Like he was throwing Tanner under the bus. That has nothing to do with Tanner being critical of his own performance. There was far more wrong with the team and offense than Tanner Mangum.

IF what you're suggesting is true, doesn't it follow the major problem was Kalani?

jdub

7/12/18 10:38pm

I've been critical of Kalani, but if he changes for the better how is that bad?

Little Britches

7/12/18 10:44pm

That would be a good thing, I agree. However, if we really analyze this narrative, it claims discipline/culture

jdub

I saw him own the 4-9 all the time.

BYURider

7/13/18 5:10am

Ummm... he consistently blamed everyone else. From Linehan to TD to everyone.

Every interview I ever saw he said it is on the

Then you did not listen to many interviews. The few times I heard that kind of

thecthdox

7/13/18 8:01am

That is the issue. He would say it after he was done tossing everyone else under

BYUtka

7/13/18 8:22am

Or he did listen but heard what he wanted to hear

unctoothman

7/13/18 10:08am

I agree. In every post game I can still hear him saying "this is on me," "this is on me. "

MaxxPower

7/13/18 8:01am

This is true. When he was done blaming everyone else, he would toss that out.

BYUtka

7/13/18 8:24am

I was watching him pout all year. Not sure what YOU were watching.

I'm stating something that logically flows from what the OP said. I'm being consistent.

Clearly you missed this blame gem from the almanac

"He's changed!" [Throws Tanner under the bus a few weeks ago]

Division Bell

7/13/18 5:48am

No he didn't

BYURider

7/13/18 5:51am

Was that someone else’s fault too?

BYUtka

7/13/18 6:46am

False. Tanner himself was critical of his performance last year.

NFCougar

Those are not mutually exclusive. Kalani’s statement at media day sure sounded

Thanks, Sis. Sitake. Nice of you to start an account today.

Division Bell

7/13/18 8:15am

So, out of fear of throwing anyone under the bus what does he say? Everything...

icecougar

7/16/18 10:45am

He didn't throw him under the bus. I'm sure Tanner would fully agree with him

D.T. Survivor

7/13/18 8:06am

Tanner did agree with him. He owned it

icecougar

7/16/18 10:48am

How did he throw Tanner under the bus?

That happens. When QB play was the major roadblock to success in 2012...

That's kind of funny. The OP says outright culture was a huge problem. And you object to my saying

jdub

7/13/18 8:15am

It's Kalani's fault... even if it isn't.

TheLost

7/13/18 8:18am

As I said, if the OP is correct (that culture/lack of discipline were a major concern) that IS on the head coach

jdub

7/13/18 9:11am

Viewpoint...

TheLost

7/13/18 9:54am

That's pretty crazy--you just claimed the head coach has no responsibility for morale, of discipline, for team culture

jdub

7/13/18 10:05am

I don't know if I buy into the "It's Kalani's fault." I'm wondering if Kalani

He didn't treat Ty poorly. That offense was bad.

The D really needs to improve this year. That should be something that he owns

LaserCoug

& we've seen Kalani implement things to change the course/direction of the team

you joined CB today just to post that?

Do you think @ least 6-6 with a bowl win finishing 7-6 is realistic?

wickedgame71

7/12/18 10:56pm

Ya, I think it’s a 6 win team (maybe 7).

NFCougar

I’ve been cynical about the team and program but I can get on

This is exactly why the Sitake hire has been a disaster.

MajorZeus

Not an 8 win team? So is it a 7 win team? I think only 7 wins would be a little

Yunit

Yeah. 6 wins should be the worst. so 2 extra wins is not likely? thats not good
