ESPN think we'll win six games. So that's a tall order.

SandYFan

Thought they were more like 5-7. No?

ManicBlue

5/29/20 2:03pm

Right on the edge, but yeah, 5-7 is the prediction.

This is really it.

Kalani is as good as a program like BYU can do. He's perfect for the job. Great

my definition of perfect may be different than yours

Great ambassador, but horrible coach. Out of 120 HC's, I put KS 110th or lower.

Did you read what you wrote? Perfect for the job?

Nice! Good to know we wont have any injuries.

I think the point was, if injuries continue to decimate BYU's depth, then Kalani

Utah is the only game injuries played a big role

Let's try to end the season without having to use the 3rd/4th string QB and raiding the LB corps for RBs for a change

It's 100% correct. Anyone who hasn't been able to see those things

Yup especially with a ton of talent on the team day n 2021 as well

QB Controversy with health? Right out of the chute. Is Wilson fully recovered

Cougarbib

I starting feeling that way a bit last year. All in on that feeling this year

As much as I complain about Kalani, I think I'll reserve my final judgement

You're one season too late.

BleedCougarBlue2

5/29/20 3:05pm

I don't disagree with this take and think Holmoe would have been justified

Shinshin

5/29/20 3:18pm

I'd love to see Sitake's new contract. I wonder if there are any performance

ManicBlue

5/29/20 3:33pm

Agree. The buyout has to be minimal, if any. Kalani had no leverage.

Shinshin

5/29/20 3:35pm

Being a private university, BYU is in a good spot by not having to disclose it

5/29/20 3:41pm

He will be here for a while. The BOT love that he’s a great ambassador for the

LyleLanley

Losing makes it hard to be a good ambassador of anything.

Shinshin

5/29/20 3:34pm

The church would rather lose then have a program that is a black eye by having

LyleLanley

5/29/20 3:44pm

The two things are not tied together. It IS possible to have a winning program

We are stuck with Kalani he just signed an extension. He’s not going to fired

ManicBlue

Not true

Backcountry

5/29/20 7:34pm

Yep, but the Church would also rather BYU win and have a likeable head coach.

Shinshin

5/29/20 4:22pm

They should put their money where their thoughts are.

LyleLanley

5/29/20 5:03pm

Maybe. The Church has other priorities.

Shinshin

5/29/20 5:36pm

BYU football has a bigger budget, better facilities, and a better location than

ManicBlue

Invest more money get better coaching.

LyleLanley

5/29/20 5:56pm

Really? Like who for instance? FYI ... Saban isn't coming no matter how much

ManicBlue

5/29/20 6:08pm

Exactly why I’m saying the BOT is happy with Kalani.

LyleLanley

5/29/20 8:30pm

I'm not saying there isn't a good HC option for BYU ... just that more money

ManicBlue

5/29/20 11:54pm

We had the right coach for BYU. For $4M, who knows - maybe he would come back.

Cougarbib

That's rich. Seemingly, no one could stand Bronco when he was here but are now

Much better integrity on this response. Now we can just agree to disagree.

Like Kyle Whittingham

Backcountry

Neither the church nor the university give a rip about wins.

Backcountry

I bet we still hear A LOT of excuses when we start and/or finish the season with a poor record.

SpiffCoug

Lip Gallagher

I’m not even sure how a hoard of RMs (that never came) could be an excuse
