to be Kalani's successor if/when he steps down.

That probably won't work because they are both the same age.

Maybe Hill's cardiologist will prescribe remaining at BYU as part of ongoing treatment.

What does Holmoe do if Hill becomes so good that he is getting

Back up a brinks truck to get him to stay.

Kalani and Jay Hill are very close friends. And head coaches that are winning

so without Jay Hill, where would we be?

I think he gave Hill full credit

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

Jasbo

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.

Sep 22, 11:40pm

Because the defense was mostly inept until he became defensive coordinator

I think u might want to check rankings of offenses. Ours has been pretty

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

Hill was unimpressive year 1. Very impressive now.

I disagree that he was unimpressive. His results where unimpressive but he

nobody is impressive when you lack talent and you install a brand new system

deliciousmocha

He failed in holding existing roster together and holding that recruiting class

Cougarbib

9:11am

If that’s your definition of failure I’ll take it. You don’t revamp a defense as bad as 2022 in one season.

Longhaul

10:02am

Actually, many do. Especially after a rebuilding season. They retain players,

Cougarbib

10:53am

This comment suggests you have no idea how bad it really was. Hill will prove to be what saves Kalani's job.

unctoothman

10:55am

Sure.

There were signs last year of the defense hustling, making plays

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

TLCougar

Sep 22, 11:46pm

Maybe. And if he leaves we can start bragging about Kalani’s coaching tree

Cougarbib

2:13am

How many guys from Kalani's tree have left for a promotion?

CameronG

Grimes got a better job at the time. This would be a 2nd one. And now that

Considering success really only counts if the guy goes elsewhere and thrives, then right now it's at 0. Which seems low

unctoothman

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

JOPE

Sep 22, 11:46pm

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

here's to hoping

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

Polecat

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

here's to hoping

11:28am

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

And any KS defender will try to assign blame else where but give KS props for

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.

U defeated your own argument. And boosters will be eating it up if the

Serious…. If you do not see the impact of Jay Hill, no need to try to explain

Where have you been the last 8 years?

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

Just stop with nonsense like this.

You should delete this.

Why? Because you can't refute his point?

If we start having coaches leave because this is place leads to promotions, then we attract better talent

Let’s have a winning record in conference first

Reasonable1

12:00am

Retire. Make Kalani AD. Promote Jay Hill to HC

Dr MoBYU

12:00am

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

YankeeCoug

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?

You mean like football games that you aren't playing in?

You get your undies in a bunch over those too? Wow, I'll bet you can relly hit the high notes. How's your BP?

DJROSS

Agree. Edwards was not highly paid and stayed until he was done coaching.

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

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

This is probably the correct answer.

How much will his recent health issue play into that?

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

This is the truth.

We just pay Hill more than Sitake.

That's what he SHOULD do, but probably won't, and we'll lose Hill.
