I have no idea what Kalani makes or what his motivations are. In fact, I have

only met him a handful of times. (My kids laugh at a picture with both of us in it from BYU days.)

I can see him being lured away by money. All of us would be tempted to do that.

I can also see him staying. If he says Lavell was his role model, there is a great chance Kalani stays. It is before I was a BYU fan, but wasn't Lavell tempted to take a job with the Detroit Lions after winning the NC in 1984? But he ended up staying. That and the fact Kalani has outright said he would stay as long as BYU will have him gives me hope he stays.

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

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

LiveCoug

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.

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.

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.

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

Ask Ed Orgeron about expectations

Dark Forest Green

And Jimmy Lake.

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

Interesting salary breakdown history of CFB coaches.

Anything about lavell in there?

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

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

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

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

Trent

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

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

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

DiamondMo

One reason to stay at BYU is potential job security.

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.

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

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