You're dreaming if you think he would ever come back to BYU, and it wasn't just about money. Believe what you want.

ESPN think we'll win six games. So that's a tall order.

Thought they were more like 5-7. No?

ManicBlue

5/29/20 2:03pm

Right on the edge, but yeah, 5-7 is the prediction.

Kalani is as good as a program like BYU can do. He's perfect for the job. Great

my definition of perfect may be different than yours

Great ambassador, but horrible coach. Out of 120 HC's, I put KS 110th or lower.

I think the point was, if injuries continue to decimate BYU's depth, then Kalani

Let's try to end the season without having to use the 3rd/4th string QB and raiding the LB corps for RBs for a change

It's 100% correct. Anyone who hasn't been able to see those things

Yup especially with a ton of talent on the team day n 2021 as well

QB Controversy with health? Right out of the chute. Is Wilson fully recovered

I starting feeling that way a bit last year. All in on that feeling this year

As much as I complain about Kalani, I think I'll reserve my final judgement

You're one season too late.

BleedCougarBlue2

I don't disagree with this take and think Holmoe would have been justified

Shinshin

5/29/20 3:18pm

I'd love to see Sitake's new contract. I wonder if there are any performance

ManicBlue

5/29/20 3:33pm

Agree. The buyout has to be minimal, if any. Kalani had no leverage.

Shinshin

5/29/20 3:35pm

Being a private university, BYU is in a good spot by not having to disclose it

LyleLanley

Losing makes it hard to be a good ambassador of anything.

Shinshin

5/29/20 3:34pm

The church would rather lose then have a program that is a black eye by having

The two things are not tied together. It IS possible to have a winning program

ManicBlue

Not true

Backcountry

5/29/20 7:34pm

Yep, but the Church would also rather BYU win and have a likeable head coach.

Shinshin

5/29/20 4:22pm

They should put their money where their thoughts are.

LyleLanley

5/29/20 5:03pm

Maybe. The Church has other priorities.

BYU football has a bigger budget, better facilities, and a better location than

Invest more money get better coaching.

LyleLanley

5/29/20 5:56pm

Really? Like who for instance? FYI ... Saban isn't coming no matter how much

ManicBlue

5/29/20 6:08pm

Exactly why I’m saying the BOT is happy with Kalani.

LyleLanley

5/29/20 8:30pm

I'm not saying there isn't a good HC option for BYU ... just that more money

ManicBlue

5/29/20 11:54pm

We had the right coach for BYU. For $4M, who knows - maybe he would come back.

That's rich. Seemingly, no one could stand Bronco when he was here but are now

Much better integrity on this response. Now we can just agree to disagree.

He was the contingency plan. Second choice. And the first choice ran circles

Neither the church nor the university give a rip about wins.

Backcountry

I bet we still hear A LOT of excuses when we start and/or finish the season with a poor record.
