success as a d coordinator. Never was successful out from under Whit’s shadow. Early defensive success at BYU was with some stud Bronco recruits. We were all hyped Kalani would be a great recruiter and we haven’t seen it yet

For those who are worried about the Nua rumors, remember this:

Good point although it might have been largely for recruiting

I'mBatman

12/2/22 1:20pm

You don't hire a line coach for just recruiting at Michigan and USC

Coug

12/2/22 1:24pm

You kind of do

darkcoug

12/2/22 1:30pm

I don’t think you have to. It’s USC and Michigan.

NorthwestCoug

12/2/22 1:51pm

Not all. Those schools recruit based on name and history alone, not a random DL coach.

TheLoneCougar

12/2/22 2:12pm

When you have Harbaugh and Riley... and bank vaults full of NIL money...

Coug

12/2/22 2:41pm

Recruiting has to be #1 going forward here and forever

RockyBalboa

You think that Hadley is making that call? 😅

BYU'01

12/2/22 2:35pm

Wasn't that Lamb's philosophy?

CameronG

12/2/22 3:22pm

No position coach makes the call on who to offer. Position coaches aren’t nec.

BYU'01

12/2/22 3:26pm

No but he’s talked about it publicly

I'mBatman

12/2/22 7:26pm

He has draft picks at Michigan and transformed Tuli in one year into an elite

BYUheaven

12/2/22 1:33pm

I am worried that Hill is not the DC, not that Nua is

2FarGone

12/2/22 1:20pm

As a DC?

ManicBlue

12/2/22 1:26pm

That’s how you get a steal

cougarbart

12/2/22 1:28pm

Maybe but BYU is not a G5 level team any more. Got to stop thinking that way.

ManicBlue

12/2/22 1:29pm

With the budget Kalani is given that’s probably still the reality

cougarbart

12/2/22 1:30pm

He has the budget.

Thrill

12/2/22 1:35pm

And you've seen it?:)

basman

12/2/22 1:46pm

This is false. Kalani's extension last year gave him P5 budget. Tom Holmoe said

Schultz is back

12/2/22 5:22pm

P5 budget huh? You sure about that?

TheLoneCougar

12/2/22 5:24pm

Yep, gotta stop thinking that way...when the budget and money hasn't changed at all. We aren't P5 yet and the BYU budget

TheLoneCougar

12/2/22 2:13pm

So, no 5-year plan. Stick with the 1-week plan.

akbarishiwatsu

12/2/22 2:34pm

Unfortunately, BYU doesn't operate that way and never has.

TheLoneCougar

12/2/22 2:38pm

It’s also how you get a flop. Like Tuiaki. It’s a gamble.

ColonelMustard

12/2/22 3:54pm

Nua's resume is so much better and stronger than Tuiaki's before he took over as DC.

TheLoneCougar

12/2/22 4:03pm

🙄 get back to me when Nick Saban hires him.

DieHarder

12/2/22 1:29pm

Bronco wanted to hire him....

Thrill

12/2/22 1:34pm

But not as a coordinator.

davidmj10

12/2/22 1:35pm

Cool, we are a lower level p5 not USC or Michigan.

BYUheaven

12/2/22 1:41pm

I’m not saying he won’t succeed. I would like to see someone with experience

davidmj10

12/2/22 1:52pm

Don’t think experience as Important as being 1 of Best Recruiter’s in the Nation

kahuna

12/2/22 2:06pm

It’s also a lot easier to recruit quality d line to Michigan and USC.

davidmj10

12/2/22 2:34pm

You won't say this when our defense has more holes than swiss cheese.

A bit of an overstatement as to Kalani’s

jre85

12/2/22 3:16pm

I like hiring line coaches to be coordinators. Focus on the foundation for good

BYUButters

12/2/22 5:28pm

Good point. Like I said I don’t know that Nua would be a mistake. Just

davidmj10

12/2/22 6:08pm

He is currently paid higher than any G5 defensive coordinator for a reason.

Corn

12/2/22 3:40pm

He’s been a DL coach under Ken N, J Harbaugh, and L Riley

RossoNeri

12/2/22 7:25pm

Yeah Lincoln Riley’s defenses have been awesome
