RalphWiggam Barkeep, another Mekong please

Did you quit watching the season after the Sam Houston State game? If so…I would understand how you came to that conclusion.

If you watched the rest of the season…no way would any reasonable mind say “defense became our strength.”

I like Kalani Sitake, and I think he is a bottom half of the BIG12 level coach

That is what is going to happen.

I could see it happening and would welcome it. But when will that happen?

I'm afraid we need a new OC also.

Hinta

Jun 2, 12:03am

Yep, and we'd get that if this scenario comes about. Hill would pick his own coa

Saxa

Agreed, it is would be Hill’s decision in the proposed scenario.

Who would be viable candidates?

Hinta

Not sure. Step one is what matters most. Nothing matters beyond it at this point

When did defense became our strength? 99th in PPG allowed & 101st in Yards

Yeah. Trying to figure out what season he watched. I remember an Iowa State team

Look at the FEI rankings. Things switched for the better on D and worse on O.

Kyle Whittington was 5-7 two seasons in a row at Utah

We all know Kyle Whittingham. Donnerstag, Kalani is no Kyle Whittingham

This take has become so obnoxious that it is impossible to ignore.

Very well said, although I don’t think Kalani is in over his head, he is a below

KW also inherited a program that was already very healthy

donnerstag

Jun 2, 10:22pm

Agreed, it’s why it’s more than just W/L. How would you grade KS and KW?

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 2, 11:31pm

Kalani’s ceiling is a bit more unknown

donnerstag

Jun 3, 12:13am

How about up to this point then? What grade would you give each?

Terrible idea instead just keep having bad seasons until his contracts over and put all the football dollars into MBB

FEI breaks things down further than just yards against and points against.

I do believe the defense played better than the numbers show, which is

Hill was a good hire and should only continue to prove so.

I think that as well.

Hmm……..well, I am certain that everyone who matters in the equation, disagrees

PhilPete

Jun 2, 5:55am

Interesting Phil, how did they feel about Tuiaki the whole time as well?

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 2, 8:58am

Because Sitake will get one more season no matter what and Hill will move on.

I don't think we watched the same Football. I definitely did not think the

Look at the FEI stats, defense got better in his first year…

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 2, 8:58am

He’s easily bottom 3 with Satterfield and Aranda

byuTX

$50,000,000 NIL/yr would make him a better coach.

I would say - Based on Roster and Coaching

DataMouth

Meaning we have a new coach next year or in 2026?

Agree, as stated I think we need to upgrade the talent. Same goes for the HC.

If that were true most here would support KS as one of their own

I like winning more than I like KS. If he doesn’t win ( insert excuse her ),

Hard to argue against winning.
