He coached the defense when originally hired. Most of his teams weren't good on defense. Fortunately, the offense made up for it.

tidbits from former star player from last year...

I seriously doubt Salt Lake told him to tone it down.

I’ve always been able to designate the sport or athletic dept fund. None of it goes to the university general fund.

There's a disclaimer that says the donation is church property and will be used

The fine print says the money may not be used as you designated it.

He is the AHC, it makes sense that he oversees many things.

Convenient that he oversees nearly every aspect of the program that fans get frustrated by and Kalani conveniently

Zach Morris

12/4/22 10:51am

Kalani isn't Harbaugh, Swinney, Sabin, or Dykes. Stop thinking he is. That isn't his pedigree nor who he is as a person.

Lavell ran his staff similarly. It’s probably where he got it from.

It seems like there’s a very simple solution. Take the donation check intended for BYU football and give it to football.
