Where Are All The Kalani Haters Now?

Look, he deserved all the criticism he got. He also deserves a ton of credit

He didn’t deserve for people to forget 2020 and 2021, but this season is proving those seasons weren’t a mirage.

2021 defensively was horrible. Look at the stats. Offense was historic great.

I’m giving him credit. He hired Jay Hill that is Big! One of the great hires in

I was/am a Kalani doubter. He is doing fantastic this year. I will forgive an inevitable let down.

He fired them already

Still here, hoping we don't lose Jay Hill who orchestrated this turn around

Yup. This is all about Jay Hill.

Do you mean the guy he added to the coaching staff?

5 years too late? YEAH, that guy.

Yep, Hill is responsible for dramatic O improvements, fewer injuries, S&C…

Who hired TJ Woods and the consultants the team is utilizing? And the new S&C

You can't blame a guy for hiring one person and not credit him for hiring

SUAVO

Oct 13, 10:03am

But you can blame him for holding on to his Buddy and tanking the D for 5 years too long

byuTX

Oct 13, 10:05am

Exactly, so if you blame him for that you have to credit him for all the good

SUAVO

Oct 13, 10:13am

Correct. Which we do. Good DC hire for sure

byuTX

Oct 13, 10:18am

OL coach has been just as important of a hire. Has turned some Olineman around

SUAVO

Oct 13, 10:20am

Too bad he hired a disaster OL coach before the current OL coach

You know why Funk was hired?

Blame for the bad and credit for the good

Correct

Of course then you’d have to explain your definition of tank because the

Polecat

Tank the program from where it was. Even sitake knows he messed up. Or do you disagree with his decision to fire Tuiaki?

byuTX

Oct 13, 10:19am

You just said the defense tanked for 5 seasons. I responded with a remark

Polecat

Oct 13, 10:30am

Ok thanks. You know what I meant. The D underperformed & Tuiaki needed to go. Surprised you disagree with Sitake’s move

byuTX

Kalani is a CEO. He gets credit for his staff.

Who hired Hill?

Where was Jay Hill for the other turnaround?

“Quickly” is the wrong word. D did not quickly turn around. Great this year, but

Don’t think there are many actual haters. Most fans with concerns about Kalani

There was one, and he’s literally blind. I’d prefer to have a couple bad seasons and restart than be stuck in perpetual

There was definitely more than one. Quite a few would, like yourself, didn't

Nobody wants KS not to SUCCEED. We want him not to SUCK.

His biggest criticism is and has always been his failure to fire Tuiaki.

Kalani owes Jay hill half his paycheck.

No one has argued that Kalani wasn't one of the best dudes in all of football...
