Everyone in the football program and surrounding it (like Tom Holmoe) understand way more than you, have FORGOTTEN more about football than you will ever understand.

So while an outside perspective is sometimes valuable, acting like you know what is wrong or what is missing is lacking in self-awareness.

For example who among us has developed the skills in their respective profession that would put them in the top 5% of ALL others in that profession? Can you imagine then someone completely OUTSIDE that arena actually telling you what you are doing wrong? Ridiculous!

For example, I'm a software architect, and not in the top 5% of Software Architects. But if a video game nerd who is a fan of software, but doesn't really know anything was critiquing something I wrote, it doesn't mean anything except that that individual is more likely wrong than right, and more likely clueless as to the real challenges faced.

I think you can say the same for any profession, like plumber, electrician, welder, etc. Those people have developed skills and wisdom gained from experience, and while I think it's ok to ask questions and even question decisions, it should be done with humility, not with the self-important aggrandizement I see here when questioning our coaches.

I expect a good flaming here — but it's very frustrating to see the critics out so strongly. I think it tears down the team rather than do any good. One thing I'm pretty confident in is that Kalani wants to do his best and wants to do it in Lavell's image. If he can't get that done, that's one thing, but we have had plenty of good to go with the bad so far. I hope that Kalani can do it, and I trust that if he can't he will be let go — and then the learning process starts all over again with a new coach, which will almost assuredly be painful.
