I don't get all the Kalani hate
Marc Spector
Apr 17, 1:14pm
His floor is low, and his ceiling is low sans Covid year. Not that hard to understand.

KS will be as good as the coaches he surrounds himself with. Great person & BYU guy.

This describes LaVell as well. I love Kalani and feel good about his staff

You just described what every HC should be.

Yes but the caveat of surrounding himself with best hasn't always been the case.
Soupie

I agree but now? I like the current staff. Calling for a wholesale change now is just stupid IMO.
ManicBlue
Apr 17, 2:11pm
Yes which was my point. The hate seems to be based on a situation that no longer exists but he needs to get it done now.

Kalani is not a great leader of leaders. Not really even good at it. I love most other things about him. Great dude

Your first sentence is much more describable of how fans feel than is hate.

He's a bad coach. See: fake punting on 4th and 20. Twice.

Serious question. Is that enough to condemn a HC(not specifically KS) for?

He is a lazy recruiter. Half the team is from schools an hour from campus.

People just like to hate. Always needs to be a scapegoat. I am on team Kalani.

Jay Hill is a non-starter, but you’re all in on Darrell Bevell?

You don't think SOS could have something to do with that trend (especially 2020
RGGeemer

Perhaps. But if BYU only wins 3-5 games in 2024 is SOS going to be the main thing that fans are discussing?

We'll win 6+

I hope you're right.

Three teams that combined to go 12-17? Yes

UCF was very good that year, certainly not a 'depleted high school team'.

I think the point is that BYU played no P5 teams that year. It was a complete G5
