good point
in 2016 alot of our recruits seemed to underpreform. Ex: Alema Pilimai, Handsome Tanielu, Jonah Trinnaman,

Time will tell, but Kalani's greatest impact will likely be recruiting

Here's to hoping he can pick coaches and delegate like Lavell

^^ Proof that it's possible to be grateful to Bronco for what he did and not
gwalker

He just stayed 5 years too long
VirginiaYewt
6/21/17 3:23pm
Absolutely. And put BYU in a place to be relevant in the college football
gwalker
6/21/17 3:30pm
maybe ... would Kalani, Ty, Lamb, et al have been ready 5 yrs ago?
ManicBlue
6/21/17 4:15pm
Probably not, I was suggesting we hire Saban as the placeholder coach
VirginiaYewt

He created a firm plateau for a great foundation

but wasn't that ship already righting itself prior to Bronco?

If you think the ship was righting itself before Bronco, you are in the extreme minority

Tell me about it. I miss the days only 17 offers were made. It was exciting
Y4LYFE

Much of that was dealing with the fallout from players being kicked out of
gwalker
6/21/17 3:31pm
He also seriously set his own handicaps against himself
Y4LYFE
6/21/17 3:44pm
And the CB legend grows. He never said that. And yes he did recruit.
basman
6/21/17 3:51pm
It was written in his contract.
Y4LYFE
6/21/17 6:05pm
I can personally attest that he did recruit. You don't know what you're talking
coolblue
6/21/17 4:34pm
When became HC yes, but that doesnt mean he went from hating it to loving it
Y4LYFE
6/21/17 6:06pm
Of course he recruited. He just hated and was terrible at it.
Backcountry
6/21/17 6:21pm
Amazing he won 99 games considering how much he sucked at everything he did
StantonMac
6/21/17 8:30pm
He only sucked at recruiting. I would call him an average to above average coach
Backcountry
6/21/17 8:52pm
He was a witch as a DC given the talent he had recruited.

not amazing, it's called scheduling 6-8 cupcakes and cream puffs every season...

Bronco was the right guy to hire. We needed someone like him to restore much
Rise Against
6/21/17 3:36pm
It's true. He was the right guy to turn around. Just overstayed 5 years IMO
Y4LYFE
6/21/17 3:45pm
Yup. He left the program in much better shape than he found it.

I don't agree that it was declining rapidly and tanking.

I wouldn't say that about his staff over the years.

I also worry that, under Kalani, we might see what I call the "Texas Effect"

Nothing like a troll to back up a silly comment. Double confirmation

All first year players. Also, Troy Warner was awesome. When Trinnaman was thrown to, he did well

about what?

Considering that only a handful of players from the 2016 class saw the field in

Sitake worked with and developed a lot of players at Utah that were drafted
here's to hoping

Could be true, but that is on the coach. Other coaches

How is Frank Jackson not picking BYU Bronco's fault?

You forgot one thing. Sitake has Tuiaki, Lamb and Ty Freaking Detmer. That is

The most accurate part of your post is the statement about it being unknown if
BeardedSpock
6/21/17 8:04pm
You really don't think recruiting tanked under Bronco?
Backcountry
6/21/17 8:38pm
It "tanked" but it wasn't due to Bronco. It was due to lack of P5 status
BeardedSpock
6/22/17 7:02pm
It was clearly a combination of the two.

To me, the biggest difference between Bronco and Kalani is the intangibles

Another key difference: player development and aspirations.

IMO, you're revising history. Yes, Crowton left some talent behind. But there

I keep hearing that the church was ready to can BYU football. Proof?
Backcountry

right, I only hear it here on CB, never read it in the DN or the SLT
icecougar

Crowton was just a poor HC and the rest of his career is an example of that.

I don't know, the rest of his career was spent as on OC at various schools...
