All the "experts" here who bag on Kalani need to have some introspection.

Problem with Kalani is he loses too many games that he should win. That’s a BIG

He's also won a lot of games he shouldn't, and those have been awesome.

Funny thing is several of those games you listed that he lost came to good teams

They were bad losses. You didn't list the LSU never cross the 50 embarassment.

The LSU loss was not on coaching, they were better football players at every

When you can't cross the 50, of course the other side is far superior. It was

Let's see. LSU 2017. Finished #18. 1st game, BYU. BYU's second game. BYU doesn't

Watching the game, they had their way with us. BYU was out-classed.

I am not advocating ignoring those. I bring them up because I think we should

SMH. Same could be said about LaVell, Crowton, and Bronco.

What does that prove? How about counter examples?

TheRowdy

7/11/24 2:19pm

Counter examples? Recruiting... it's a mess... organization and planning...

Coug

7/11/24 2:27pm

He’s not on the level of other head coaches in D1.

kotacoug

7/11/24 2:31pm

I think Kalani would make a great Sun Belt coach

Coug

7/11/24 2:32pm

True. He’d also make a great ambassador for the athletic dept and or school.

kotacoug

7/11/24 2:44pm

I assert that you are not qualified to offer that opinion credibly.

TheRowdy

7/11/24 2:51pm

Yeah, we get it. No one should have ever drawn conclusions about Tuiaki

vegas guey

7/11/24 3:24pm

Doh!! Owned him there. The idea that no one can evaluate what a coach is doing

One doesn't have to be a firefighter to know that the house is on fire.

gopman

7/11/24 3:45pm

True, but knowing how the fire started, and how to put it out is where I would

TheRowdy

If your house was on fire & you saw a 5'0" ft. -90 lbs. female firefighter

gopman

you're analogy falls apart right there... because you are incapable of knowing

TheRowdy

7/11/24 5:26pm

You didn't answer my question & we all know why. Your premise

gopman

7/11/24 5:36pm

Telling someone to "scurry along" is a nice cop out.

TheRowdy

By counter examples, I mean people who have called for heads prematurely

Ah the classic "coaches know better than fans" post

Huge Manatee

7/11/24 2:22pm

Oversimplification post that doesn't defend being a worthless critic.

TheRowdy

7/11/24 2:22pm

Fans should never have an opinion. Most people should not be allowed to vote b/c

Of course they love him… but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s the best for

Not everyone loved Lavell… but lavell also had significantly more skill in

I’m sure you didn’t love LaVell either. But we’re not talking about permanently jaded fans.

40+ years of byu fandom introspection. Kalani is a great dude. Average coach. BYU needs a great coach because we have

Opinions stated as fact that you are not as qualified to opine on as those close

TheRowdy

7/11/24 2:53pm

Though you're nitpicking the post as just an opinion, you can't argue that Kalani is more than an average coach.

7/11/24 2:47pm

Amazing stats! You better send them in to the BYU AD! I'm sure he's unaware.

You're drawing a lot of conclusions. Yes, I assume you don't know what

TheRowdy

7/12/24 1:01pm

On the contrary, it causes pressure which forces those in charge to make changes

Huge Manatee

7/11/24 4:09pm

That's your hope. I believe (with examples) it backfires.

TheRowdy

Wow, your comments get worse and worse. I mean can you imagine a fan base so

That's called cherry picking. If you want to critique those games then go ahead

Cherry picking? Those were four games in a five game stretch last year!

7/11/24 3:09pm

I agree with your continuation of my analogy.

TheRowdy

7/11/24 3:19pm

I get that. We’ve always had a very small coaching pool for football

D.T. Survivor

Let me steel man your argument.

gopman

7/11/24 5:39pm

Well, your summary is incorrect. So your conclusions are incorrect.

Try reading better. Come back when you do.

I "steel man" your argument & demonstrated why it was a logical fallacy.

KS is not in the 5% in his profession.

coolblue

7/11/24 5:47pm

How many head football coaches in the NFL? P4? non P4? HS?

TheRowdy

7/11/24 5:51pm

Another way to evaluate would be to take ALL football coaches and rank by salary

TheRowdy

7/11/24 5:58pm

Look at all the people who have coached football professionally

coventry94
