Gotta get this off my chest. Yes, I wish BYU wasn't so full of itself

That's not really a knock. Kalani is anything but dumb. Bob's pretty sharp.

Bob isn't a self-promoter by any stretch, so it wouldn't have been so bad.

It DOES matter. Just not as much as it could & should.

From a pure football standpoint, I could care less if Kalani has a culture where kids want to stay, but FB still sucks

Any definition of "didn't actively seek such kids" is wrong but sure

So every coach with a loosing record has poor discipline?
