clauses built in and/or a reduced buyout. Makes sense to extend him so that the uncertainty didn't torpedo our recruiting, but also makes sense to not lock BYU into a long term contract either.

ESPN think we'll win six games. So that's a tall order.

Thought they were more like 5-7. No?

ManicBlue

5/29/20 2:03pm

Right on the edge, but yeah, 5-7 is the prediction.

Kalani is as good as a program like BYU can do. He's perfect for the job. Great

my definition of perfect may be different than yours

Great ambassador, but horrible coach. Out of 120 HC's, I put KS 110th or lower.

Nice! Good to know we wont have any injuries.

I think the point was, if injuries continue to decimate BYU's depth, then Kalani

Utah is the only game injuries played a big role

Let's try to end the season without having to use the 3rd/4th string QB and raiding the LB corps for RBs for a change

It's 100% correct. Anyone who hasn't been able to see those things

Lip Gallagher

Yup especially with a ton of talent on the team day n 2021 as well

I starting feeling that way a bit last year. All in on that feeling this year

As much as I complain about Kalani, I think I'll reserve my final judgement

You're one season too late.

BleedCougarBlue2

I don't disagree with this take and think Holmoe would have been justified

ManicBlue

5/29/20 3:33pm

Agree. The buyout has to be minimal, if any. Kalani had no leverage.

Shinshin

5/29/20 3:35pm

Being a private university, BYU is in a good spot by not having to disclose it

ManicBlue

5/29/20 3:41pm

He will be here for a while. The BOT love that he’s a great ambassador for the

LyleLanley

Losing makes it hard to be a good ambassador of anything.

Shinshin

5/29/20 3:34pm

The church would rather lose then have a program that is a black eye by having

LyleLanley

5/29/20 3:44pm

The two things are not tied together. It IS possible to have a winning program

We are stuck with Kalani he just signed an extension. He’s not going to fired

Not true

Backcountry

5/29/20 7:34pm

Yep, but the Church would also rather BYU win and have a likeable head coach.

Shinshin

5/29/20 4:22pm

They should put their money where their thoughts are.

LyleLanley

5/29/20 5:03pm

Maybe. The Church has other priorities.

Shinshin

BYU football has a bigger budget, better facilities, and a better location than

Invest more money get better coaching.

LyleLanley

Really? Like who for instance? FYI ... Saban isn't coming no matter how much

ManicBlue

5/29/20 6:08pm

Exactly why I’m saying the BOT is happy with Kalani.

LyleLanley

5/29/20 8:30pm

I'm not saying there isn't a good HC option for BYU ... just that more money

Neither the church nor the university give a rip about wins.

I bet we still hear A LOT of excuses when we start and/or finish the season with a poor record.

I’m not even sure how a hoard of RMs (that never came) could be an excuse
