It seemed like much of what Kenny's agent said was more to improve negotiations with Navy then to actually try and get the job with BYU.

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.

El Jefe

2/11/16 2:55pm

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

delux_247

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

El Jefe

Kenny's agent said as much

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

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

molodyets

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

I agree, I think they courted Ken for public relations reasons but from the

Agreed. Irritates me that people keep touting the "BYU didn't get its first choice" narrative

Reid was obviously is first choice however unrealistic

jpv

2/12/16 8:43am

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

Harrison0Yfan

2/12/16 12:59pm

Yep, I think so too.

jpv

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.

RaggaeCoug

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"!

darkcoug

2/11/16 2:57pm

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

YIsForBrigham

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

RaggaeCoug

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

Byron McNertney

2/11/16 2:59pm

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

byumac

2/11/16 4:45pm

I second the thoughts about ranking lower because of inexperience

Archaea

2/11/16 4:54pm

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

kimdaddy35

2/11/16 3:00pm

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

byusage

2/11/16 3:01pm

I don't think we can argue

darkcoug

2/11/16 3:01pm

Yep. I expect some pretty big growing pains.

The quote from the Illinois AD is a classic

wapiti

2/11/16 3:05pm

I think it's a fair assessment

gww687

2/11/16 3:06pm

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

delux_247

2/11/16 3:07pm

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

ChubbyChaser

2/11/16 3:13pm

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

Bluedomination

2/11/16 3:19pm

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

ChubbyChaser

2/11/16 3:22pm

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

That is part of my issue

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

CalGTR

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

I think signing day showed us something. Other than that, who knows?

Whiff + a billion. Huge impact to BYU FB.

BluebloodOR

2/11/16 3:59pm

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

Are you referring to this part?

Interesting metrics. They measure KS similar to Helton...on excitement meter

I would give Virginia a B/B+ and BYU a C+

I agree to some degree. I think Bronco was a good hire from where Virginia

I would but I also noticed BYU was listed with the P5 schools

I think I read that one. It's understandable...
