It may or may not be true but complaining endlessly on cougarboard is definitely not going to make anything any better.

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

It’s a vocal minority and it is exhausting

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.

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

RGGeemer

It was definitely unexpected and a reach by Kentucky

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

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

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

RGGeemer

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

.679 vs .598 win %

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

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

Maybe we should have given Tuiaki a chance too

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

Nope. I want him gone.

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

DeepCCoug

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

He doesn't get me excited about BYU fotball. That is the litmus test for me

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

here's to hoping

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

He’s already been given more time than most college coaches get. It’s amazing

I've muted football here. The entitled fans are really annoying.

It’s not new. It’s more pronounced following an awful year

cajuncoug

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

Brandoblueblood

All the Ute fans I know hope Kalani stays here a long time.

I'm sure they do.

It's really hot and humid living in a spa, but I'm doing the best I can.

on the other hand, maybe some cold therapy would be good for them

niqmadu

I think that's true. I'm usually in a better mood when I'm not too hot.
