I think you're right. Kalani could have been a good HC, but he needed to hire well in order to get there.

Here is my theory and I don't think it's too crazy. Kalani was never actually a good defensive mind. He is an

He has the tools to be a good HC if he can learn from his mistakes this season

Kalani is not a leader. He may be a great guy, he may be charismatic

Based on what?

Based on how this team has flopped whenever there is any adversity this year.

You can learn to be a leader a lot easier than you can learn to be charismatic in my experience

Respectfully disagree, it’s a born characteristic and innate ability in my opinion

Is Bronco a leader?

I believe he is. Bronco and other football coaches who are leaders would not only

I think Bronco is a leader as well. But I do think he has put a ton of time and

I do agree with that. But most leaders seem to put a lot of time and energy into

I agree with that. And I definitely haven't seen that type of drive or

I agree. He knows there is a problem, but he has no idea how to fix it.

I don't know if he does have the tools to be a great HC. He doesn't have any

What tools are those?

Organization ability, discipline with

Missing, yes. I was wondering what tools darkcoug thinks KS does have.

You may be right or you may be wrong but what has happened so far in his career

I've said multiple times that Sitake has never proven himself as a coordinator.

Just because your brother played for him doesn't change the fact that he has

Oh I get th@t and I agree 100% with you..just adding information from someone

CarolinaCoug

11/18/17 8:56pm

Thanks for clarifying. I don't doubt Sitake can be a good coach in some position

cougaman

I think you've nailed it. Sadly

It all depends on how adaptable and malleable he is.

Yeah, I don't think this can even be disputed anymore.

Nick Howell is to Bronco as Kalani was to Whittingham.

Not even close

GOR

11/18/17 10:36pm

Sooo Kalani was the Milli Vanilli of Utah's defense?

Seasider

11/18/17 9:00pm

So the offensive coordinators are just figure heads, but the defensive coordinators (Kyle's specialty)

Pimpin4Paradise

11/18/17 9:03pm

What are you talking about?

Seasider

11/18/17 9:05pm

Seems more and more likely doesn't it?

jkccoug

11/18/17 9:13pm

Here's the really crazy part. Kalani isn't even a great recruiter. He's so

Ocho Cuatro

11/18/17 10:04pm

Way too early to conclude he isn't a great recruiter

GOR

11/18/17 10:37pm

Could be. We need him to be successful. We need him to be LaVell-esque in that

I'd rather have the right minds around somebody who truly knows what they're doing.
