Polecat Intervention Needed

Statistics of at least 3 of those seasons wouldn’t match most people’s definition of tank. And 2020 is not one of those three I’m considering.

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.

I was/am a Kalani doubter. He is doing fantastic this year. I will forgive an inevitable let down.

Was Hill sitting around waiting for a BYU job offer 5 years ago?

Yep, Hill is responsible for dramatic O improvements, fewer injuries, S&C…

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

SUAVO

Oct 13, 10:03am

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

byuTX

Oct 13, 10:05am

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

SUAVO

Correct. Which we do. Good DC hire for sure

OL coach has been just as important of a hire. Has turned some Olineman around

Too bad he hired a disaster OL coach before the current OL coach

Tank the program from where it was. Even sitake knows he messed up. Or do you disagree with his decision to fire Tuiaki?

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.
