It’s easy to look at Bronco’s success at UVA and romanticize what was/could have been if he remained at BYU.
But we all experienced the Bronco era, and the same things that are being posted now about Kalani were being posted about Bronco. The program had grown stagnant and the fanbase restless. But the way CB gushes about him now you’d think we had let Nick Saban go.
Kalani came in as an outsider hire with no prior HC experience or experience coaching at BYU. He was given an OC that was coaching 3A high school ball in Texas the year prior, and a bunch of assistants that had little to no coaching experience. Yes, there was going to be a learning curve.
And there is no need for speculation when it comes to resources between BYU and UVA. One is willing to pony up and pay market value for a quality coach and assistants, the other is not. It is also not speculation that BYU has much more restrictive admission requirements. It is simply a fact. So not sure how that is clouded reality or my reality for that matter.
