Coogar2 Walk-on

Kalani should have said the same things LaVell said about the BYU D

after giving up 65 to UCLA, 56 to Utah St., 45 to Fresno St. and 34 to Utah all in losses in 1993. Yes there was plenty of room for improvement on O last year, but Kalani didn't help anything with the way he handled things. His complaining wasn't making anything better from one week to the next and the UMASS loss is proof of it.

Steve Kaufusi deserved better. He was a strong DL coach at both BYU and Utah

Kaufusi asked for the position change from DL to LB

Source?

1/19/18 1:44pm

himself - said it in an interview last year

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/19/18 1:46pm

Perhaps he was given a choice to leave or switch and then asked to switch

Coogar2

1/19/18 1:48pm

Perhaps. And Perhaps everything else you allege is true. But I doubt it.

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/19/18 1:49pm

I only allege that he was shown the door. The switch to LB coach is simply what

Coogar2

You keep using perhaps, yet act like you know how it went down when clearly you

So you think "perhaps" now has a different meaning? Interesting...

Kalani disrespected his players and assistant coaches plenty this past season.

he’s also taken accountability many times.

1/19/18 3:34pm

I must have missed them. Sure he's said it's his responsibility to get it right,

TailgateU

1/19/18 3:56pm

LOL nice troll attempt.

1/19/18 6:14pm

This is the biggest myth perpetuated on CB. What Kalani said about the offense

yapacoug

1/19/18 7:37pm

What did Kalani do to Ty that was awful?

molodyets

1/19/18 1:45pm

LaVell never cast blame like Kalani did last year.

Coogar2

1/19/18 1:54pm

Nobody performed worse as a coordinator on offense or defense than Ty did.

molodyets

1/19/18 1:57pm

In the last 50+ years of BYU football.

molodyets

1/19/18 1:57pm

And Kalani acted more like Kyle Wittingham than Lavell by blaming the O

Coogar2

1/19/18 2:02pm

What should he have said after we lost 17-10 at home against UMass?

molodyets

1/19/18 2:07pm

Kalani should have said the same things LaVell said about the BYU D

Coogar2

1/19/18 2:19pm

What did LaVell say about those? Do you have the full recording of the press?

molodyets

1/19/18 2:31pm

You need to chill out. Unless you were privy to conversations that happened

UberDeek

1/19/18 4:24pm

That’s right. Just what was reported that Kalani slammed the O

Coogar2

1/19/18 5:48pm

Did you watch the O this year? They deserve every criticism they got.

UberDeek

1/19/18 7:41pm

KS is also in charge of the offense by virtue of being head coach.

coolblue

1/19/18 5:44pm

Kalani isn’t Lavell...

SL12

1/19/18 2:08pm

Skin a deer? Perhaps a cat or maybe even a rabbit, but a deer?

basman

1/19/18 2:21pm

Lol maybe I grew up in too redneck a family

SL12

1/19/18 2:25pm

Can you name a coordinator that performed as equally as bad as Detmer did...

Coug

1/19/18 4:47pm

Maybe Kalani knows where blame needs to be. Have you ever thought

1/19/18 6:20pm

You assume you know everything that went down, but you don't actually know

1/19/18 1:47pm

Yes. I assume Steve was invited to leave. That is all.

Coogar2

1/19/18 1:50pm

Not the best form to state speculation as fact. Your post reads like a fact

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/19/18 1:54pm

Even that is a HUGE assumption on your part

1/19/18 2:06pm

It is reasonable to assume Steve wanted to coach his son's last year

Coogar2

1/19/18 2:09pm

Maybe he just wants to sit back and watch his son play

1/19/18 2:11pm

Not sure why Steve didn't decide that when Bronson was at BYU

Coogar2

1/19/18 3:24pm

You'll have to ask Steve that.

1/19/18 5:57pm

Quit throwing facts and logic into this

TheHop

1/20/18 12:48am

Sounds like a lot of speculation. Do you have any info on

Plato

1/19/18 1:48pm

Steve deserved to leave on his own terms. He deserved better if he was nudged

Coogar2

1/19/18 1:52pm

So let's go make wild accusations about what happened without any real idea of

cougaman

1/19/18 1:56pm

You would quit coaching before your son's final season playing D1 ball?

Coogar2

1/19/18 1:58pm

Maybe he just wants to watch a season just as a dad

fattycoug

1/19/18 2:04pm

That would be very different from most Dads.

Coogar2

1/19/18 2:06pm

Devin is a freshman next year, so the argument is a bit weak

FiveTen-BuckEighty

1/19/18 2:09pm

If Steve was simply retiring, that announcement could have been made in Dec.

Coogar2

1/19/18 2:11pm

I'd rather enjoy watching my son play rather than it be my job

fattycoug

1/19/18 2:17pm

Is this another assumption or fact?

ZooBlue

1/19/18 10:22pm

Maybe, but you have no inside knowledge, so why stir the pot. Maybe he is happy

cougaman

1/19/18 2:23pm

Not saying he wasn't forced out, but I have several coaching friends who

jsjohnson1278

1/19/18 2:36pm

Yep. May have been Steve's choice. If so, he could have retired in Dec.

Coogar2

1/19/18 2:57pm

Deserved? What he deserved was to be paid for the job he did, and he was.

1/19/18 3:01pm

You are right. It may be that Kalani is such a disaster of a head coach

Coogar2

1/19/18 2:04pm

Kaufusi's gone now? Oh brother. The last vestige from the Bronco regime is no

1/19/18 2:08pm

Kalani hates Polys

1/19/18 2:08pm

Grow up

1/19/18 2:14pm

These are football coaches. They aren’t entitled to anything. This is the job.

1/19/18 2:39pm

Absolutely, but Steve has proven to be a better DL coach than Kalani at HC

Coogar2

1/19/18 3:04pm

Even if that is true, what does that have to do with anything? That's not how this works.

1/19/18 3:25pm

Yes, and

warp

1/19/18 4:58pm

Steve's wife was just put in as mayor of Provo, so my take is

blue13

1/19/18 3:50pm

What are you talking about??? Kaufusi spent 23 yrs coaching at the same..

icecougar

1/19/18 3:58pm

nice troll attempt at those who have been saying that Ty was treated dirty.

Bostonblue

1/19/18 4:22pm

How do you know Steve isn't pursuing other interests?

Archaea

1/19/18 4:30pm

It would not surprise me if he did just what you said. His wife is not...

icecougar

1/19/18 5:24pm

Ok, look. Kaufusi isn't mad about leaving I would think. He had a good career.

1/19/18 6:03pm

The DL has been a weak point in our defense for as long as he has been the coach

TutumTeRoboreReddam

1/19/18 6:13pm

He hasn't had any talent to work with, most of the time.

Archaea

1/19/18 6:31pm

Not true

warp

1/19/18 10:24pm

Good data: what about sacks and QB pressures?

Archaea

1/19/18 10:33pm

Let’s be honest. Many here will be angry with anything Kalani does until

StalwartBraveTrue

1/19/18 7:57pm

Not sure anyone "deserves" anything... We've given the keys to Kalani, just gotta trust him...
