1. Bringing a new coach in next year is murder. It will likely discourage someone from taking the job, and make a potentially good coach look terrible out of the gate. Players who like Kalani will enter the transfer portal, and the new coach likely isn't bringing any p5 talent players with him immediately (e.g. Jay Hill/Paul Petersen, who both coach at lower levels). In short, if Kalani leaves before next year, it will hurt the new coach and next year could be disastrous.

2. Kalani is such a BYU guy, we need him to succeed. We do not have that many coaches who would be happy coaching at BYU for an extended period of time. Heck, we don't have that many coaches willing to coach here at all, let alone stick around. We really, really need Kalani to be successful. It's worth one more year to see.

3. There is no coach out there experienced enough to step in as HC anyway. Remember how we are all frustrated that Tom hired a coach and then assistants with such little experience? The pool is not any better this time.

4. If Kalani were fired, it is likely he would end up at Utah as an assistant. And he would probably be an awfully tough recruiter against us. Not that he would dish dirt on BYU, but just that recruits like him. It's not like a Bronco who went clear across the country. Kalani would then be recruiting our guys.


Anyway, something needs to change, and I think IF Kalani is willing to show the guts to make the changes, give him another year.
