I think Kalani can improve as far as his ability to have BYU play more consistently to its ability. Saying that I think the issue is specifically the coaching staff's inability to get the team to play well more frequently and more specifically to play well enough to beat the teams it should 90%+ of the time. That to me is the first hallmark of a good head coach. Win the games you should almost all the time and in time you should be able to improve your talent so that the portion of the college football playing world included in the "teams you should beat" pie also gets bigger.
So what one earth is this tradeoff you allude to in that Kalani is making a conscious decision to build a long term culture that is an impediment to immediate success? What decisions is he making that will benefit BYU in the future but is mitigating success now?
The way I see it is that BYU, if it plays well, can play with just about anybody who is not a legitimate top 15 team but seems to really lay some eggs when it should not against teams significantly less talented than BYU. I don't think that inconsistency is the result of any trade off Kalani is making but is the result of his inability to get BYU to play its best as frequent as a good head coach could.
I agree we should be patient in the hope Kalani can improve and not to see the fruits of decisions he has made/is making that we are on the cusp of seeing which were purposely made with the premeditated understanding we would be more limited in the early years but benefitted more in time. Unless you can point me in the direction of what those decisions were/are.
