2017 was an abomination.

And I agree. If we have more years like 2017, I say clean house. But right now I believe that year was an aberration. I was encouraged when Kalani made the tough decision to fire Ty Detmer, who clearly couldn't get through to our players. 2018 turned out to be a big step in the right direction.

Sorry, but 20-19 over three seasons and 11-15 over two isn’t a BYU problem.

It’s a Sitake problem if he took a job with assistants he didn’t want.

And then your stuck with a coach like Robert Anae... you think that would have been better?

Steve Young admitted that he worked with Holmoe to get Detmer as coach.... That was a Tom Holmoe hire, not Sitake hire

No way does BYU hire Detmer without the head coach’s approval.

Approval, sure. But that doesn't mean he was Kalani's 1st choice or that Holmoe

You can't have that one both ways. Sitake was part of picking them too.
