This was addressed in the OP. KY sold his vision and leaned into his resume to

get people to fork out the cash. He did the same with recruits after securing the cash needed to garner their interest. You can say it all comes down to $$$ and maybe that's the most important factor, but credit KY for inspiring faith in the big donors to shell out. We need that from the FB coach too.

Nonsense. He’s responsible to get the staff he needs and to get the money he needs

Yep, Kalani's at fault that there wasn't enough money until BYU joined the Big12

He left head coaching in the nba to have a better family environment here.

As long as we don't take him for granted, he'll stay.

Odds of Kevin Young leaving BYU for a different college job seem very low. NBA at some point is a moderate risk.

roseyscenario

Aug 1, 11:52am

Yes, if he leaves BYU he’d be way more likely to go to the NBA in 5-10 years

It is easier to recruit for a team of 15 than 85 (soon to be 105)

Exactly. Seth Davis put our recruiting class at sixth in the nation. Behind only Baylor in the big 12 🏆

Shortsighted post IMO, it really comes down to a couple things not related to

It's more shortsighted thinking that Kalani is the closest we can get to LaVell.

If we're talking KY analogues, Kellen Moore or Darrell Bevell

Anybody who was innovative and was a good CEO and a good leader anybody who could win games

I almost choked on your words. Kalani is the closest thing BYU will ever get to Lavell Edwards.

tacallaway

He should since he's coached 8 seasons. KY is still walking into resources

Polecat

Unfortunately that aspect of coaching isn't fair. Donors back who they like.
