So it seems like a thing now to hate on Kalani? The negativity is exhausting.

It is exhausting that some on here have accepted his results. His predecessor

kimdaddy35

Aug 2, 10:19am

Now factor in that the predecessor had the most success in the first half

donnerstag

Aug 2, 11:14am

now factor in that his predecessor said "If I were to be really blunt about it, I took [BYU] as far as I could"

Then he went on to do worse than he'd done at BYU.

You guys will never not have an excuse.

2016 is probably Sitake's best year.

BlueFever

2016 team had a good defense

donnerstag

Aug 2, 12:20pm

They were elite against garbage teams. I would put the talent of the 2016

kimdaddy35

Aug 2, 12:30pm

There's no question the 2016 team had more talent on defense

donnerstag

Aug 2, 12:55pm

Was 2020 that good on offense? The defenses they faced other than CC were awful

kimdaddy35

Aug 2, 1:00pm

Your lone argument is a game that BYU didn't have prep time for

donnerstag

Aug 2, 1:05pm

Those teams all beat good teams. The 2020 team did not. And to specify I am

kimdaddy35

What good team did the 2016 team beat?

slatecoug

That is a fair question, as I recall the schedule was pretty good but I would

kimdaddy35

Aug 2, 2:33pm

The 2016 team was 3-3 against P5, and the losses were all close.

BlueFever

Aug 2, 12:43pm

You need a little more analysis than the team 3-3 against P5

donnerstag

Aug 2, 1:02pm

lol.

BlueFever

Aug 2, 1:38pm

No. The 2020 team crushed its opponents by 4 TDs on average

donnerstag

Aug 2, 1:46pm

It doesn't matter what your data says.

BlueFever

Aug 2, 2:54pm

It actually does matter what the data says

donnerstag

Aug 2, 3:02pm

Funny coming from you that thinks Kalani's wins/losses, average finish rank, SOS

kimdaddy35

Aug 2, 3:11pm

The data doesn't overrule what was seen on the field.

BlueFever

Aug 2, 3:13pm

How did you get to the labels of good and bad for that schedule?

donnerstag

Aug 2, 3:53pm

ALL of your data is subjective, not facts, so it's pointless for you to

BlueFever

No. Margin of victory and NFL draft picks are facts

and to have it before the season even starts is asinine.

Remember 1 year ago when everyone was wanting to fire Pope?

RGGeemer

Aug 2, 10:10am

The vast majority of fans did not want to fire Pope. Also Kalani is not Pope.

tacallaway

Aug 2, 10:16am

Nobody expected UK to take Pope haha even after our awesome year. There were

RGGeemer

Aug 2, 10:18am

It was definitely unexpected and a reach by Kentucky

tacallaway

Aug 2, 10:22am

That's my point. 1 year can change everything. Pope would NOT have been

RGGeemer

Aug 2, 11:05am

But Pope had a much better resume coming into the B12 than Kalani.

tacallaway

Aug 2, 11:15am

Did he? Took 5th in the WCC. 0 ncaa tournament wins (still even now). Kalani

RGGeemer

Aug 2, 11:19am

Pope's best resume bullet for UK was winning the ncaa championship as a player

RGGeemer

Aug 2, 11:20am

.679 vs .598 win %

tacallaway

Aug 2, 11:33am

I'm just saying, let's see what happens. Stop piling on our own team/coach.

RGGeemer

Aug 2, 11:34am

I just want accountability. I'd love for Sitake to be successful.

tacallaway

Aug 2, 11:44am

Maybe we should have given Tuiaki a chance too

Huge Manatee

Aug 2, 10:10am

Yes we should ignore 8 years of data because we changed conferences.

kimdaddy35

Aug 2, 10:13am

I'll admit I'm critical of Kalani but I want him to turn it around

CameronG

Aug 2, 10:17am

Nope. I want him gone.

BYU handled that issue extremely poorly. It was a bad mistake and they know it.

I agree but my point is it was a long time ago. I’d let it go if it were me

Are people condemning him based off one season, or his whole body of work? If

His past performance is not opinion or speculation. He wasn't good enough before

If 2020 and 2021 finishes (in independence nonetheless) weren’t good enough then

A lot of the "haters" are actually just BYU haters (AKA Yewts)

Brandoblueblood

I'm sure they do.
