How much will his recent health issue play into that?

I imagine head coaching is a lot more stressful than a coordinator position. Will schools want to wait a bit to see make sure he's in good shape to take on a higher stress role?

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

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.

RdF3

9/22/24 11:40pm

Because the defense was mostly inept until he became defensive coordinator

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

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

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

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

here's to hoping

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

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

Polecat

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.

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

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

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?

DJROSS

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

nbruin

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

This is probably the correct answer.

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

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
