Institutional knowledge is too important for coaches to get off on the right foot. It's how guys like Rose, Bronco and Pope can hit the ground running. Byu makes it hard on coaches who haven't coached there before.

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