I would love to see those statistics that you just made up.

Hurry and scour the internet and hopefully you can find something.

You are too funny. Yes the 4 star stud who has performed well in limited game time has a better chance at being a star than guys we bring up from Weber St. Shocking I know. I better explain it more.

And you want to compare him now to Georgia DE's? That is quite the compliment and Makes total sense as that is the level we are talking about. BYU has loads of guys transfer in at that level. Why not just compare them to the 49ers DEs? And I called him a star.

Good day.

Lot's of Kalani bashing going on again. I believe there is strong indicator...

We know who Kalani is at this point. He's not suddenly going to become

Well if that is your expectation...sorry.

BYU is never going to be a title contender

4/5/24 6:31am

You have to at least be a player in the race for the conference title.

maYbe

4/5/24 7:05am

So you have to be top 25 every year? BYU hasn’t been that in 30 years

4/5/24 7:17am

If they aren't then fan support will slowly wane.

maYbe

4/5/24 7:30am

It’s pretty good for not doing that for 30 years

4/5/24 7:49am

Don't have to be Top 25 every year, but we're at 2 Top 25 seasons in 15 years

Connor stayed because of TJ Woods coaching the Oline.

In your scenario, you think someone of Pay's talent level stays with TJ Wood and an inept HC?

No, everyone did not "poo poo the hire of TJ Woods as another lazy hire of a mediocre OL coach"

I specifically remember multiple post about the Woods hire being lazy.

I personally remember posting that TJ was a great hire!

We should note the people that said this. Sounds like lazy posting.

True but Connor also came back because

He could have gone somewhere else and got better too, but chose not to.

who got rid of the last coach and brought in the new one?

Kalani is a fantastic ambassador for BYU and the church. He loves the players

Getting “BYU guys” to stay at BYU is a VERY low bar of “success” to coaching…

BamaCoug

Well said

I never said it was the bar, I said it was indicator that he is likely doing a better job than CBers care to believe.

BYU has been the fall back position when LDS players don't pan out at other places.

It’s ok to admit that KS is both a great guy, rep of church, but not a good HC

Frankfromtheballpark

4/5/24 7:24am

I think that is my point. If he wasn't a good HC, you'd likely be seeing more player attrition, no?

4/5/24 11:15am

Nope. It’s not like we have a lot of guys with options elsewhere…

Frankfromtheballpark

4/5/24 5:09pm

That is not true at all. The majority of our starters would be able to transfer to another school and get meaningful

Blue2thebone

4/5/24 8:04am

Which impactful players are you referring to?

4/5/24 11:16am

Kalani is only as good as his assistants. We have a mediocre OC.

4/5/24 8:11am

And he is only as good as his ability to find decent assistants

4/5/24 10:57am

and the OC is at least as undisciplined and unorganized as Kalani

AZ Coug

4/6/24 10:49pm

Based on this analysis, what % of coaches are doing a good job?

4/5/24 8:18am

This is a good question. Every team outside of the top 15 has 'bad coaches' –

4/5/24 8:41am

I said "indicator" with Kalani specifically. I am not comparing him to other coaches or programs.

4/5/24 11:17am

Kalani is a good, but not elite coach – at this point. His results have been

4/5/24 8:32am

It’s not just elite vs inept. Kalani can be in the middle and be an amazing guy

MrSandman

4/5/24 8:38am

I said an indicator and at no point said he was amazing. Also, the OP is targeting to those who feel he is terrible.

4/5/24 11:19am

Being a good likeable person is not the same as being a good coach.

AltTabbins

4/5/24 9:33am

100% the point I am making. If you were a D1 talented player, would you stay because your coach was just likable?

Oh now we had 15 starters come in last year.

Please share your full list.

You want me to go down a list of BYU guys who came in and mostly underperformed?

kimdaddy35

4/5/24 2:26pm

So you didn't even do a real comparison before calculating a net?

Logan is never going to play again?

kimdaddy35

4/5/24 2:58pm

Sure, he may play again.

I was not impressed with the vast majority of the transfers in to BYU

kimdaddy35

and you still won't give your full list.

Belboz

4/5/24 3:25pm

4/5/24 4:55pm

Yes and this year he will be sophomore. Not sure what you are even trying to

kimdaddy35

4/5/24 5:11pm

How do you not get it: You are calling a kid a star in the making the has played a grand total of 5 games?

4/5/24 9:57pm

Not hard. I have to answer why I think Bagnah wasn't that good.

kimdaddy35

4/5/24 10:43pm

Bagnah? Why are you making a comparison like that. Just because he had more sacks than Bagnah doesn't make your point.

4/6/24 12:05am

I would love to see those statistics that you just made up.

kimdaddy35

4/6/24 1:10am

I never made up a single statistic. Do you see a number or percentage anywhere in my post?

4/6/24 9:01am

It's not worth engaging him anymore. He's proven that he's not interested

4/6/24 10:04am

Lol, you didn't say statistically speaking Fanonis likely to never play a season

kimdaddy35

4/6/24 1:19pm

I said it was common sense, and then I put forth the evidence from a systematic review/meta analysis.

You think he should be fired if he doesn't win 8 games this season? Wow.

4/5/24 10:21am

Stronger indicators he isn't: see 4th and 20 fake punts. Out of his depth.

Mitty

4/5/24 10:50am

This has absolutely nothing to do with my post at all. Strawman.

4/5/24 11:26am

The best thing Kalani has done for the program was to hire his successor.

Amen. He, is the future.

4/5/24 11:17am

I would be a lot less patient with KS If there was a clear cut alternative.

I wasn't a a proponent of replacing Kalani until I experienced Jay Hill's

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

I hope Jay hill proves to be that good. Kalani may have just hired his Bronco

4/5/24 3:44pm

I'm of the opinion that Hill ends up the BYU HC....but via a roundabout method, not simply replacing his boss
