Agreed. Irritates me that people keep touting the "BYU didn't get its first choice" narrative
despite the fact that TH never stated that KN was his first choice.

I'm pretty sure most BYU fans would disagree with this evaluation:

Nah, plenty of us are in "wait and see" mode.

What you said has nothing to do with the evaluation on there

I think Kalani was the first choice all along.

I've never been able to reconcile in my mind that Kalani was the top pick yet

An offer was made to Ken, but it had strings that Tom didn't expect Ken to be comfortable with.

Kenny's agent said as much

I don't trust Kenny's agent

I'm not sure that Ken N. ever got a job offer.

Low ball offer for PR sake of offering the most prominent LDS

That would be my only argument with the grade, as well.

Reid was obviously is first choice however unrealistic

Fine. I don't think KN was a higher priority than KS.

Yep, I think so too.

Mostly because they don't get the uniqueness of BYU, and how that hire can impact it.

I agree. Kalani is up there grade wise with Helton and USC.

Can't complain about being listed with the P5

I think there is some good leaked info that Ken N was not the #1 choice

Hey, they grouped us with the BCS schools, not with the "Group of 5"!

Sure. People don't really get BYU so their evaluations of things like this

The only problem I have is their idea that Sitake wasn't the first choice.

I heard 1280 talking about it earlier. Their take was that (1) Kalani was probably

My thoughts too. I agree that you could list him lower for lack of experience.

I second the thoughts about ranking lower because of inexperience

Kalani was the #1 choice, other than that I don't much care where they rank him

Ken N was not a fit for BYU. Not many are sad about the "2nd choice."

I don't think we can argue

Yep. I expect some pretty big growing pains.

I'd guess most Utes would disagree as well (re Sitake). Most I've talked to

That UVA got an A-? Yeah, I do take issue with that.

Considering UVa is a complete dump of a football program, they deserve an A but

They hired Bronco who promptly hired almost an entire staff of west coast

I am skeptical that he was really 2nd choice. Also Bronco being an A- minus seems high. If they are just analyzing the

I get why an outsider would see Sitake as a risk after having supposedly "whiffing" on KN. However, the author clearly

At least he was listed in the P5 Hire section of the article.

Much better to be a "C" that overachieves than an "A" that underachieves

No, for someone who doesn't know anything about BYU the ratings seem about right. If all the author knows about BYU is
