I don't get all the Kalani hate

Marc Spector

Apr 17, 1:14pm

His floor is low, and his ceiling is low sans Covid year. Not that hard to understand.

Haysom Till

Apr 17, 1:15pm

KS will be as good as the coaches he surrounds himself with. Great person & BYU guy.

Soupie

Apr 17, 1:15pm

This describes LaVell as well. I love Kalani and feel good about his staff

WallaX2

Apr 17, 1:19pm

You just described what every HC should be.

ManicBlue

Apr 17, 1:40pm

Yes but the caveat of surrounding himself with best hasn't always been the case.

Soupie

Apr 17, 2:10pm

I agree but now? I like the current staff. Calling for a wholesale change now is just stupid IMO.

ManicBlue

Apr 17, 2:11pm

Yes which was my point. The hate seems to be based on a situation that no longer exists but he needs to get it done now.

So, he's like every coach. K.

Not at all. Great head coaches elevate the performances of those around them.

Why pay a head coach millions if he can't augment the performance of his

Kalani is not a great leader of leaders. Not really even good at it. I love most other things about him. Great dude

Blue2thebone

Apr 17, 3:53pm

Your first sentence is much more describable of how fans feel than is hate.

Bullrider

Apr 17, 1:17pm

He's a bad coach. See: fake punting on 4th and 20. Twice.

Mitty

Apr 17, 1:18pm

Serious question. Is that enough to condemn a HC(not specifically KS) for?

palangi

To me it's inexcusable. It shows a complete lack of control of the program and

What is kalani good at. And by good I mean better than mediocre. The only thing I am sure of is garnering support

He probably does it because of this:

Kalani is a great ambassador and a great guy. Unfortunately they don't give us

Roy D Mercer

Apr 17, 1:25pm

He is a lazy recruiter. Half the team is from schools an hour from campus.

not a lazy recruiter. lets compare him and whitt. I've heard the pukes have a

Kalani is an exceptional person and that goes a long way

So, a sweet spirit?

I love Kalani. No hate here. Dude will get us into place. He just needs good

Don Carlton

Apr 17, 1:24pm

People just like to hate. Always needs to be a scapegoat. I am on team Kalani.

spidercoug

Apr 17, 1:24pm

But he IS a bad coach - way below average. He simply doesn't have the capacity

TeeKaa

Apr 17, 1:26pm

Jay Hill is a non-starter, but you’re all in on Darrell Bevell?

Ham

Apr 17, 1:26pm

We need to win. If he wins, great. If he doesn't, we need to move on.

RenoCoug

Your own description of Kalani is literally the definition of a mediocre HC. The

TheMediator

No hate here, but the trend since 2020 is obvious.

HuskerFan2

Apr 17, 1:28pm

You don't think SOS could have something to do with that trend (especially 2020

RGGeemer

Apr 17, 1:52pm

Perhaps. But if BYU only wins 3-5 games in 2024 is SOS going to be the main thing that fans are discussing?

HuskerFan2

Apr 17, 2:05pm

We'll win 6+

RGGeemer

Apr 17, 2:10pm

I hope you're right.

HuskerFan2

Apr 17, 2:14pm

Good dude that just doesn’t win enough games. That’s the bottom line.

Squirt

Apr 17, 1:32pm

I like him but I think he makes bad decisions and takes too long to correct them

AltTabbins

If TNT hears "we will have to watch the film" one more time......aiieeeeeeeeeeee

First fallacy: People hate Kalani. Nobody hates Kalani that I know of. Nobody

TCU and Iowa State were completely inexcusable. Then blowing a multi score lead

2020-2022 was a really good stretch

RGGeemer

Apr 17, 1:51pm

2022 was not good. We beat Baylor (overrated) and it was pretty much downhill

SoBlueitHurts

Apr 17, 2:03pm

It has been hard to get back on the Kalani train since that Liberty 2022 loss. WV 2023 was also very hard to take. Among

20 was against depleted high schools. Zero credit for that year.

TeeKaa

Apr 17, 2:13pm

Like Navy, Houston, UCF, etc?

RGGeemer

Apr 17, 2:29pm

Three teams that combined to go 12-17? Yes

SoBlueitHurts

Apr 17, 2:48pm

UCF was very good that year, certainly not a 'depleted high school team'.

RGGeemer

Apr 17, 2:55pm

I think the point is that BYU played no P5 teams that year. It was a complete G5

SoBlueitHurts

TNT

Apr 17, 3:13pm

I wouldn't call it hate. It's more like unmet expectations.

I love kalani. He is not a P4 head coach imo. My hope is in his assistants right the ship. My fear is a repeat of 2023

One of the biggest frustrations has been recruiting.

JJP

Wrong. There has been a Big 12 bump and he has recruited better than his

oryguncoug

Kalani does not drive a recruiting culture. Half the team is from Utah schools.
