And the offense is still not looking great(serviceable but not great despite some individual great talent on that side of the ball) but d is playing lights out.

Hope the heart attack was blessing in disguise, and Hill decides he doesn't need

no, they would offer to pay him a lot of money to stay as DC

It will happen if we keep winning this year

TLCougar

Agreed. Let's hope he doesn't take any coaches or players with him.

Why are some so quick to give Hill all the credit? Kalani is the current head coach.

People love to blame Kalani when things are bad, then give him no credit if

True, but there is still a weakness on offense so until that looks solved the

Kalani is still overseeing everything from recruiting to strength and

Plus Hill is LDS and was right up the road. It was a no-brainer to offer him.

Not disparaging Sitake at all

Our recruiting is turning around, and recruits, even defensive recruits

JOPE

9/22/24 11:46pm

It only took ks eight years to start recruiting almost good enough. Extend him!

here's to hoping

9/23/24 1:46am

Our recruiting this year is either at the bottom or near the bottom in

At the bottom of the Big 12? So, just like every other program who moves up to

Can you break down why you expected Kalani to recruit like a P4 without being

Can you break down why you thought Kalani would recruit like Tulane when he

9/23/24 10:56am

My honest opinion is that he was so hands off to the extent that the program and

Polecat

9/23/24 11:29am

So recruiting was horrible because Kalani didn't care enough to do his job?

kimdaddy35

9/23/24 11:38am

Then Kalani needed to install the program he wanted rather than let Ed Lamb do

CameronG

9/23/24 12:27pm

I didn't expect him to recruit like a P4.

here's to hoping

9/23/24 11:28am

I posted above that it’s highly plausible that Kalani utilized Ed Lamb’s style

Excuses. Money isn't the issue. It's lack of effort from the staff

BYU isn't putting any more money into the program than what they already had.

KS doesn't even understand the basics of how the game is played.

Just stop with nonsense like this.

Show me a video of Kalani breaking down film. Go on.

You still can't refute my argument that we need depth at RB.

Moa is our 5th string RB. We just beat KSU playing our 4th, 5th and 6th RBs.

9/23/24 12:00am

Retire. Make Kalani AD. Promote Jay Hill to HC

Dr MoBYU

9/23/24 12:00am

I actually think KS would be a really good AD. But he wouldn't make $4M/yr...

YankeeCoug

9/23/24 11:56am

Probably he’s set by now. I’d hope and he could ride off into the sunset.

Why do people get their undies in a bunch worrying about dumb things they can't control?

The hope would be that a) we keep Hill as DC & then b) Kalani realizes

How about the Dude just had a heart attack, we know nothing about his family situation with wife and kids and relatives

DJROSS

9/23/24 7:15am

People are saying Kalani has no coaching tree if he goes then that is good

nbruin

9/23/24 7:39am

What happens next year when Scalley hires Hill as his DC?

CrimsonCardinal

9/23/24 7:55am

Then Hill would keep his spot as next BYU HC. Might even accelerate the timeline

9/23/24 8:51am

This is probably the correct answer.

Why would he take that? I think BYU has better resources going forward and

How much will his recent health issue play into that?

We lose Hill. The better Hill does, the more untouchable Sitake becomes.

We just pay Hill more than Sitake.

Kalani Sitake is accountable for BYU's record. For better or worse. Absurd to credit Hill for the wins, not losses.

We lost the last 5 games of last season. Exactly zero of those losses are the fault of Hill for some reason. Apparently
