Bronco Mendenhall returns to Provo this weekend, as head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers. This will be his first official trip back to Provo since he left the program following the 2015 season.
BYU fans should be grateful to Mendenhall for his time with the Cougars. He ushered in a new era that BYU is still benefitting from to this day. He took over a program that had gone 14-21 in the final three seasons of the Gary Crowton era. He instantly turned the Cougars into a winner, going to a bowl game in his first year and then rattling off four straight double-digit win seasons including two Mountain West titles.
