I don't know that he disdained fans, but I am happy he moved on and found a

better fit. I liked Bronco while he was here and he was a good on the field coach, but he seemed uncomfortable in the public/PR side of his role.

People can debate the X's and O's of Bronco's staff and Kalani's staff all they want....I think that is debatable over which style is more effective on the field, however I think there is no question that Kalani's personality and style of dealing with the public and the PR side of things is a much better long-term fit for this program

I don't get the Bronco love from some people here. He genuinely disdained us

Good guy. I liked him.

He called TNT a bad person from the Bible

Was TNT at that meeting and acting like a Pharisee?

I believe she was a human, not a baby chicken.

Yes but she might have been hot.

That's a valid point. Criticism withdrawn

You didn't listen. Seriously. Uninformed statement

His wife was increasingly vocal at the end too

With good reason. They were essentially driven away from BYU.

Ha, holy victimhood

What was the reason?

People were awful to him and his family. They would complain at his wife at

But that's the point. Kalani has tact and portrays humility. And people love him

Bronco was a good coach, he was kind of sick of being here and didn’t believe in independence

Uhh, the rape accusations against players.

There’s no debating who was better at winning especially vs P5s.

Man, I really hate to break this to you, because it really ruins your narrative,

Bluedarts

9/22/21 9:18pm

He did not genuinely disdain fans when he was the coach. That's hogwash.

Skeptical Optimist

9/22/21 4:10pm

He brought stability back to the program when it was on the verge of teetering to Utah State irrelevance

Fan access has dropped significantly under Kalani. Bronco was all about getting

BYUtka

This is very true.

I’ll trade all those things for the things Kalani has done well

Turbo

9/22/21 4:18pm

Good, because we did, and I doubt we can trade back.

BYUtka

9/22/21 4:20pm

It's not a slight on Kalani; just a different approach.

BlackBart

9/22/21 4:21pm

And I didn’t read it as a slight against him. I don’t believe those other things

Don't forget that BYUtv show near the end. Inside the Lockeroom or something?

He only disdained the annoying & mean fans. He was fine with the rest of us.

Because he said they were. He used the word fans with the comments.
