He first earned his reputation by being a great defensive coordinator. It's not all just culture. Yes, he's a man of very high character. But he also knows his stuff.

Culture (Lavell Edwards style)

And relationships

That was my first thoughts

Edwards was cerebral and rarely danced.

It's the accountability along with the other things. He creates team players.

Batty and Pay talked about this in their interviews as well

Telling really suspenseful stories?

Wise guys on CB hate the "love and learn" culture. It's weird.

Belboz

12/30/24 1:32pm

I think you're right. The team seems to have bought in. But like Connor Pay

BlueFever

And culture may be the most important part of a program in todays world

whoneedscorners?

12/30/24 1:38pm

The problem is that Culture only gets you 5 wins when a couple key LBers go down

stoils

Yeah, and he's not exactly hiding the ball on that

I think if you build a strong enough culture, the rest will follow.

Culture eats strategy for breakfast…

I think the culture is the biggest thing that can sustain BYU in today's culture

I think all Kalani lacked prior to Jay Hill was an enforcer of that Culture.

There's no Anderson listed on the coaching staff, there's an Justin Anderson

basman

12/30/24 3:16pm

Gary Anderson. I think he plays a bigger role than his title.

RJCOD

12/30/24 4:17pm

IMO KS’s 2 biggest weaknesses early on were lack of discipline among players and

I think you skipped the main one....

cajuncoug

12/30/24 3:22pm

$$ was a program limitation he had to deal with but not a personal failing.

BleedCougarBlue2

12/30/24 6:47pm

Indeed it was. It correlates heavily with your 2nd contention

cajuncoug

12/31/24 2:17am

It seems Prime is learning some of the same lessons- discipline and assistants

Hammurabi

12/31/24 6:16am

I don't need an Xs and Os HC, so long as he is able to be the CEO and manage the right coaches that have those strengths

Preppy

12/30/24 3:36pm

Essentially, the program will live or die with the ability to get coaches like JH.

Preppy

12/30/24 3:37pm

I am completely opposite. How many great HC’s aren’t great at

I had the opportunity to spend a few minutes with him when they came to camp this fall and he told me that

Whatever Kalani’s actually doing, he’s proving to everyone that it works.

BlueDiver

This was obvious to me from day one and why I have always supported and believed

Same, and also plainly obvious from day one that CB has always been full of
