I have the opportunity to double my pay right now. Literally. Not doing it.

Anesthesia jobs are so needed right now that I could double my income by moving to any number of other states. I’ll never do it though. Why? Because I’m happy where I am and my family and I are rooted, connected here.

Money isn’t everything. Kalani has more than he needs. He knows that; He grew up humbly.

If Kalani takes another job then he isn’t the man I believe him to be.

Didn't Kalani try to force Whitt's hand for more money? Was denied and left to

No, He didn't want more money, he wanted his contract renewed and Dr. Hill

This could easily be solved by BYU just ponying up the cash to pay the man. B12 $$$$$$

9/24/21 10:05am

They will. Kalani. Is gonna see a B12 raise.

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:15am

But Big 12 $ < PAC12 $ and BYU doesn't get full share until 2025

I don't think it's about getting paid the most. It's about getting paid enough

9/24/21 10:23am

Agreed. I think he stays even with an offer of more money though.

canofpicante

9/24/21 11:08am

I don’t think money is the only possible reason. If you want to be

I’ve never heard him state that as a priority, ever.

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:16am

I'd also be disappointed by his priorities if winning at the highest level isn't a goal

krindorr

9/24/21 10:18am

So he should go NFL?

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:33am

At the very least the highest level in his sphere

krindorr

9/24/21 10:37am

I agree; NFL is different. College is more about community, family, loyalty, etc

Here's to hoping Ryan Smith can start writing $4M checks on an annual basis

This is a bad take

palangi

9/24/21 10:11am

Which part do you think I have wrong. I’m just going off of things he has said

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:18am

This is ridiculous. If Kalani could double his income at one of the top jobs in

SLIVER

Yeah - BYU will NEVER pay what USC is paying. Ain't going to happen.

9/24/21 10:25am

So you applied your situation to Kalani's situation?

TNT

9/24/21 10:29am

Yeah. We all weigh our priorities when making decisions. Kalani will too.

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:42am

Does your job have 3 year contracts that can be broken and taken away any given

palangi

9/24/21 12:27pm

You’re talking about stability? I think the USC job would be much less stable.

canofpicante

9/24/21 12:30pm

Carrol, Kiffin, Orgeron(interim), Sark, Helton. Yeah they pretty much land on

palangi

9/24/21 12:46pm

All that said. I don't think Kalani will get offered and I'm not sure if he'd

palangi

9/24/21 12:50pm

It’s true. Or he could keep his family here and stay.

canofpicante

9/24/21 5:55pm

I don’t think so. And it’s a matter of opinion. You can have yours too.

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:19am

Fair enough. Also, I don't think Kalani is on USC's radar at all. I personally

SLIVER

9/24/21 10:28am

Yeah - I think USC wants a MUCH bigger name & track record than Kalani.

Eddie

9/24/21 10:31am

You can't go from the Helton disaster to "a good dude" from BYU. They're looking

SLIVER

9/24/21 10:41am

I tend to think USC would take somebody before Kalani.

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:34am

It's never a black-n-white deal, though, is it? Not for believing people.

He'll also be much richer than the man you currently believe him to be.

shoganai

9/24/21 10:27am

So - you hit on a VERY important point in your OP here.

Eddie

9/24/21 10:29am

Was it even an issue with the Utah AD? Or just an awareness that he needed to take that next step for his career?

krindorr

9/24/21 10:31am

The story was KW went to the AD for a pay increase, and Hill said no.

Eddie

9/24/21 10:35am

So it was about respect (as evidenced by the $)...? Although that doesn't really line up with the reported $

krindorr

9/24/21 10:59am

Kalani knows BYU loves him. B12 money will help us show him.

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:32am

I don't want him to leave, but I wouldn't blame him...

9/24/21 10:32am

I wouldn’t blame him either. I just don’t think that’s who he is.

canofpicante

9/24/21 10:39am

If Kalani takes that job, good for him. Big pay and prestige increase. We would

Backcountry

9/24/21 10:39am

Right. Many, many people would take it. I don’t think that’s Kalani though 🤷‍♂️
