Reach a bowl game next year and you get to stay. That's how I feel.

At byu 3 years means you won’t get to use

If you’re going to give a regular coach 3 years, you’d better give BYU’s 5

If there isn't significant improvement by Year 3, he's likely not a good coach

So a human (coach) is static in value and value is absolutely win to loss ratio?

Wait, Kalani is getting lessons from Holmoe on how to run this? Yikes. You know

Hmm, it didn't say that at all. The lesson is taught by life in both instances.

Snark at the wrong time is bad manners...despite being an online forum.

Every coach should have a few years to get his guys and his system in place.
