Could BYU simply just not afford a better coach at the time?

What Kalani just too committed to his friend?

All of the above?

He also hasn’t had the funding to bring in the coaching staff to do that. Big 12

I'd have to agree with that. I don't think we had the kind of money before

Doesn't it sound like a combination of both. Who likes firing friends

“Refused”

I don't know that refused is the right word. Big 12 cash changed how much he could offer to a great coach. Couple that

"Refused"? We don't know what resources the AD

I’ll concede refused may be a bit strong and BIG12 money made a huge difference.

I will always wonder just how good of an OC Detmer could have become.

I’m really glad we didn’t prolong that suffering. Worst cfb offense of all time

We extended Kalani. Enjoy Hill while he lasts, but he won’t be with us for long

It's true, but he's already in those positions. They are a step down in

We didn't have nearly the same resources then as we do now. We got Jay Hill

Had more to do with Big 12 timing. We don’t get Hill, Po’uahu w/o it
