Don’t think there are many actual haters. Most fans with concerns about Kalani
were/are always hoping he will succeed. But their have been very valid concerns.

Look, he deserved all the criticism he got. He also deserves a ton of credit

He didn’t deserve for people to forget 2020 and 2021, but this season is proving those seasons weren’t a mirage.

2021 defensively was horrible. Look at the stats. Offense was historic great.

You can't blame a guy for hiring one person and not credit him for hiring

But you can blame him for holding on to his Buddy and tanking the D for 5 years too long

Exactly, so if you blame him for that you have to credit him for all the good

You just said the defense tanked for 5 seasons. I responded with a remark

Ok thanks. You know what I meant. The D underperformed & Tuiaki needed to go. Surprised you disagree with Sitake’s move

Kalani is a CEO. He gets credit for his staff.
