Kalani has earned my undying fandom. I was apprehensive after his first few
years. Concerned by a lack of organizational oversight, baffling losses to inferior programs, inconsistency, aimless recruiting strategies, etc. When I started to get the sense of loyalty that he had developed amongst his players and coaching staff, I started to give him the benefit of the doubt. Then he strung together a few impressive seasons, some shocking upsets, some fun bowl games, some NFL-worthy developed players, and a tide-turning experience during the apocalypse COVID season when no one else wanted to play.

We played our way into one of the 4 big conferences, and now we have beaten Utah two times in a row and are an undefeated team with our eyes on the biggest prize in college football. We were projected to be the bottom feeders of the Big 12, struggling to get bowl eligible, and we have flipped that script. We have done it Kalani’s way: “Love and Learn.” What else could you ask from your head coach at BYU?

He is not perfect, but neither was Edwards or Mendenhall or any coach ever. But after that post game speech he delivered where he could have spiked the football, he chose to stick to his ethos and continue to preach the good word. That is what I want from the head coach of BYU.

I love Kalani Sitaki. He has earned his way onto the all time greats list of BYU coaching, and I will fist fight anyone who wants to whine about his clock management or loyalty to a struggling coach or his blinky eyes after a loss and his go-to phrase of needing to look at the film. Kalani is our guy. True blue, through and through. He can be my coach as long as he wants, in my book.
