Everyone knew there was no way he was coming, but he knew it was important to maintain relationships and goodwill with the both the coaching/football and LDS communities.

Kalani is taking Oregon interview, we are in trouble

CougLyfe

Source?

sethj250

Reliable as they come

CougLyfe

12/6/21 11:29pm

Source? Sounds like "BYU isn't going to the Independence bowl, I know something"

AltTabbins

12/6/21 11:29pm

my source says Kalani's family loves Utah and he already feels like he has

Not to mention he’s about to get a lot more money to stay put.

Oregon won’t hire him. I’m not saying that to knock him. I’m just saying their

That’s my thoughts, but still taking the interview.

What are his issues?

Some will eyeroll this, but it’s a very legitimate reason to entertain others

maxpowers

But is that any different from any other HC job that pays millions?

And also to leverage a bigger payday from your current job. Shows you mean

Ya think ! Glad he is a hot commodity

towerman

12/7/21 8:35am

Yeah, KS had no idea that existed at BYU before he took the job. Good grief

kansascougar

12/7/21 7:13am

I'm sure he knew it existed. I'm also sure he had no idea to what extent it

jcase16byu

12/7/21 7:16am

He was an asst. with no head coaching exp. before he took the BYU job.

DiamondMo

12/7/21 7:30am

He didn't have Nike University courting him when he took the job at BYU.

Ikuna

12/7/21 7:42am

Because politics and red tape don't exist at other schools? He's not that naive

Tare

12/7/21 11:11am

I dont doubt that there is truth to this, but what exactly would he like to do

NacoCoug

12/7/21 11:11am

Because Oregon doesn't have red tape or bureaucracy. Or politics, either.

spoxjox

12/7/21 11:22am

Probably the fact it took so long to increase his contract

byukarl

12/6/21 11:36pm

He didn't really deserve it before that, he was struggling to get bowl eligible

wabluecoug

Oh I know.

Oh brother please, Holmoe exercised patience and confidence in Kalani after a 4

BYU Grounds

12/6/21 11:39pm

Yep, but then you have to keep hiring new assistants

byukarl

12/6/21 11:43pm

??? What assistants did Bronco lose? Grimes and Anae?

Brigham

12/6/21 11:59pm

I'm skeptical about this inside information

Remigius

12/6/21 11:44pm

And just because he interviews doesn't mean he would take it if an offer came

Tricky

12/6/21 11:43pm

He should. There will be no more Lavells. BYU will need to pay to keep coaches

fulano

12/7/21 9:49am

If I'm Kalani I push BYU hard to compensate staff and himself

Kyle makes $5M+ — Highly doubt BYU matches Utah.

He's also been at it longer and has a higher rate of success (+PAC $)

Meh…look I don’t want Kalani to go but I wouldn’t blame him one bit if he left

cougarfanatic

12/6/21 11:38pm

Any person with an ounce of ambition takes the interview. NBD.

BlackBart

12/6/21 11:46pm

Why wouldn't he? But Oregon won't offer and Kalani won't leave.

dYrtbYkerYder

12/6/21 11:50pm

His agent is for sure pushing it & professionally you can always listen

12/7/21 7:02am

Kalani needs BYU as much as BYU needs him. Grass isn’t always greener.

fan32

12/7/21 8:28am

He'd be stupid not to. Provides the leverage he needs to get what he wants.

Bluedarts

12/7/21 1:04am

So? Probably just for leverage right?

ColonelMustard

12/7/21 2:00am

I have no doubt that he reached out to his mentor KWhitt of how to handle this.

panacablue

12/7/21 5:29am

Trust Kalani. BYU isn't going to change their campus administration for a football coach and they won't pay an

Bert609

Agree But

kahuna

12/7/21 6:38am

Remember when KS was DC at Utah and Chris Hill played games with his contract

Charles Darwin

12/7/21 6:41am

True, in that case, history is on our side. Unlike Chris Hill, BYU went out of their way to extend Kalani's contract

Bert609

12/7/21 7:18am

Things weren’t stable at Utah at the time you are referencing. Dr. Hill refused

kansascougar

12/7/21 7:24am

If this gets fumbled after the last two seasons from someone who loves BYU

Tangotongo

I’d be surprised if Oregon offered Kalani the job.

Not sure if it is "draining the coffers".

Very True!! I'm just saying the liberal PAC would smile at any chance to dig at

CT98

you honestly think there is ANYONE in the PAC 12 even thinking about that?
