Fire Kalani

[Donuthole]

I was gonna say, "who started this thread." But your hands are clean. The Detmer thread still smarts though.

Remember when Shaka would go to that thread to argue that Detmer was a good OC? Lol. Simpler times.

To be to fair to Shaka, his mom might know his password and be posting from his account.

Kalani's mom posts from my account.

Dark times. That's a chapter that should be repressed from the conciousness of Cougar fans everywhere.

In my mind it's all a continuation of the misadventures of the Doman era and the complete mishandling of Heaps/Nelson/Taysom. The offense has never really recovered.

I like the move. He loves BYU. He’s improving. The players love him. He has some fine tuning to do as a head coach, but he’ll get there.

I honestly believe that if BYU is ever able to make a NY6/CFP appearance, it will be with Kalani’s recruits. Recruiting is just too competitive. He just needs to being in great coaches/teachers for development.

if i had my way, kalani would not be the coach at BYU. however, they either had to fire him or extend him - and after this recent winning streak, they weren't going to can him. iow, i get why they extended him, i'm mostly indifferent about it and i have to hope i'm wrong in thinking he's a shitty head coach.

I think you're wrong. He's an average HC with upside.

Who would be better?

[Jeff Lebowski]

I get the reservations about Kalani. I have a few myself. However:

1) The players and recruits seem to genuinely love him. That is significant and a good sign.

2) Yes, he loses some games we should win, but he has shown that he can win big games. Road game at Tennessee. USC. Boise State. Utah State. Those were all impressive wins. Ditto for Wisconsin last year.

3) Given our limited candidate pool, it would be stupid to ditch him under the current circumstances. He has very much earned an extension. Now lets see what he does.

Who would be better?

That is always the question i have. It is the same one I had for years with Rose - until Pope had some success at UVU. Kalani seems to be a great man, and he might be a good coach. I don't know how many great coaches, who meet the BYU unique qualifications, are out there. Maybe (and it is a BIG maybe) Jay Hill or A-Rod

Who would be better?

impossible to answer that without knowing exactly who the candidates are.

Because of the requirements placed on who is allowed to be a head coach at BYU, we know exactly who the candidates are

Let's see:

Kelly Poppinga
Anderson at Stanford
Andy Reid
Steve Young (with Jim McMahon as OC)
Ken N.
That prick up at Utah
The guy who still teaches the single wing formation at Skyline High
The OC with the Seahawks
Jay Hill
Greg Wrubell (he knows everything)
Derwin Gray (he's a priest right?)
Gordon Monson (same as Greg)
Derrik S.
Fred Whittingham

Who else?
