RE: So I wasn't foolish. But I think Kalani is the better HC for multiple

If you'll note in my original post, I only mentioned defense. I also said that I hope Kalani's teams are better defensively too. It wasn't a knock on Kalani except possibly that he won't ever replace Tuiaki as DC. IMO, Tuiaki is the only coach on staff that hasn't improved in his time at BYU.

From Jeff Hansen’s article,

What is that ranking?

Adrielle

5/10/21 6:18pm

Rankings are based on total numbers. I don’t know how some schools give out 22-24 per year and keep their APR.

5/10/21 9:08pm

Because of the Nacua brothers?

WJCougar

5/10/21 6:26pm

They aren’t included

5/10/21 6:38pm

Nope

Is this simply a side effect of covid/super seniors?

Corn Pop

5/10/21 6:53pm

No. It is partly due to a smaller class. But the smaller class isn’t because of Covid. It’s because of the scholarship

5/10/21 7:01pm

Seems like it would be better to stagger the 2 small classes if possible.

Not sure he'll ever be better defensively. Hope so.

He's going after & reeling in better talent. Star-backed or not.

Talent is a great start but it's the execution I question.

Would love to have Bronco as our DC, but that's not the issue here.

SinkingQuffa

5/11/21 3:25am

Obviously it's not the whole issue but it is a big part and to say otherwise

So I wasn't foolish. But I think Kalani is the better HC for multiple reasons.

Agree. Except on Tuiaki. I think he's gotten a LOT better.

SinkingQuffa

5/11/21 11:59pm

His coverage schemes have confused a lot of teams

LyleLanley

5/12/21 12:14am

Confuses them as in why he doesn't do anything to stop them? Confuses me too.

ManicBlue

5/12/21 1:26am

I mean there have been a number of opposing coaches that have said that.

LyleLanley

5/12/21 7:28am

as they secretly snicker among themselves?

ManicBlue

5/12/21 3:14pm

They're confused until they decide to just run the ball for 7-8 yds per carry...

Still got a ways to go to match Bronco.

In schematics or product on the field?

SinkingQuffa

Both.

Bronco is still better but has a ceiling. Kalani is like crypto currency right

idacoug

5/10/21 11:20pm

At least on the offense.

5/11/21 12:26am

A one loss season against the weakest schedule in 20+ years and...

So glad Bronco is gone.

5/11/21 11:59am

No link to the article? Not going to tell us the ranking?

It is funny how we attribute this to Kalani when it really appears that Grimes, Pugh/Mateo were the ones to really go

5/11/21 7:10am

I didn't get the impression Grimes was all that big a recruiter, actually.

SinkingQuffa

5/11/21 7:33am

It's a fair point to see if BYU can sustain the pipeline of OLs. Also will BYU

Forzaitalia

5/11/21 9:20am

Can't we give Kalani credit for bringing in Grimes though?

cougfan03

5/11/21 9:30am

Of course we can. The question is if KS can continue or if he reverts back to the pre Grimes Kalani.

5/11/21 9:38am

Read on. I did.

Forzaitalia

5/11/21 11:09am

Kalani hired Grimes

icecougar

5/11/21 10:43am

Listen, I get that as the HC you deserve a lot of credit for being the leader of the organization.

5/11/21 11:50am

Yet Grimes wasn't the answer fully either...

icecougar

5/11/21 12:23pm

Honest question, did KS hire the offensive assistants or did Grimes? I'm sure they worked on it together

5/11/21 1:04pm

Grimes did not know Fesi, or Arod. He knew Clark from his last stint at BYU and

I would think Kalani had a fair amount of input with the exception of Pugh and..
