What was he supposed to address with defensive coaching? Go look at 2020 and 2021 and tell me the conservative leadership at BYU is firing anyone with those results. That said Tuiaki should have been out the door after the 2022 Arkansas game.

Look, he deserved all the criticism he got. He also deserves a ton of credit

He didn’t deserve for people to forget 2020 and 2021, but this season is proving those seasons weren’t a mirage.

2021 defensively was horrible. Look at the stats. Offense was historic great.

I was/am a Kalani doubter. He is doing fantastic this year. I will forgive an inevitable let down.

He fired them already

Still here, hoping we don't lose Jay Hill who orchestrated this turn around

Yup. This is all about Jay Hill.

Do you mean the guy he added to the coaching staff?

You can't blame a guy for hiring one person and not credit him for hiring

SUAVO

But you can blame him for holding on to his Buddy and tanking the D for 5 years too long

Exactly, so if you blame him for that you have to credit him for all the good

SUAVO

Correct. Which we do. Good DC hire for sure

OL coach has been just as important of a hire. Has turned some Olineman around

SUAVO

Too bad he hired a disaster OL coach before the current OL coach

You know why Funk was hired?

Blame for the bad and credit for the good

Correct

Of course then you’d have to explain your definition of tank because the

Tank the program from where it was. Even sitake knows he messed up. Or do you disagree with his decision to fire Tuiaki?

byuTX

10:19am

You just said the defense tanked for 5 seasons. I responded with a remark

Polecat

10:30am

Ok thanks. You know what I meant. The D underperformed & Tuiaki needed to go. Surprised you disagree with Sitake’s move

Kalani is a CEO. He gets credit for his staff.

Who hired Hill?

Amen. A lot of haters on this board. He’s been great and he has my full support

Don’t think there are many actual haters. Most fans with concerns about Kalani

There seemed to be a fair amount that didn't want him to succeed so they could

There were none of those

There was one, and he’s literally blind. I’d prefer to have a couple bad seasons and restart than be stuck in perpetual

His biggest criticism is and has always been his failure to fire Tuiaki.
