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

There was no reason to keep him on other than he was best buds with him. But that’s well in the past now.

Where Are All The Kalani Haters Now?

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.

And yet the same people who wanted Tuiaki fired in 2021 wanted ARod fired in

By all objectionable metrics, Kalani has proven to only be mediocre as a HC

Tons of funny stuff in here, but the Grimes part might be the best

No this season is proving that he should have fired Tuiaki years earlier

He deserved criticism for losing games, however he did not deserve much of the

No, he does not deserve all the criticism he gets.

I’m giving him credit. He hired Jay Hill that is Big! One of the great hires in

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?

5 years too late? YEAH, that guy.

Who hired TJ Woods and the consultants the team is utilizing? And the new S&C

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

SUAVO

10:03am

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

byuTX

10:05am

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

SUAVO

10:13am

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

10:20am

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

You know why Funk was hired?

Zombre

10:31am

Blame for the bad and credit for the good

10:33am

Correct

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

Polecat

10:16am

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

byuTX

10:36am

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

bluesloth

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

There was definitely more than one. Quite a few would, like yourself, didn't

You’re freaking crazy if you thought I wasn’t cheering for Kalani and would rather have had a horrible season. That’s

You just posted that. "I'd prefer to have a couple bad seasons and start over

Nobody wants KS not to SUCCEED. We want him not to SUCK.
