I defend the situation. He’s the DC, and I don’t see that changing.

I think some CBer’s think Kalani / Tom are actually going to listen to them.

I also defend him because if the D is struggling, I think it’s way more due to lack of talent , rather than scheme.

Georgia’s great D last year was due to 5 first round draft pick’s, 8 total drafted, not the scheme.

So maybe his fault is recruiting falling short. I think it’s harder to recruit at BYU than to ciach at BYU.

Tuiaki apologists: do you defend him because you truly believe he is a solid DC?

Too bad we never got to see a Bronco defense last year so we could compare.

I bet the BYU offense could have piled up points on Bronco's defense last year.

Tuiaki's results are typical of most DCs in BYU history.

Don't forget to add that Bronco put the best players on defense and had some truly underwhelming offenses.

Does the scheme impact the talent that goes to Provo? I have to believe it does.

I don’t think so. Winning matters most.

The arrogance of people to think they know more than Tom is off-putting to say the least.

Whatever. CB is full of guys who know more about defense and the players available than Kalani does.

My biggest issue is how married to his scheme he is. And how conservative play calling often is.
