a few years back.

Yet, I think Rhule is a good showman who couldn't touch Kalani when it comes to player relationships etc.

That's what I've seen multiple places too. Might just be one source and it's bad, but it's definitely making the rounds.

Does that make sense from the man who keeps a notebook on coaching?

Could be the Justin Wilcox crowd too spreading it. He's always got weird stuff going on when there's a job opening

PAC12 schools would never do that.

Doubt his information is correct. If it is, it's probably because Kalani is just

Might be biased against Kalani and an an LDS school

Why would he give them all three steps in his plan before they hire him?

He's a players coach. It is what it is.

Probably stated he’d have to “look at the film” before deciding.

Do you have a link to Justin's report?

It's behind paywall. I talked to two Ducks fans who subscribe. Take it FWIW.

it was a non committable offer..

I love Kalani but he isn't going to wow anyone who doesn't know and love him on

fulano

Why do you say that? Have you ever had a personal conversation with the man?

kccougar

12/7/21 3:35pm

Good point. I am basing it on how he kind of rambles when speaking to the media

These interviews are heavily weighted on your resume, experience, winning

Yunit

Yup. Totally heard the same thing. He was especially weak

Cougarclaw

They found his willingness to play a full schedule in 2020 unacceptable. #unsafe

Kalani is winning many high profile jobs based on his ability to interview. Definitely not his strong suit.

Zach Morris

You've interviewed him before? How did that go?

kccougar

Watch the majority of his own interviews on TV. He struggles anytime he is forced to deviate from canned coach speak. It

Exactly. Some coaches skills are being cerebral and exceptionally intelligent. Some guys are just players coaches that

I actually doubt that at that level the interview is going into organization,

Skeptical Optimist

Exactly. These HC interviews are somewhat of a formality and mainly for fit.

Ducks: "What is your biggest weakness?" Kalani: "I have a soft spot for Utah." Ducks: "Get out"

Kalani just wanted to visit Oregon to remind them of who the real Pac12 champ

I'll drink a rootbeer to that if it is true.
