Hey wait aren’t you the guy who said before the KSU game that our non-LJ RBs are

a bunch of bums and if not it would have been obvious by now?

And then Moa and Nawahine both went off for 5 YPC against one of the couple best defenses in the B12, a week after Haunga went off for 7 YPC? And then you responded by saying you still wish we would have gone for a JUCO RB in the off season, as though this is 1998 and good JUCO RBs are still a thing?

And you think Kalani is the ignorant one?

Just like in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. Someone else always steps up.

You're right, any coach and any player will do in the Big 12. See Houston.

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

Sep 23, 5:59am

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

RdF3

Sep 22, 11:40pm

Because the defense was mostly inept until he became defensive coordinator

Cougarbib

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

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

Sep 23, 10:53am

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

Sure.

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
