SinkingQuffa Walk-on

Don't know the story on Devin, but to blame any coach for Bernard is foolish.

In purely terms of a talent, Bernard was my favorite player when he was here. Loved his ability, & loved his style. But that kid was given as many chances by Kalani & staff as one could ask for at BYU.

And his problems did not begin w/ Kalani's arrival, either.

That's not really a knock. Kalani is anything but dumb. Bob's pretty sharp.

We would have won more games and people would just be quiet now.

Bob isn't a self-promoter by any stretch, so it wouldn't have been so bad.

It DOES matter. Just not as much as it could & should.

From a pure football standpoint, I could care less if Kalani has a culture where kids want to stay, but FB still sucks

Any definition of "didn't actively seek such kids" is wrong but sure

I think there was more of a philosophy change when Anae returned.

Kalani is definitely casting a wider net in recruiting. I think his problem is

So every coach with a loosing record has poor discipline?

Odds are higher that the answer is yes; an undisciplined coach doesn’t usually

I wasn't overjoyed w him, but I sure wish we'd gone the way I was hoping.

Wasn't the knock that he ticked off some families of recruits? Fact is he ran

Lance Anderson was the right (realistic) choice and he still is.
