3 weeks ago you were saying TFD and the offensive staff deserved another year???

-Personally I wanted Ty to be able to stick it out and to see this young inexperienced staff learn through its trials. I wanted another year b/c I believe Ty was courted, wooed and incentivized to come to BYU, (but not by Kalani). Package deal. Compete Autonomy given to Kalani, I don’t think he makes that choice. Ty received a hefty sum, that’s why you saw inexperience elsewhere IMO. That’s why ty struggled, needed more help and the vision that TH and Kalani had was to over correct on the old bronco regime and go the “family” route

Now your realizing and talking about how bad his offense was and how unqualified he was? And your advocating bringing back most of the other offensive assistants who helped run said offense for continuity purposes?

- I spoke about the offense being bad all year Brother..all year... posted so many of these underperformance pieces...it was a topic of conversation all year! I just hate seeing Ty fail and the position we put him on was unfair to him, and lo a behold RADIO SILENCE from above.. why do you think that is?

I believe Ty deserved an opportunity to figure it out because of the position he was put in (he put himself in to), with it being a contract year for espn though, I don’t think Tom/Kalani could take that chance despite guarantees of contracts.



And since you like to talk so much about byu's lack of dedication to student athletes why don't you look into the resources that have been allocated? Didn't byu in fact add several administrative positions to support the football program when Kalani was hired? All I know is we have Ah You, Dumani, Ofa, and several others that used to be only 1-2 positions.

- three new positions were made, I don’t think we have done a good enough job of mentoring, life coaching and holding the young men accountable from these positions no doubt. Either find the right “fit” initially to help avoid attrition... or baby sit them through the program, that’s my philosophy.

Lastly can you please break down the defensive woes more. Seems like Sitake is deflecting blame on the offense and not addressing the defense? Isn't he a defensive coach? I'm trying to understand why our defense looks so vanilla when Utah's is so aggressive? Obviously part of it is personnel, but that can't fully explain our lack of sophistication and blitzing schemes. Our lbs line up awfully far off the line even on third and short, for example? I hear from Tuiski and Sitake that they are being conservative to not give up big plays because they don't trust the offense. Seems odd to continue that philosophy when you're already 3-7. And in the same week Sitake is talking about being more aggressive Tuiaki is talking about why he doesn't want to blitz more????


- Biggest issue was the give away’s and 20 plus short fileds the offense gave up. That puts us at 125th in fbs for give aways . Defense wasn’t good but as you can see from above, they overperfomed vs. the average multiple times.

Also, Two most inportants stats imo are

-Scoring defense 48th 24.7 PPG
-Red zone defense 63rd

(Opponents entered red zone
53 times and scored 44 times
Only gave up 17 TD’s (21st in FBS) tho
Gave up 27 FG’s)

BYU’s offense gave up 27 TO’s 19 int 8 fumbles

Total Defense 48th 372.8 ypg
Rush defense 45th 147 ypg
Pass defense 48th 372 ypg
3rd down conversions 81st 40%
4th down conversions 89th 56%


The defense played well enough to get you to 7-8 wins IMO. Fresno, UMASS and even Utah
