Ken N was not a fit for BYU. Not many are sad about the "2nd choice."
But I would guess they would have given Ken an A or A-.

I'm pretty sure most BYU fans would disagree with this evaluation:

What you said has nothing to do with the evaluation on there

I would've be disappointed with the so called "first choice"

I think Kalani was the first choice all along.

besides Reid of course.

I've never been able to reconcile in my mind that Kalani was the top pick yet

An offer was made to Ken, but it had strings that Tom didn't expect Ken to be comfortable with.

Kenny's agent said as much

I'm not sure that Ken N. ever got a job offer.

Low ball offer for PR sake of offering the most prominent LDS

That would be my only argument with the grade, as well.

I agree, I think they courted Ken for public relations reasons but from the

Agreed. Irritates me that people keep touting the "BYU didn't get its first choice" narrative

Reid was obviously is first choice however unrealistic

Fine. I don't think KN was a higher priority than KS.

Yep, I think so too.

Mostly because they don't get the uniqueness of BYU, and how that hire can impact it.

I agree. Kalani is up there grade wise with Helton and USC.

Hey, they grouped us with the BCS schools, not with the "Group of 5"!

Sure. People don't really get BYU so their evaluations of things like this

The only problem I have is their idea that Sitake wasn't the first choice.

My thoughts too. I agree that you could list him lower for lack of experience.

I second the thoughts about ranking lower because of inexperience

Kalani was the #1 choice, other than that I don't much care where they rank him

I'd guess most Utes would disagree as well (re Sitake). Most I've talked to

That UVA got an A-? Yeah, I do take issue with that.

I am skeptical that he was really 2nd choice. Also Bronco being an A- minus seems high. If they are just analyzing the

I get why an outsider would see Sitake as a risk after having supposedly "whiffing" on KN. However, the author clearly

Much better to be a "C" that overachieves than an "A" that underachieves
