Kalani played at BYU though. I'd call it a wash.

BYU vs G5 bowl eligible teams under Kalani Sitake

BYU Fan

How does that align with historical BYU results?

You're the man to ask about that but I have to think pretty poorly

BYU Fan

7/12/19 9:57am

I checked 2001-2004 & 2005-2007 as well

BYU Fan

Thoughts: 1) Bronco is a better coach than Kalani;

a priori

7/12/19 9:55am

Agreed. Why wouldn't a coaching staff that's been together for years be better

SUAVO

7/12/19 10:01am

Bronco was a new head coach and had a new staff once too.

ManicBlue

7/12/19 10:03am

And his first 5 years were amazing

BYU Fan

7/12/19 10:05am

Not saying that Kalani is a better coach, but why compare the last 5 years

SUAVO

7/12/19 10:23am

Bronco's first years would be even more of a discrepancy but the last years

ManicBlue

7/12/19 10:26am

Still not surprising

SUAVO

7/12/19 10:28am

Because you agree that Bronco is a better coach?

a priori

7/12/19 10:30am

IMO Bronco has been the better consistently good coach but

"Kalani may have a higher ceiling" just means he hasn't retired/been fired/etc

That's fine but it's also the only time BYU finished ranked 4 straight years

Not really. It’s more of an evaluation of how he runs things

I agree with this, but the first few years have not given me reason to be

We know he has a lower floor.

Bronco's teams went 11-3 vs G5 bowl eligible teams his first 3 years

BYU Fan

7/12/19 10:45am

And Gary Crowton's teams went 7-9 his first 3 years

BYU Fan

7/12/19 10:52am

I used 2013-2015 because they were the most recent years

BYU Fan

7/12/19 10:34am

But he had been at BYU as a DC. Kalani had not coached

PessimisticCB

Kalani played at BYU though. I'd call it a wash.

ManicBlue

7/12/19 10:59am

When he played at BYU it was completely different.

PessimisticCB

7/12/19 11:01am

Regardless, he wasn't starting from scratch and Bronco had to deal with

ManicBlue

7/12/19 9:56pm

Bronco's job was harder. He brought the program back from the brink of death.

a priori

7/12/19 11:00am

Bronco also had the luxury of playing in a conference where the G5 teams were familiar to him and the staff.

TheLoneCougar

7/12/19 10:08am

That goes both ways. Teams were more familiar with us too.

D.T. Survivor

That's true

Coaching staff cohesiveness/experience, player experience, a good QB

I sure hope so - the status quo may lead to a 4 or 5 win season

BYU Fan

7/12/19 10:08am

True but Kalani does have 2 yrs left on his contract so I doubt he'd be let go

ManicBlue

7/12/19 10:16am

BYU needs him to succeed but results need to improve on the field

BYU Fan

7/12/19 10:26am

To me it comes down to QB play

CaliWG

7/12/19 10:05am

To me it comes down to OL and DL play even more

ManicBlue

7/12/19 10:08am

This. If I were to point to one reason why we've been so mediocre during indy,

Cougar76

7/12/19 10:13am

Agree with both. Given a solid O line QB is critical for both college and Pros.

Refugee

7/12/19 10:21am

Sounds right. We've been below average and are losing to above-average teams.

QB Play. 2014 was by far Taysom's best season accuracy wise, which is why

Taysom was 6-2 while Tanner was 5-3 as a starter in these games

That's why I don't put too much stock in "P5" & "G5". A good team is a good team

So this season we play 5 good-great G5 teams.

I was leaning towards 7-5 as well until I saw how poorly we've done lately

The way Holmoe has set this up the schedule

After averaging a 33 finish for over a decade, a 112 finish and a 63 finish last

And this is where I disagree.. a 63 finish is still very far away
