Doubt Utah outbids for Hill, they don't have superior funds anymore

They will have the same B12 contract terms in a year. More likely is Whit retires and Hill becomes the new HC. Hope they hire Scalley instead because losing Hill would be brutal. Not sure who else they could hire at DC that would make up for loss of Hill.

BYU is never going to be a title contender

Apr 5, 6:31am

You have to at least be a player in the race for the conference title.

So you have to be top 25 every year? BYU hasn’t been that in 30 years

If they aren't then fan support will slowly wane.

maYbe

Apr 5, 7:30am

It’s pretty good for not doing that for 30 years

Don't have to be Top 25 every year, but we're at 2 Top 25 seasons in 15 years

No, everyone did not "poo poo the hire of TJ Woods as another lazy hire of a mediocre OL coach"

Getting “BYU guys” to stay at BYU is a VERY low bar of “success” to coaching…

I never said it was the bar, I said it was indicator that he is likely doing a better job than CBers care to believe.

BYU has been the fall back position when LDS players don't pan out at other places.

Apr 5, 12:32pm

It’s ok to admit that KS is both a great guy, rep of church, but not a good HC

Frankfromtheballpark

Apr 5, 7:24am

I think that is my point. If he wasn't a good HC, you'd likely be seeing more player attrition, no?

Apr 5, 11:15am

Nope. It’s not like we have a lot of guys with options elsewhere…

That is not true at all. The majority of our starters would be able to transfer to another school and get meaningful

Which impactful players are you referring to?

Kalani is only as good as his assistants. We have a mediocre OC.

Apr 5, 8:11am

And he is only as good as his ability to find decent assistants

Apr 5, 10:57am

and the OC is at least as undisciplined and unorganized as Kalani

Based on this analysis, what % of coaches are doing a good job?

It’s not just elite vs inept. Kalani can be in the middle and be an amazing guy

MrSandman

Apr 5, 8:38am

I said an indicator and at no point said he was amazing. Also, the OP is targeting to those who feel he is terrible.

Being a good likeable person is not the same as being a good coach.

AltTabbins

Apr 5, 9:33am

100% the point I am making. If you were a D1 talented player, would you stay because your coach was just likable?

How do you not get it: You are calling a kid a star in the making the has played a grand total of 5 games?

Not hard. I have to answer why I think Bagnah wasn't that good.

kimdaddy35

Apr 5, 10:43pm

Bagnah? Why are you making a comparison like that. Just because he had more sacks than Bagnah doesn't make your point.

Apr 6, 12:05am

I would love to see those statistics that you just made up.

kimdaddy35

Apr 6, 1:10am

I never made up a single statistic. Do you see a number or percentage anywhere in my post?
