ManicBlue Intervention Needed

I wrote recruits that were considering BYU for a variety of reasons (church, academics, etc) NOT just because of the coaches that just might being the reasons they're deciding to NOT commit to BYU.

(Does the all CAPS help?) smh

Call me cynical but I don't expect major changes to the coaching staff

We will have a new DC... he only comes if he chooses the staff

1984coug

11/21/22 12:42pm

I want the San jose St guy

LeonMarek

11/21/22 12:54pm

potentially a really good fit

1984coug

11/21/22 12:57pm

He gave us 30+ points to USU last week

BYU Fan

11/21/22 2:13pm

7 was from a punt return.

LeonMarek

11/21/22 2:26pm

Okay - so 28 from the defense and 7 from special teams

BYU Fan

11/21/22 2:55pm

Legas is a different qb than their original- should’ve gone with him to start

1984coug

11/21/22 3:56pm

Maybe you should pay attention to what he has done as a DC there and

Turned them around? To being ranked 75th this year? No thanks. We should be able to do better.

I think our defense is ranked 104 right now. I believe our defense was ranked

Way to aim high. Hahahaha smh

Why?

Are you just guessing here or do you have some info?

Kalani knows this hire/change will determine his job- he’s gone soon if

1984coug

11/21/22 1:20pm

BYU would really stomach that buyout? That doesn't seem BYU-like

TNT

11/21/22 7:35pm

Byu wouldn’t, but some donors would… what will be funny is when/if it happens

1984coug

11/21/22 7:39pm

I think we get a new DC from outside the program

DanSmith

11/21/22 12:43pm

I agree

Zip

11/21/22 1:23pm

I would love to see a complete revamp of defense, and special teams.

Loafer

11/21/22 12:44pm

Ryan Pugh should be given a shot imo

AZPTCOUG

11/21/22 10:05pm

I completely agree.

Loafer

11/22/22 12:40am

I think he would be great, however, given the other recent race allegations with

LeonMarek

11/22/22 5:53am

Biggest worry for me is that Funk is retained. He does not deserve to be.

kimdaddy35

11/21/22 12:47pm

If he is, it will be his last year, the guy is transient, never stays long

1984coug

11/21/22 12:48pm

After seeing his coaching, not sure his leaving locations is ever his choice

Loafer

11/21/22 1:30pm

This was predictable when they hired him. He was an uninspiring hire.

FatThor

11/21/22 2:54pm

Then I'll put the money into a new home theater instead

I don’t expect any changes….

Penske Material

Why wouldn’t you? It’s obvious change is coming.

andrewg3

11/21/22 8:53pm

Even though we’ve all seen Kalani execute such big changes, some people will

Desertcoug85

11/23/22 1:56pm

Well? Any thoughts?

andrewg3

11/27/22 9:36pm

Changes are definitely coming.

11/21/22 2:49pm

Lamb is also still the assistant head coach, I’m pretty sure. He may have other

Desertcoug85

11/21/22 3:55pm

Lamb is over our 115th ranked 'special' teams so ...

ManicBlue

11/21/22 4:16pm

That’s a pretty low number 🙁

Desertcoug85

11/23/22 1:50pm

He got demoted to coaching Special teams only. He's gone.

wildlandfireguy

11/21/22 4:31pm

So he really was stripped of his assistant head coach duties? Interesting.

Desertcoug85

11/23/22 1:50pm

Hadley ain't coming back, nor should he.

TheLoneCougar

11/21/22 4:04pm

That's fine.

wildlandfireguy

11/21/22 4:31pm

I think he has potential to be a good coach, but he’s not there yet

1984coug

11/21/22 4:31pm

Not sure if it is cynical or just facing the facts

Pergamino

11/21/22 3:15pm

Thankfully, I don’t think Tom and Kalani really operate in the “word got out”

Desertcoug85

11/21/22 3:53pm

You're not cynical. You have watched and learned from how this head coach works

provokid

These are the Changes that are coming.

I have to say I'm in the same boat there...

I don’t either. I’m usually not for in season changes, but I felt this one

Cougarite

11/21/22 6:06pm

What does that say about his head coaching abilities?

TNT

11/21/22 7:37pm

That he made some miscalculations and less than stellar decisions. People want

Desertcoug85

11/23/22 2:06pm

I’m just not sure exactly why so many of you are convinced in season was so

Desertcoug85

11/23/22 1:54pm

I wanted to see more of a change than I saw. Maybe I was thinking back to

Desertcoug85

11/24/22 5:21pm

It's that it signals definite change. I'm guessing the players, recruits and fans

ManicBlue

11/23/22 6:22pm

Point is, you’re guessing. We don’t know if recruits are changing their minds

Desertcoug85

11/24/22 5:22pm

Exactly but letting the coaches responsible for the terrible defense at least gives hope for something better. Also

ManicBlue

11/24/22 6:07pm

It gives you and I better hope is all. I don’t see how a recruit could feel

Plus we all know BYU is super slow at hiring. This will drag into Feb

Very true, and one of the more frustrating things about the situation. I don’t

Desertcoug85

11/24/22 5:27pm

They are under contract so even if they are let go their contract is paid out

Well that’s nice, and a good thing for the coaches . Still, I bet there are

Desertcoug85

11/25/22 3:09pm

No one in any industry wants to get fired no matter the timing.

Blue for Life

The best reason for letting coaches go early is to give potential hires a chance to evaluate their interest
