Fire Kalani

[chrisrenrut]

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?

Please, please, please, please, please. . .

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.

Sorry to go all needle-neck wanker on you guys, but Kalani (seems to) run a clean program that turns out decent human beings. That's important too.

Based on how expansive your list is, might as well throw my hat in the ring.

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

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

Who would be better?

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

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.

[smokymountainrain]

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

i hope you're right.

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.

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.
