I don't have a clue what Sitake's philosophy is in leading the team

exactly. Players are going to get him fired

I have not heard nor seen that they would run through a wall for him.

This has been my biggest criticism of Sitake.

TheLoneCougar

10/2/19 7:20am

In every sense of the saying he’s “learning on the job”

But we forget, even Bronco felt there wasn't the support needed

After thinking a moment, Sitake always says he wants to be another LaVell...a

I agree. I think he wanted to be a LaVell like figure.. but I don’t think he had

The biggest difference is Lavell hired experienced assistants.

That only works if you have an OC and DC that handle the real game at a high

I agree with this. kalani could be a great HC if he had the correct people in

Preppy

I agree. If we had a good, experienced OC and DC, it would be different.

I'm wondering if our coaches don't get "Lavell'd" by the BoT?

Borg

10/2/19 8:35am

That may work after building a program over 20 yrs. But I think Lavell had a definite philosophy and was far more

Bronco also had a great defense, had his 24 points or less each game goal so

Sounds like the softball beer league approach to running a team

I think the biggest issue was kalani didn’t bring in the bad cops to his good

I believe Sitake would have undermined "bad cops" in his program at every

Have fun and make memories.

Warm memories of losing in Toledo to one of the worst defenses in the country.

It’s fairly obvious; he even announced his philosophy just prior to the Utah game.

Ugly losses count as memories I guess

He has no clue either. This team has no identity.

Sitake’s philosophy: “If you can’t beat ‘em, praise them for an entire 15 min conference all while blaming your guys.”

JohnnyComeLately

10/2/19 8:27am

Building memories. He told us himself.

coolblue

His philosophy is wining 1 big game a year, lose to our rivals and

Maybe not the philosophy. But the results are spot on. Somehow these coaches

BYU fans forget what BYU's philosophy is...

What is the ideal coaching blueprint for a BYU football coach?

BYU Fan

CB fans don't want this..

Nice strawman. Nobody on CB thinks we can magically start landing top 10

BYUMizzou

Sadly, I agree with this assessment of the current state of BYU Football.

coastcat

Then change the scheduling... Put Idaho State at game 5

Another strawman

more denial... BYU isn't P5

We're certainly not. We're in some weird limbo land somewhere between G5 and P5

No chance of getting the same DB's WR's and RB's that Kwhit gets regularly

The guys that Whitt got when he was in the MWC turned out well too though.
