos' 27-13 loss against UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl, the Mendenhall-led defense held the Bruins to a season-low 167 yards.
Under Mendenhall, the Lobos led the Mountain West Conference in rushing defense for three straight seasons. In 2001, New Mexico gave up just 87.4 yards per game over the season. In his final season in Albuquerque, Mendenhall led the Lobos to a top ranking against league opponents in total defense, allowing just 316.4 yards per game. The Lobos also led the MWC in sacks in both the 2000 and 2002 season, totaling 46 and 38, respectively.
At New Mexico, Mendenhall played a valuable role in the development of the 1999 Mountain West Player of the Year, Consensus All-American and first-round NFL Draft pick Brian Urlacher. The ninth overall selection in the 2000 NFL Draft, Urlacher was voted the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year and was a Pro Bowl selection. Urlacher was one of two rookies to play all 16 games, starting at middle linebacker the final 14 games to establish a team record for starts at the position by a rookie. He shattered Bears rookie records with 165 total tackles and eight sacks, making him the second Chicago first-year player to lead the team in tackles. Urlacher finished his collegiate career ranked third on New Mexico's all-time list with 442 tackles.
As a player, Mendenhall was a two-year starter at cornerback for Snow College from 1984-85. In his second season, Mendenhall captained the Badgers to a perfect 11-0 record and the NJCAA National Championship. That same season, he earned many accolades, including first-team all-conference, all-region, second-team NJCAA All-America and JC Gridwire Academic All-America honors.
Mendenhall transferred to Oregon State and was a two-year starter, playing free safety, strong safety and linebacker for the Beavers. Mendenhall was a team captain as a senior and received the Leo Gribkoff Memorial Award, given to the team's most inspirational player.
Mendenhall was raised in Alpine, Utah, and graduated from American Fork High School in 1984. He received a bachelor's degree in education from Oregon State in 1988 and a master's degree in education with an emphasis in exercise physiology also from OSU in 1990.
His older brother, Mat, played football at BYU from 1975-79, before spending four years in the NFL with the Washington Redskins. Another brother, Marty, was a former Mr. Utah bodybuilder. Mendenhall's father, Paul, was a defensive end at BYU from 1953-54.
Mendenhall, who resides in Alpine, Utah, is married to Holly Johnston of Missoula, Mont. The couple have three sons: Cutter, Breaker and Raeder.
