Kalani needs leverage to raise his and his assistants salaries. Maybe he has asked will to spread the word to make it sound plausible

Will Snowden saying that BYU fans need to prepare for the inevitable that is

If someone comes knocking with $4-6M annually he has to seriously consider it.

Bonoman

11/24/21 2:33pm

Someone WILL come knocking with that amount. Will says he is gone

NacoCoug

11/24/21 2:35pm

Depends on if he truly wants to be like Lavell.

I am in the same boat as Snowden. Everyone on here seems to think Kalani would

If Kalani left already then it would make me question everything he has ever

Coaches always say amazing things about the school/location they are at

LiveCoug

11/24/21 2:38pm

Not all coaches get to coach at their alma mater and succeed.

SaintGeorgeYFan

11/24/21 7:11pm

Of course he loves BYU, but this is his actual profession and livelihood we are

RH84025

11/24/21 2:39pm

I totally understand, but we're talking about BYU and institution that represent

NacoCoug

11/24/21 2:51pm

The way I see it.

rtNelson

11/24/21 3:24pm

Honestly, which coaches lose high profile jobs and then can't get another one

krindorr

11/24/21 4:54pm

BYU job is about to get a lot easier with more pay, P5 conference and access, and increased revenues.

Turnpike Lane

11/24/21 2:39pm

Other jobs don't have to worry about an honor code and incorporating religion

RH84025

11/24/21 2:41pm

High expectations come with any fanbase that cares. IF you want lower, go G5.

Turnpike Lane

11/24/21 2:43pm

I would say BYU’s administration is probably more loyal than about any other

Submariner

11/24/21 2:47pm

And they give some leeway for the religion and HC and academic standards

Y05

11/24/21 3:21pm

Ask Ed Orgeron about expectations

Dark Forest Green

11/24/21 3:00pm

And Jimmy Lake.

Turnpike Lane

11/24/21 3:06pm

Maybe he wants to be like Lavell and money isn’t everything. 🤷‍♂️

blueaussie

Interesting salary breakdown history of CFB coaches.

Shore10

11/24/21 4:58pm

Anything about lavell in there?

blueaussie

11/24/21 5:37pm

Nothing. But it mentioned Paterno and Bowden in the same section.

Shore10

11/24/21 5:52pm

Who is Will Snowden again?

BlueVU

11/24/21 2:35pm

RB for BYU back in the day

TNT

11/24/21 2:36pm

Former player. Trains kids locally. Has a son in 2023 class that is a 4* recruit.

Turnpike Lane

11/24/21 2:37pm

Played for BYU. Son is a huge priority recruit

LiveCoug

11/24/21 2:37pm

Runs a company related to recruits and his own son is a 4* player. So he is

DraperCoug22

11/24/21 3:05pm

And if he likes another coach could use his platform to push kids away from BYU

travelcoug

11/24/21 5:13pm

Snowden loves BYU

kC Cougar

11/24/21 6:08pm

Also runs a recruiting agency in Utah, so he has connections and talks to a lot

THEN PAY THIS MAN

BlueVU

There is a big supply/demand issue right now for top football programs..

I believe Kalani loves BYU, but if he can get himself, Fesi, and the rest of his

SLIVER

5M$/yr is low these days. PSU offering 80m+ to avg coach. MSU offering 95m.

With Kalani being one of the only qualified coaches currently out west, I could

SLIVER

45 for 6 would surprise me, but I agree in theory

krindorr

He’s not saying anything that isn’t logical though. Who wouldn’t consider

Tuskaloosa Cougar

11/24/21 2:41pm

I still think it's unlikely. At least this season.

Little Mac

11/24/21 2:49pm

Well, y'all wanted Tuiaki gone.

Shore10

11/24/21 2:49pm

That just tells me Will Snowden is ignorant to BYU's resources.

rad dawg

11/24/21 2:50pm

Exactly. All this worrying is silly to me.

DraperCoug22

11/24/21 3:04pm

Not only can and likely we would step up on resources now that we have the Big 12 thing, but also some seem to not

Trent

11/24/21 3:42pm

I do think, however that he is wise to hear offers and leverage them to ensure BYU understands the market.

Trent

11/24/21 3:45pm

Also factor in the cost of living/tax situation where you’re going. $1M in Utah =\= $1M in California/Seattle

WP17

11/24/21 4:01pm

And the argument that housing costs have gone up in Utah doesn't apply when I've already seen the killer house he

Trent

11/24/21 4:04pm

As someone who lives outside Utah now (military) and wants to move back, I can vouch for this

WP17

11/24/21 4:07pm

Bronco publicly stated he likely wouldn't stay more than 10 years. Not Kalani.

CMAC38

11/24/21 5:30pm

I don’t buy it, it makes no sense

JOPE

11/24/21 3:02pm

This is my opinion as well.

Turnpike Lane

I agree with you except

stonecougar

11/24/21 3:51pm

Haven’t we heard that Holmoe is aware and they will take care of the coaches?

truecougster

11/24/21 4:43pm

Yes we have but if you can elevate the urgency you can get more $

stonecougar

11/24/21 4:46pm

Money isn't everything. Some people just have the personal desire to get paid

He also said Ty'son Williams would have a huge day against Utah...

Hutch65

11/24/21 3:03pm

In his defense. That was Grimes' fault...

Dark Forest Green

11/24/21 3:16pm

You can’t rack up yards if they don’t give you the ball.

Brigham

11/24/21 4:00pm

Which is why I said it was Grimes fault.

Dark Forest Green

11/24/21 4:07pm

Yep. I was agreeing with you.

Brigham

11/24/21 7:20pm

Will is building in a ready-made excuse why his son will sign elsewhere is my concern

CLCougar

11/24/21 3:11pm

From what his son had posted on Twitter

I'mBatman

11/24/21 5:16pm

Yup..saw that. Will looking for way out when it happens

CLCougar

11/24/21 6:17pm

How is his insight better than the ave cber? I imagine Kalani and maybe his wife

DiamondMo

11/24/21 3:12pm

One reason to stay at BYU is potential job security.

Belboz

11/24/21 3:12pm

How many places would tolerate a 2017? USC and UW clearly wouldn’t.

TerpCoug

11/24/21 3:18pm

IDK If we had another 2017 after 2020 and 2021, his seat would still be on fire.

SLIVER

11/24/21 3:41pm

Look, Kalani wouldn't be the same if not at BYU. Bronco isn't.

byujdmba

11/24/21 3:27pm

Bronco played in an NY6 bowl at UVA, he wasn't able to do that here..

SLIVER

11/24/21 3:42pm

I don't think that affects what I said.

byujdmba

11/24/21 3:52pm

Bronco may "not be the same" but he's reached levels he never did at BYU..

Kalani really wants to be like Lavell. I hear whether Kalani stays or not is if

It’s amazing what happens when coaches win games, right?

Spiff

11/24/21 3:57pm

It is possible. Wonder how he would do at a P5 level program.

Dr T-bone

11/24/21 3:35pm

Honestly, Kalani is a good fit for BYU and their standards and traditions but…

jpal1397

11/24/21 3:46pm

That fat paycheck is nice, but you have to deliver

Dr T-bone

11/24/21 3:55pm

Yet Mark Few, Randy Bennett, etc, have the self-control to say "no." I see no...

COACHdrn

11/24/21 3:43pm

He definitely could be, but there's also a lot who don't say no - realistically we have no idea either way

krindorr

11/24/21 5:26pm

I’ll believe it when I see it. Nothing can convince me otherwise

Dat_rmishner

11/24/21 3:44pm

That would be interesting

stonecougar

11/24/21 3:46pm

Literally cannot see Kalani coaching another program. But I thought the same

archie

11/24/21 3:58pm

Bronco literally said he wouldn't stay long at BYU. You still didnt believe him?

COACHdrn

11/24/21 4:00pm

Yeah, he talked about not wanting to coach forever, that he wouldn’t be at BYU forever, etc. all the time

If a school like Liberty can afford to pay their coach 4 large a year, I'm

Watching the latest Deep Blue video gave me a new perspective on Kalani.

A lot of us. This is Cougarboard... its to talk about exactly stuff like this.

AltTabbins

I strongly disagree. I can't see Kalani leaving. It would be like LaVell Edwards
