I have no doubt Whittingham has always had a hands-on role with Utah's defense (they're running his system after all) but that doesn't mean guys like Kalani were just figureheads when holding the DC title.
I get that we're all very frustrated by the way this season has gone and the buck stops with the Head Coach if you're looking for ultimate blame but I don't how see how this attack on Kalani's resume helps the team moving forward.
