RE: Poached by a bigger program with more $$$ to offer.
I don't see it happening. Assuming he does well and raises our profile a bit there won't be many bigger & richer programs looking for a coach any given year anyways. He's a BYU alum who bleeds blue. He is very strong with local & family connections and being a part of the Polynesian community so I feel there are only a handful of respectable schools in areas where he can still have those influences in his life -- USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon -- and if he's doing well Oregon and UCLA might not be steps up from BYU. If it was only about money he certainly could have earned more than he did at Oregon State and likely could have left Utah during a Hill-Whitt pissing match and made more money as a DC elsewhere.

I don't see him going anywhere unless the NFL calls or USC throws Alabama money at him. I think when Whitt retires or is fired that Kalani will be more loyal to BYU; he already voluntarily left Utah once.

Just my two cents.
