Holmoe's in a tough situation with the FB team...

Zach Wilson also

Covid schedule and the incorrect interpretation of those wins

That was his point I suspect.

Jun 9, 12:09am

Yes,many don’t see it that way though. They think it was one of the greatest team seasons in BYU history.

Blue2thebone

Jun 9, 12:15am

The team had an NFL starting backfield

Both points can be true that the 2020 & 2021 teams were stacked

It can also be true that Kalani was building towards 2020-21

This all-time team that you’re talking about lost to some little program from coastal Carolina.

BYU got manhandled???

We can do both. We can exclude the covid seasons to show

BYU will give Sitake a long leash for the first few years in the Big 12. Good

He’s on a short leash.

So how many wins this year to save his job?

Jun 8, 6:24pm

Bowl eligible. He brought in one specific coach

I’d be surprised if he’s gone at 5-7. We could certainly find out though. Not an

I can see where Tom gives him one more year if it's 5-7 but Kalani's

Do you know something? Or conjecture?

Agree. Been clear to me this was the case since BYU was admitted to the B12 3

“Bronco is the second winningest coach at BYU and way too many fans wanted him”

44C

Jun 9, 7:14am

Bronco is a great fix-it coach but won't take a program to championship levels.

Forzaitalia

Jun 9, 1:04pm

Same with KS except the fix-it part

Jun 9, 2:56pm

BYU smoked Bronco’s team while it had all the disadvantages of independence.

Jun 9, 9:57pm

The divide between Lavell and all the rest is large.

VenomFarmer

Bronco is elite. I loved when he was at BYU. I hoped he would stay on

EDthoracotomy

Jun 10, 7:19am

Bronco is elite at what?

donnerstag

Jun 10, 7:24am

Go rewatch the Crowton years. Bronco made BYU a winning team.

EDthoracotomy

Jun 10, 7:45am

So he was responsible for the high-power offense?

OldFogey

Jun 10, 7:49am

BYU from 06-09 was elite on offense.

EDthoracotomy

Jun 10, 8:15am

Bronco is a very good coach and gets credit for turning around the culture

donnerstag

Jun 10, 7:56am

Bronco has shown he can flip any program and make them a winner.

So much better than kalani

Fire another TE coach. Problem solved

KS isn't suddenly going to be a different coach; after 8 years it's pretty clear

Hinta

Yep some on here continue to give him a pass. TNT doesn't get it. Like women

TNT

Jun 8, 5:47pm

It's because Kalani is Polynesian & likable. There. I said it.

Well when you are getting paid that much money......

Not sure, but you seem to infer being Poly is part of the problem. I hope that

Yup, after a long enough period we need to accept the results and trend.

This narrative is so old, and so wrong.

What's wrong about it?

Les IsMore

Jun 8, 9:08pm

What's right about it?

OldFogey

Jun 8, 10:16pm

That KS has his struggles. Just like everyone. He is an avg coach in BIG12.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 8, 10:46pm

I wish he were an average coach in the B12. I would take that.

You are conflating conference and non conference wins. Don’t do that, Kalani is

4-8 and he stays, too.

Forzaitalia

Jun 8, 10:39pm

I could see 4 wins putting him on a hot seat and giving him one more year.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 8, 10:48pm

4 wins shows that the program is regressing & that Kalani has lost
