Sitake would have been a better option than Campbell

His team beat Notre Dame and is undefeated. He literally does do more with less as he was quoted a few months ago lamenting how little resources he has at BYU versus what he saw was available at PSU during the coaching search. The Notre Dame team he beat today has at least double his NIL war chest. Per insiders a number of his best players were coming with him to Happy Valley before cookie crumble got involved and ruined Krafty the Klown’s pinky swear non-written agreement. Goodness what could’ve been.

Gotta give credit to Pat Kraft for identifying a great, out-of-the-box coaching candidate.
He and Neeli were enamored with him but deserve no credit as he could not get him across the written finish line. He then lost Chesney who wanted to be here but left with the news on Sitake and then was left with Daboll and Rees until Campbell came along. We are totally effed over the next 3-4 years if Campbell cannot get it together. We cannot afford to go a different direction with that buyout. This is looking worse than the sanction years. At least that depleted team had balls.

We are not getting it together in any significant way. Kraft can't get enough NIL so we will do okay in the portal for next season but not spectacular. Call it 7-5 maybe 8-4.

Probably 8-4 in '28. Then what? We are never getting close to elite or 10 win seasons under Campbell from what I see and if we do make the playoff it is only because it expanded to 24 and we lose in the first rd.

Need to cut bait with Campbell after year 3 while canning Kraft next year. Then the new AD can reenergize/revitalize NIL and have Campbell on a 2 year secret probation. My prediction is the new AD won't be satisfied with the trajectory of the program after the '28 season and cans Campbell.

Then a new search which hopefully is better than what we just went through and we get a guy that is actually a keeper.

I have to agree with this and I’ve been highly critical of PK. Of course, he never got him over the finish line with is a massive blunder.

I never saw the fit with Sitake but no question his team was playing tough football last night and he is a winner. Looks like it would’ve been a good hire.
