Kalani being a mid recruiter is the most unexpected thing to happen to BYU football since Crowton was exposed as an

Tough to win as a recruiter when you ain't winning on the field. The yewts

Money is big for these kids. Utah has upped their NIL game. We need to keep up.

NIL investors are easier to secure following the results of their season too.

What are Utah players making vs BYU?

ochobeeguy

12/9/22 12:23am

Making or promising?

I seem to recall BYU being called out by a high-profile alum for not hiring enough Poly coaches.

Well, life is often a lot more complicated than the critics let on, isn't it?

SinkingQuffa

12/9/22 12:09am

Agree. I used it as a dig to Vai and the likes who complained and who DID mention that utah did a better job

The real & obvious problem in my mind is our hiring restrictions. It might be

Money trumps Polynesians Coaches for sure. Mater Dei, Boscoe, Gorman, USC, heck

Yup, I’d say winning and the perceived best opportunity

Vai said some foolish things and clearly didn't have much of a clue

Problem Kalani closing eyes to Tuiaki set BYU back at least 2 maybe 3 yrs.

Great coaches like KW don’t let this crap happen to the program.

Being an elite recruiter was what we expwcted. H3 is 100%,avg at best

The head coach is the closer, not the recruiter. One side of the ball totally mailed in recruiting and got fired

Buck stops with the boss. He owns the results.

shimmy

12/9/22 12:28am

…which is why he fired the problem.

Nothing like waiting too long

What year should have Tuiaki, Lamb, and Hadley been let go?

2017 - it was Clear the defense philosophy was broken then.

Swish

Was the money there to hire new defensive coaches?

LaserCoug

12/9/22 6:11am

Yes. You wouldn’t have had to spend a million plus for Hill either. Plenty of

After turning one good defense and one defense in the top half of the country despite zero help from the offense?

molodyets

In 2020 we started to see where the D was stealing offensive possessions...

How about the recruiting staff?

shimmy

12/9/22 5:01am

He got new ones this year

YIsForBrigham

12/9/22 5:31am

And your recruiting staff doesn’t matter if the actual coaches don’t do their job

molodyets

12/9/22 7:28am

He has been poor here. Vastly opposite of what we all expected….and it’s his

This is one reason why you should of canned Tuiaki middle of season...

The thing that concerns me, is that the vision and insight and ability to see

They all knew he wasn’t coming back but they didn’t have a replacement so they weren’t going to commit to nobody

molodyets

12/9/22 7:33am

No They didn't. I wasn't sure until the official announcement. When "family"

Creaturecow

12/9/22 7:43am

If you weren’t sure that’s your fault. Everybody in the building knew Lamb and Tuiaki would be gone

molodyets

12/9/22 7:46am

Kalani started making calls after the Arkansas game, so yeah.

Everybody in the building...I wasn't in the building...neither are most recruits

Creaturecow

12/9/22 11:25am

BYU wasn’t recruiting you and you have no connections in the AD

Jericho

If BYU was I would probably be committing to Utah that seems to be the pattern.
