You have to at least be a player in the race for the conference title.

So you have to be top 25 every year? BYU hasn’t been that in 30 years

Don't have to be Top 25 every year, but we're at 2 Top 25 seasons in 15 years

Getting “BYU guys” to stay at BYU is a VERY low bar of “success” to coaching…

I never said it was the bar, I said it was indicator that he is likely doing a better job than CBers care to believe.

BYU has been the fall back position when LDS players don't pan out at other places.

It’s ok to admit that KS is both a great guy, rep of church, but not a good HC

Frankfromtheballpark

I think that is my point. If he wasn't a good HC, you'd likely be seeing more player attrition, no?

Nope. It’s not like we have a lot of guys with options elsewhere…

Kalani is only as good as his assistants. We have a mediocre OC.

BostonCougar

And he is only as good as his ability to find decent assistants

It’s not just elite vs inept. Kalani can be in the middle and be an amazing guy

MrSandman

Being a good likeable person is not the same as being a good coach.

Not hard. I have to answer why I think Bagnah wasn't that good.

kimdaddy35

Bagnah? Why are you making a comparison like that. Just because he had more sacks than Bagnah doesn't make your point.

TheLoneCougar
