Why all the Kalani Hate?

myfriendryan

6/1/24 1:55pm

People suck that’s why.

6/1/24 1:57pm

Or they're just looking at the situation in a simple-minded way

MaxxPower

6/1/24 3:23pm

Certainly true for one game or even one season. We have 8 full seasons of data.

Forzaitalia

6/1/24 3:32pm

Great point. You're right. The better perspective would be to analyze Kalani's

MaxxPower

6/1/24 5:18pm

Do you watch the team play? There are issues everywhere

TNT

6/1/24 1:57pm

Yes, haven’t missed a game in years.

myfriendryan

6/1/24 2:07pm

When Jay Hill was hired, he immediately started signing great recruits

Zip

6/1/24 2:16pm

Has Kalani learned ANYTHING in the previous 9 yrs? No. Still clueless.

TeeKaa

6/1/24 2:29pm

Fact check: 100% true unfortunately.

gopman

6/1/24 3:33pm

Please Elaborate:

myfriendryan

6/1/24 3:45pm

Respectable results? Besides covid-affected 2020 & 2021 what

gopman

6/1/24 3:56pm

BYU hasn’t been relevant since 2009 (except for Kalani led 2020 & 2021)

arcawley

6/1/24 5:34pm

jay hill was hired going into the first year of being P5. that had a LOT to do with it. not everything, but a lot

FieroCoug

6/2/24 6:37am

The only game that mattered in 2020 was lost. And it was against the 7th or 8th best football team in the Carolinas.

Blue2thebone

6/1/24 9:03pm

Wrong. Not even close. Lost to a ranked team traveling across the country on 2

NYC and Japan

6/1/24 10:55pm

2020 was fun--& undeniably an asterisk year filled with cupcakes. It has padded

Forzaitalia

6/1/24 11:41pm

Because he loses a fair number of games that should be wins.

Squirt

6/1/24 1:58pm

And wins a fair number that should be losses

arcawley

6/1/24 5:35pm

Has anyone added up should-have-been-losses and should-have-been-wins?

Ripliancum

6/1/24 8:32pm

Only 2 out of 8?

6/1/24 1:58pm

This has GOTTA be a reverse. Cause Kalani is a horrible coach.

Tio

6/1/24 1:58pm

I think some of it has to do with the inaction or slow action toward issues

Zip

6/1/24 2:00pm

He put his buddy ahead of the program

TNT

6/1/24 2:02pm

He seems slow to realize somebody isn't getting the job done

Zip

6/1/24 2:06pm

That indicates incompetence

TNT

6/1/24 2:16pm

No, he just gives people a more than fair amount of time to make appropriate

First sign of adversity? Fans would have been happy if Tuiaki was let go a

bluesloth

6/1/24 2:52pm

Tuiaki NEVER should have been hired in ANY capacity. But as DC - lol lol lol lol

TeeKaa

6/1/24 3:09pm

If Detmer was going to be canned, Tuiaki should have been.

DeepCCoug

6/2/24 12:52am

Seems to me he learned from Lavelle and runs the program like Lavelle did.

6/1/24 2:57pm

Except LaVell knew about football, and hired those who knew football. KS, LOL

TeeKaa

6/1/24 3:11pm

Correct. Unfortunately Kalani is no where near like LaVell & it

gopman

6/1/24 3:25pm

Lavelle knew a lot less about football than Kalani. And his record against

Threw and Through

6/1/24 7:10pm

What? This has to be TIC. LaVell revolutionized the game with

gopman

6/1/24 7:45pm

No, not TIC. LaVell knew very little about the passing game. BYU became great

Threw and Through

6/1/24 9:34pm

LaVel's zenith streak in the middle to late 70's and early eighties carried him

Zip

6/1/24 9:52pm

True. But by the time he got to his last three years, BYU was unsuccessful and

Threw and Through

6/1/24 9:57pm

Yep. Not many people remember or acknowledge that

Zip

6/1/24 10:18pm

I remember. Got tired of hearing, "I don't know why we came out flat, we had a

BYURider

6/2/24 3:22am

Uh, 1996? Also 1994 (10 win season). The 90's weren't too

gopman

6/2/24 7:43am

False. LaVell was very knowledgeable about the West Coast Offense

gopman

6/2/24 7:33am

But you are correct that I spelled his name wrong. That's embarrassing. That's

Threw and Through

6/1/24 9:40pm

Or....or, just hear me out.....Kalani values relationships over results &

gopman

6/1/24 3:37pm

Do you really think the head coach doesn’t care about winning?

myfriendryan

6/1/24 3:49pm

Bromance.

gopman

6/1/24 3:58pm

Right, that’s why Detmer got two years and Tuiaki got seven

ZeldaCoug

6/1/24 7:51pm

Tuiaki had good and even excellent success in multiple years. Detmer didn't.

Threw and Through

6/1/24 9:53pm

In year 8? I've heard of "glacial pace" but good grief....

gopman

6/1/24 3:35pm

Think of the Bromance TNT.......it was special.....it was....

gopman

6/1/24 3:34pm

Did KS actually have the money to hire Jay Hill before last season?

TempeCoug

6/1/24 8:35pm

That's a valid point and one I've considered

Zip

6/1/24 9:09pm

Did you say the same thing about Bronco?

6/1/24 9:10pm

the defense wasn’t good but it wasn’t bad until 2022. fans are ALWAYS ahead of coaches when it comes to complaining.

FieroCoug

6/1/24 2:03pm

Nah - Kalani was complaining plenty about Ty early on and was fine with throwing

foofcoug

6/1/24 2:08pm

yeah that’s cause the offense was actually awful. the defense was good for G5 bad for P5. it was just boring.

FieroCoug

6/1/24 2:31pm

I guess fans aren't ALWAYS ahead of coaches when it comes to complaining then.

foofcoug

6/1/24 2:34pm

or fans were covering up for arguably the worst OC in FBS who had only coached high school. all cause he won a heisman.

FieroCoug

6/1/24 7:40pm

Ty was over one of the absolute worst offenses in all of FBS despite having

6/1/24 4:15pm

It's because he's Polynesian. Bronco had some of the same issues with coaches, but you don't hear people say he was

6/1/24 9:13pm

Nope. Didn't happen. It's a false accusation against a guy who's never

Threw and Through

6/1/24 10:04pm

Exactly correct. I remember thinking at the time how disloyal Sitake was.

DeepCCoug

6/2/24 1:08am

No hate, just this:

HuskerFan2

6/1/24 2:06pm

Not trending well if we keep up more of the same. Need improvements all around

jpal1397

6/1/24 2:18pm

So 29-9 before a P5 transition year where they were close to a bowl game? Solid

arcawley

6/1/24 5:37pm

He asked a question, that is one answer.

HuskerFan2

6/1/24 6:48pm

COVID year was easier than an 80s WAC schedule.

Iman23

6/1/24 2:10pm

Because our late taste of football is 5 losses in a row. 6 month aftertaste.

ochobeeguy

6/1/24 2:22pm

With blowouts suffered from teams with comparable talent to BYU

TNT

6/1/24 2:22pm

No hate. He’s a cool guy. The team is just sloppy in nearly every way. Getting

TarCoug

6/1/24 2:29pm

Good summary

TNT

6/1/24 2:31pm

I want to see him succeed. He's just the sort of guy who deserves it.

DubuMfalme

6/1/24 2:40pm

For the last time, no one hates Kalani the person. But plenty hate losing.

ldssdl

6/1/24 2:35pm

Last season was pretty sad

Heath Squashwell

6/1/24 2:40pm

I gotcha

6/1/24 2:55pm

Fair. I’m gonna watch some film and fix my attitude.

Idacoug

6/1/24 2:56pm

Kalani made BYU football irrelevant. None of us have any personal ill

gopman

6/1/24 3:07pm

I think there are some on this board that have personal ill will towards him.

BYURider

6/1/24 3:11pm

Some are conflating criticism of his coaching performance

gopman

6/1/24 3:23pm

It had already been irrelevant for 7-8 years before Kalani…and were 29-9 before

arcawley

6/1/24 5:38pm

Not so. We made some noise in 2015 with our win at Nebraska.

gopman

6/1/24 6:27pm

One week's noise didn't make us better or more relevant

Threw and Through

6/1/24 11:23pm

No one cares about 8-5 or 9-4 unranked seasons…

arcawley

6/2/24 12:55am

Consistently earning 8-9 win seasons along with the occasional 10 win

gopman

6/2/24 8:02am

Not that smart & fairly lazy. Bad combo for a head coach at a major university.

byubyu

6/1/24 3:17pm

Would you say that to his face?

myfriendryan

6/1/24 3:47pm

Yes. I would tell him it was stupid and lazy to not have the right cleats for a

byubyu

6/1/24 4:00pm

Amazing you can determine all this from watching a 3 hr game in TV once a week.

BYURider

6/1/24 4:15pm

I don't have to be a firefighter to know the house is on fire. Same

gopman

6/1/24 4:33pm

So you know how many hrs a week Kalani and the other lazy coaches put in a week?

BYURider

6/1/24 5:07pm

At those salaries, you don’t get paid for hours worked, you get paid for results

ldssdl

6/1/24 5:48pm

Also 3 or 4 plays from going 3-9. It's objective accountability not hate. That

Forzaitalia

6/1/24 3:25pm

It's more Kalani not-love than Kalani hate.

Ripliancum

6/1/24 3:27pm

We just had a long thread on this very subject. You could read it.

6/1/24 3:47pm

Ok until the nonsense about 2-3 plays from 7-5.

kimdaddy35

6/1/24 4:42pm

Odd part to pick out. Legitimately true. Also 2-3 plays from 3-9

NYC and Japan

6/1/24 11:07pm

And those plays were coaches responsibility to get right and execute correctly

jpal1397

6/2/24 10:58am

Because people like you keep starting conversations like this one.

here's to hoping

6/1/24 5:36pm

Because he isn’t a good coach.

Grock

6/1/24 5:45pm

I don't think anyone "hates" KS. It's just that a lot of us recognize his

6/1/24 6:22pm

Many fans are completely fine with mediocrity. I’m not and…

Some people can’t differentiate criticism from hate. If you are critical of

cougaman

6/1/24 6:40pm

Makes me wonder if the low bar group ever had to be responsible for managing

Forzaitalia

6/1/24 6:51pm

Criticism: Kalani could improve the team management of timeout usage. Hate:

6/1/24 9:19pm

There are more criticisms than just that, and he’s been HC for 8 years. I think

cougaman

6/2/24 7:55am

Not hating, but I have my doubts he's got what it takes to make BYU a program

6/1/24 8:02pm

Don’t hate him at all. I want him to win. In the XII. Hopefully it happens

6/1/24 8:44pm

It’s not hate at all. It’s just being real and accepting the fact that we don’t have a football coach that moves the

Blue2thebone

6/1/24 9:01pm

It’s been nearly impossible to have losing seasons with our schedule so that benchmark doesn’t work

Blue2thebone

6/2/24 12:43am

re “Not many coaches that were hired the same year he was are still around.”

Blue2thebone

6/2/24 12:45am

Cause we got a sector of whinny, unrealistic fans in our fanbase.

nitestal

6/2/24 9:00am

Because fans saw the issues on defense for years yet he hung onto the coaches.

6/2/24 11:17am

Good, Better, Best- he is a “good” coach, not the Best but good has always been
