Gorum the Old Walk-on

Has been an epic failure 2 out of the past 3 years. Failure has become the norm

not the exception when Kalani has been running his own Unit/Organization. Once he left Coach Wittingham's shadow, his unit (the Oregon St D) was 115th in the nation.

Last year BYU's winning % was 109th among FBS schools. In the 3 years he has had his own defense or his own team, it has been a disaster.

I'm not saying he can't turn things around (and I hope he does), I am just saying that it isn't accurate to say that Kalani has had just one bad year.

I don't trust Sitake right now. I know these third hand comments need to be

You do realize we went 4-9 last year, right?

I try to forget it was that bad. So, he's a 4-9 coach

I've heard similar things. Go to utah and the whole staff

Until he proves otherwise, I think Sitake is a disorganized mess.

Certainly doesn't appear he is fulfilling that role.

So his inaugural season with a record of 9-4 doesn't count?

like any sales or management job, you are only as good as your last measurement

Yes, but as with those industries, the more data the better. One year can be

3 years? He's only had two complete seasons at BYU. So much ignorance on CB.

7/10/18 12:24pm

And you're really going to try and attach Oregon State failures to just Sitake?

7/10/18 12:27pm

At Oregon St he inherited the #74 defense and left a #115 defense after 1 year.

Stop with the silly numbers on paper with no context people. Please.

7/10/18 12:56pm

Do you give Crowton all the credit for his first season?

cougaman

7/10/18 11:20am

That was a gift from the prior coaching staff

7/10/18 11:25am

Honest question, is Kalani in charge of the agenda, etc of the recruiting trips,

viper

Yes he is charge of every aspect of the football program

If not he should be

He won't need to worry about all these details next year.

7/10/18 11:23am

No he shouldn't be. Somebody else handles all that and he oversees that it

If that is how they are doing it, then they should fail. He needs to put the

He is in charge and he should be. It sounds like the recruiting trip was simila

I hope your right, at least that way he can now take charge and fix it.

Did you forget he had a 9 win season or you just the normal its all bad.

No I did not forget that, but he did that with players that were developed by

But Kalani said it was al Ty’s fault

I know I won't dissuade you...

It was a disaster from the first game. Quit using the excuse of injuries.

coolblue

. . . and inexperienced offensive coaching that couldn't get the job done.

viper

7/10/18 3:15pm

The "inexperienced" coaches got it done in 2016

7/10/18 3:30pm

Thank you Bronco, Hill and Jamal for 2016.

coolblue

7/10/18 3:38pm

The 2016 offensive coaches did not "get it done". They underperformed, but

viper

7/10/18 8:27pm

They got a lot of turnovers which were huge in many of the wins and close losses

cougaman

7/10/18 8:46pm

I agree with that, but that is still KS's fault. Why he hired friends rather

coolblue

7/10/18 3:36pm

I understand all of that, but I also saw a vanilla defense that didn't try to

cougaman

7/10/18 3:44pm

The defense in 2016 was different than 2017. Why?

I hope for an improved defense, but I'm skeptical of tuiaki

No other teams suffer injuries?

Show a team with 22 injuries on the 2 deep. I'll show you a team that struggles

Excuses.

You’re missing the point

Again excuses.

Very true. His first bowl win was 10 years down the road too. Sitake got one his

SUAVO

7/10/18 10:54pm

You just can’t compare bowl records in the 70s to bowl records now. It’s silly

Technically, you're responding to a post where I was comparing when

SUAVO

Right, but the point is that you can't compare when they got their wins because

You can’t be serious.

So it's ok to talk about injuries to players as a reason the team struggles??
