What is the source of the conviction that Kalani has “had enough time” and

Because it's the same issues year after year. He is who he is

Poor recruiting. Very poor DL play for 8 years. Keeping poor coaches too long

"We need to look at the film." Yet team looks unprepared each week

TNT

Apr 5, 8:58am

Yep. Preach.

Idacoug

"Every week" is more than a bit of an exaggeration and certainly injuries,

Poor DL play for so many recruiting cycles is a key indictment

Families of top players haven't trusted KS with their sons' careers

Amen brother

Apr 5, 9:32am

except for the many top players that did. look at all those guys in the NFL

FieroCoug

Poor DL play traces back to one source, Tuiaki. That's been addressed. Recruiting is on the upswing especially

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 9:23am

So it took a HC 8 years to figure that out? That’s a fireable offense. Anything

Idacoug

Apr 5, 9:56am

8 years? Math issues much?

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 10:06am

Idacoug isn't good at much on CB, except trolling

NYC and Japan

Only took Kalani 8 years to figure that out? 😂

Idacoug

I can recommend some good toys that teach kids how to count. 👍🙂

C'mon that's just lazy.

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 9:23am

No. You have a search function. Use it. TNT isn't going to keep typing it all ou

TNT

Apr 5, 9:29am

Over 230,000 posts and now you have a problem typing something out? uh huh

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 9:32am

Why? You wouldn't believe it anyway

TNT

Apr 5, 9:33am

Why wouldn't I? Are they lies? I haven't been a Kalani apologist.

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 9:39am

No. You and TNT see things differently. And that's fine

TNT

Apr 5, 9:43am

I don't have a problem with that, but I have NO idea how you see things. So ...?

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 9:45am

Well search for it. TNT = most lazy but you are giving him a run for his money

TNT

Apr 5, 9:48am

Seriously? Easier for me to search your 233,000+ posts than to just give me your top 5 issues? smh

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 9:57am

Just search "kalani coach" or similar on TNT's profile

MarylandFan

Apr 5, 11:21am

Thanks, but those are all of the same generic crap. I asked him for specifics. Shouldn't be that hard.

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 11:26am

They're specific observations. I'm thinking TNT sniffed this out before me.

MarylandFan

Apr 5, 11:32am

Hahahaha that's what you call specific? Calling Kalani a lazy coach? smh Boardname definitely does not fit.

ManicBlue

This exhibits the one of the worst styles of discussion on here.

You did it again.

MarylandFan

Apr 5, 12:41pm

LOL ... smh. Evidently YOU didn't read past his headlines. I read them all. They are very superficial at best.

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 2:06pm

Agreed. I don't think we have a common understanding of the word "specific"

ManicBlue

Of course, and I loved this gem.

So you don't agree then? What's your plan? Oh right ... you don't have any ideas. Gotcha

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 3:55pm

Coug has had some fantastic posts about this in the past

TNT

Calling timeouts out of halftime or out of another timeout.

MarylandFan

Could say the same thing about Kiffin and Sark. Yet they improved.

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 8:57am

I disagree.

Idacoug

This is simple revisionism. It just isn’t true.

No it is true

Arguing with Idacoug, a troll, is pointless

I'd love to know if you'd be ok with him if we had double digit win seasons

Iki_Balam

Apr 5, 11:29am

So… do you stick with a lovable loser forever just in case he gets it?

Longseason

Apr 5, 8:57am

A lot of Byu fans have this attitude.

Idacoug

Apr 5, 8:58am

All is well in Zion

TNT

Apr 5, 8:59am

He’s no more a loser than Sark at this point in Sark’s career.

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 9:16am

This take has already been considered and isn’t comparable to Sitake’s situation

Longseason

In your mind, perhaps. Not in any reality.

I suppose if Sitake had a drinking problem

BlueFever

Remember the mess that was the locker room several seasons ago?

Yes, and that was another tell.

BlueFever

I'll counter your Sarkisian and Kiffin examples.

JJCoug

Apr 5, 9:02am

Kalani appears to have learned little from Whittingham

TNT

Apr 5, 9:03am

Or is unwilling to implement it.

shammy

Apr 5, 9:08am

Problem is they’ve been trying to implement KWhit’s style but BYU isn’t Utah

palangi

Apr 5, 9:24am

You mean recruiting felons kicked off other teams?

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 9:49am

Who did Saban learn from? How did he go from Kalani (@ MSU) to Saban the Great?

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 9:08am

As I admitted, I don't know his story as well as the others.

JJCoug

Apr 5, 9:15am

Kalani’s HC philosophy is similar to LaVell’s. Be a players coach. But that

Short_Changed

Apr 5, 9:22am

I think I agree with this. Both are examples of how it isn’t the same problems

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 9:24am

The best case that can be made is that you must move around to get better

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 9:23am

So many CB'ers assume that we have (or should have) a Top 15 team every year

darkcoug

Apr 5, 9:24am

Mediocre coach + HC + high academic standards = mediocre results.

Traveshamockery

Apr 5, 9:07am

25% of his seasons are the two worst in 50+ years. He sucks at clock and timeout management, getting his team up for all

byuTX

Apr 5, 9:13am

That doesn’t really answer the question. Why no chance of improvement

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 9:15am

Nobody knows the future but you can infer using the power of sight/logic, not just watch the film and love one another

byuTX

Apr 5, 9:26am

Sounds like same attitude that KS used to keep Tuiaki on staff far too long.

bluesloth

Apr 5, 9:27am

That's just good comedy

TNT

Apr 5, 9:34am

No chance of improvement? What is the threshold of number of years coached

BLT-Coug

Apr 5, 9:40am

Are you ignoring the Gary Crowton Years? Not only were '02-'04 worse,

Apr 5, 11:09am

Not to mention that he almost literally killed the football program.

Gary didn't, some stupid players, a remorseful girl and some ALUFs did.

How long should a school hang on to a coach just because there are a few

bluesloth

Apr 5, 9:15am

Depends on what its options are and how much it believes in the chances

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 9:30am

My counter argument: You saw a drive and strong will to win with those other

mudpupper

Apr 5, 9:19am

Sark & Lane have moved around a LOT

Apr 5, 9:21am

Like I said, that’s probably the best argument there is

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 9:31am

No. It's called passion to improve and be better than you currently are

Apr 5, 9:35am

Since being hired Kalani has made a lot of changes. A lot a lot. You aren't

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 11:44am

kalani is a great face for the program. He has an average to good OC and had a lousy DC. He has supposedly upgraded the

BYU Grounds

Apr 5, 9:34am

Kalani doesn't seem to improve unless he's forced to improve.

greatbam

Apr 5, 9:46am

TNT is pretty certain Holmoe forced Kalani to address the Tuaiki situation

TNT

Apr 5, 9:48am

Has Saban, Kiffin, or Sark EVER gone for it on 4th and 19 from their own 5?

UMWolverine

Apr 5, 11:50am

TLDR: Socrates is ok with bad coaching because “he might become good”

So let me get this straight, you want to stay with a person, any person really

kimdaddy35

I merely asked for evidence of the contrary view. I didn’t say there is no limit

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 2:00pm

Your argument is 100% a strawman argument and that is your response? Good

kimdaddy35

Apr 5, 2:07pm

What are you talking about? I didn't make an argument. I asked why people are so

Socrates Johnson

Apr 5, 4:02pm

If your best argument for keeping Kalani is he MIGHT get better, then his resume

RE: If your best argument for keeping Kalani is he MIGHT get better, then his resume

ManicBlue

Apr 5, 3:02pm

That wasn't his argument at all. He was merely asking a question which nobody can adequately answer.

Not assessing Kalani specifically...but the existence of exceptions doesn't make everything an exception
