Section31 Coug 3rd String

People can grow, and the best-case scenario for BYU is that Kalani keeps growing. 7-0 this year doesn't invalidate past mistakes but it's pretty hard to argue that he's finding some things that are working well.

In regard to Connor Pay's comments WHERE was our head coach?

He was firing the underperforming employee and replacing him with a stud.

Calling out Gundy. Wasn't expecting that.

That's a HUGE indictment of previous OL coach. Connor doesn't sugar-coat it.

cougarmeister

That's a HUGE indictment of the head coach.

gopman

yeah, some of both, makes you wonder what the OL coach was doing

Projectoor

I think it's an indictment of how he handled that situation, yes.

cougarmeister

You mean our 7-0 head coach...lol at the hand wringing from last year

The Chief

9:27am

7-0 this year doesn't make him immune to criticism.

cougarmeister

10:09am

That's lost on ALL the Kalani defenders.

gopman

10:52am

He's our coach...why wouldn't everyone defend a 7-0 coach that is ranked 11th?

The Chief

11:05am

Because, even though we're undefeated, we aren't leading the league in rebounds too. Winning is great.. but we have to

HarlemCoug

11:09am

because somehow, apparently, its possible to be better than 7-0

cruiserhead

11:54am

Yeah for sure. His oline coach was bad. That's fairly clear.

11:04am

You CAN do both be excited for the year (thank you Jay Hill!) AND

The defense sucked vs OK St. Maybe we should fire Jay Hill?

Exactly - gopman give us one staff move Kalani is CURRENTLY messing up

I mean he literally fired the dude and brought in a replacement. Done deal.

So you're criticizing Gundy as well?

Do you believe that Kalani is equivalent to Kiby Smart as a head coach?

By your own logic, if a position coach isn't very good it is an indictment against the HC yes? Sounds like UGA has
