How would you describe Kalani's defensive philosophy during that stretch, having been a DC at two P4 programs previously?

Maybe you were one of the loud Tuiaki defenders, but that horrid stint was embarrassing and disastrous for recruiting.

Yep, we wanted a HC that would get a good DC. If he hadn't of, we still would.

Well he did mastermind some of the worst BYU football teams in the last 50 years

Two. And keeping Tuiaki 4 years too long was coaching malpractice. I’m pumped he seems to have figured things out. Next

Bronco left because of that environment (Indy) and starting play in the B12 was very difficult too.

What is KS' defensive concept without Hill?

Uh, he hired him and they design the team together, including recruiting strategy. That's how coaching works

Nice dodge. He had no concept of a successful D at OSU nor here pre-Hill

Not mocking the woeful years, just that it still haunts certain people.

I think Kalani recruited and hired him into the culture and program he envisioned with new budget available, if I'm not

So grateful for visionary, stable, insightful leadership, who knew a whole lot more about what was going on
