Try reading better. Come back when you do.

I said we should have some humility in our critiques and not feel so arrogantly that we (the royal we) know what's wrong or what the solution is.

I also have said that we need to lower the temperature and not create a huge negative movement that feeds and eats it's own.

All the "experts" here who bag on Kalani need to have some introspection.

TheRowdy

Problem with Kalani is he loses too many games that he should win. That’s a BIG

He's also won a lot of games he shouldn't, and those have been awesome.

Funny thing is several of those games you listed that he lost came to good teams

They were bad losses. You didn't list the LSU never cross the 50 embarassment.

The LSU loss was not on coaching, they were better football players at every

Watching the game, they had their way with us. BYU was out-classed.

I am not advocating ignoring those. I bring them up because I think we should

What does that prove? How about counter examples?

TheRowdy

7/11/24 2:19pm

Counter examples? Recruiting... it's a mess... organization and planning...

Coug

7/11/24 2:27pm

He’s not on the level of other head coaches in D1.

kotacoug

7/11/24 2:31pm

I think Kalani would make a great Sun Belt coach

Coug

7/11/24 2:32pm

True. He’d also make a great ambassador for the athletic dept and or school.

I assert that you are not qualified to offer that opinion credibly.

TheRowdy

7/11/24 2:51pm

Yeah, we get it. No one should have ever drawn conclusions about Tuiaki

Doh!! Owned him there. The idea that no one can evaluate what a coach is doing

One doesn't have to be a firefighter to know that the house is on fire.

gopman

7/11/24 3:45pm

True, but knowing how the fire started, and how to put it out is where I would

TheRowdy

If your house was on fire & you saw a 5'0" ft. -90 lbs. female firefighter

you're analogy falls apart right there... because you are incapable of knowing

You didn't answer my question & we all know why. Your premise

Telling someone to "scurry along" is a nice cop out.

By counter examples, I mean people who have called for heads prematurely

Ah the classic "coaches know better than fans" post

7/11/24 2:22pm

Oversimplification post that doesn't defend being a worthless critic.

TheRowdy

7/11/24 2:22pm

Fans should never have an opinion. Most people should not be allowed to vote b/c

Not everyone loved Lavell… but lavell also had significantly more skill in

Opinions stated as fact that you are not as qualified to opine on as those close

TheRowdy

Though you're nitpicking the post as just an opinion, you can't argue that Kalani is more than an average coach.

Amazing stats! You better send them in to the BYU AD! I'm sure he's unaware.

You're drawing a lot of conclusions. Yes, I assume you don't know what

TheRowdy

7/12/24 1:01pm

On the contrary, it causes pressure which forces those in charge to make changes

7/11/24 4:09pm

That's your hope. I believe (with examples) it backfires.

That's called cherry picking. If you want to critique those games then go ahead

Cherry picking? Those were four games in a five game stretch last year!

It’s more like someone builds you a house

7/11/24 3:09pm

I agree with your continuation of my analogy.

TheRowdy

7/11/24 3:19pm

I get that. We’ve always had a very small coaching pool for football

7/11/24 3:28pm

Let me steel man your argument.

Well, your summary is incorrect. So your conclusions are incorrect.

KS is not in the 5% in his profession.

7/11/24 5:47pm

How many head football coaches in the NFL? P4? non P4? HS?

TheRowdy

7/11/24 5:51pm

Another way to evaluate would be to take ALL football coaches and rank by salary

Look at all the people who have coached football professionally
