BYU will pay better, there will be more.

That was my point. There hasn’t been much of a tree from him or Bronco. Edwards had a huge one.

What does Holmoe do if Hill becomes so good that he is getting

Back up a brinks truck to get him to stay.

Kalani and Jay Hill are very close friends. And head coaches that are winning

so without Jay Hill, where would we be?

I think he gave Hill full credit

It would not be 4-8. We have the 5-7 players with another year of

no, they would offer to pay him a lot of money to stay as DC

It will happen if we keep winning this year

Hill is very particular about where he wants to live. He passed up offers at

Morgan Scalley is not going anywhere. The only risk is that Whit retires,

I think the best hope is to pay him at or near HC compensation with a commitment

My hope is that he doesn’t want to uproot the family. He’s reportedly making

Agreed. Let's hope he doesn't take any coaches or players with him.

astroman

Why are some so quick to give Hill all the credit? Kalani is the current head coach.

RdF3

Sep 22, 11:40pm

Because the defense was mostly inept until he became defensive coordinator

I think u might want to check rankings of offenses. Ours has been pretty

People love to blame Kalani when things are bad, then give him no credit if

Because Hill's impact was apparent from day one post Tuaki. Yes, Kalani snagged

Hill was unimpressive year 1. Very impressive now.

I disagree that he was unimpressive. His results where unimpressive but he

The extra year of experience would deliver huge returns regardless of who

nobody is impressive when you lack talent and you install a brand new system

deliciousmocha

He failed in holding existing roster together and holding that recruiting class

Cougarbib

9:11am

If that’s your definition of failure I’ll take it. You don’t revamp a defense as bad as 2022 in one season.

Longhaul

10:02am

Actually, many do. Especially after a rebuilding season. They retain players,

Cougarbib

10:53am

This comment suggests you have no idea how bad it really was. Hill will prove to be what saves Kalani's job.

unctoothman

Sure.

Cougarbib

10:56am

There were signs last year of the defense hustling, making plays

Kalani is still overseeing everything from recruiting to strength and

Plus Hill is LDS and was right up the road. It was a no-brainer to offer him.

BlueFever

Not disparaging Sitake at all

TLCougar

Sep 22, 11:46pm

Maybe. And if he leaves we can start bragging about Kalani’s coaching tree

Cougarbib

2:13am

How many guys from Kalani's tree have left for a promotion?

CameronG

Grimes got a better job at the time. This would be a 2nd one. And now that

Cougarbib

9:18am

Considering success really only counts if the guy goes elsewhere and thrives, then right now it's at 0. Which seems low

unctoothman

11:04am

Our recruiting is turning around, and recruits, even defensive recruits

JOPE

Sep 22, 11:46pm

It only took ks eight years to start recruiting almost good enough. Extend him!

here's to hoping

1:46am

Can you break down why you expected Kalani to recruit like a P4 without being

Polecat

10:35am

I didn't expect him to recruit like a P4.

here's to hoping

11:28am

I posted above that it’s highly plausible that Kalani utilized Ed Lamb’s style

And any KS defender will try to assign blame else where but give KS props for

Excuses. Money isn't the issue. It's lack of effort from the staff

BYU isn't putting any more money into the program than what they already had.

U defeated your own argument. And boosters will be eating it up if the

Serious…. If you do not see the impact of Jay Hill, no need to try to explain

44C

Where have you been the last 8 years?

gopman

7:10am

KS doesn't even understand the basics of how the game is played.

Mitty

Just stop with nonsense like this.

HarlemCoug

You should delete this.

ebv

Why? Because you can't refute his point?

Are you suggesting that your football team is paying a guy $4M/yr to coach and that guy doesn't even understand the

Kalani gets the credit for the Hill hire, just as he gets the blame for all the bad hires. However, the credit for the

If we start having coaches leave because this is place leads to promotions, then we attract better talent

Let’s have a winning record in conference first

Reasonable1

12:00am

Retire. Make Kalani AD. Promote Jay Hill to HC

Dr MoBYU

12:00am

I actually think KS would be a really good AD. But he wouldn't make $4M/yr...

YankeeCoug

11:56am

Probably he’s set by now. I’d hope and he could ride off into the sunset.

Dr MoBYU

12:30pm

Why do people get their undies in a bunch worrying about dumb things they can't control?

ManicBlue

12:03am

You mean like football games that you aren't playing in?

cougarfann888

You get your undies in a bunch over those too? Wow, I'll bet you can relly hit the high notes. How's your BP?

The hope would be that a) we keep Hill as DC & then b) Kalani realizes

How about the Dude just had a heart attack, we know nothing about his family situation with wife and kids and relatives

DJROSS

7:15am

Agree. Edwards was not highly paid and stayed until he was done coaching.

Cougarbib

9:19am

People are saying Kalani has no coaching tree if he goes then that is good

nbruin

7:39am

What happens next year when Scalley hires Hill as his DC?

CrimsonCardinal

7:55am

Then Hill would keep his spot as next BYU HC. Might even accelerate the timeline

This is probably the correct answer.

The days of u outbidding Y for coaches is now over.

Hill will get high paying offers. It’s gonna be a problem.

Idacoug

How much will his recent health issue play into that?

Jay Hill has already been a HC and completely turned around a program that had

You do what Utah did with their next head coach you keep him

KYU

We lose Hill. The better Hill does, the more untouchable Sitake becomes.

CougarMandias

This is the truth.

shimmy

Don't be afraid of success

refunder

We just pay Hill more than Sitake.

Tasty Bacon

9:21am

It happens in the business and government world. Sales commission can be more

wildwilderness

That's what he SHOULD do, but probably won't, and we'll lose Hill.

Retire and let it be somebody else's problem.

Why does everyone forget that earlier this year, when Hill was still recovering,

Threw and Through

11:12am

I have been very critical of KS…he is extremely reliant on his assistant coaches

SoggyBB

12:26pm

We are going to lose Hill--sooner, rather than later. He will get a good head

Plantagenet

12:56pm

Kalani Sitake is accountable for BYU's record. For better or worse. Absurd to credit Hill for the wins, not losses.

roseyscenario

1:03pm

We lost the last 5 games of last season. Exactly zero of those losses are the fault of Hill for some reason. Apparently

HarlemCoug

Each is responsible for their job description. Hill is doing a great job.

if this were true then Hill would be getting much more heat for 2023.
