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

level. I don't think our problem is that Kalani can't be a good head coach, it is that we don't have the OC and DC needed to be successful with that type of a head coach.

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

I think the only idea we do know is he loves the players. Everyone says he's a

This has been my biggest criticism of Sitake.

TheLoneCougar

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.

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

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

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

Building memories. He told us himself.

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

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

CB fans don't want this..

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

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

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.
