To say he’s been great in any other role is highly debatable.
I don’t enjoy saying that as I am a Sitake fan and think he was the best man for the job at the time of his hiring, given him the available candidate pool.
He enjoyed success as part of the Utah staff as a high-ranking foil to Kyle Whittingham, who is objectively one of the best defensive coaches in college football.
Kalani is still trying to make his way as the next great delegator a la Edwards. Given his increased budget with which he has gone out and hired better coaches, he may yet pull it off, even though many have concluded by now “he is what he is.“
For now, it’s fair to say that Sitake’s most consistent success has predominantly come in a specific role in a specific situation at Utah
