Rumor says his wife makes over $100,000 as Provo mayor. Maybe it is time to slow down even though he is only 54.

I would have thought some would have been excited that Kalani finally went out and hired a Bronco Mendenhall product instead of somebody from his inner circle.
I would have been excited if he didn't, at the same time, get rid of probably our best position coach on the staff (who was also great under Bronco)
From what I've heard, Kaufusi is leaving of his own accord. He's ready to drop a few gears in his work life and make room for his wife to be all in as the new mayor of Provo.

Who said Kalani fired him?

I didn't say fired, because I don't know that he was fired... but I have been involved in "managing" more than one person "out the door" so to speak. That's what this felt like to me (from afar) So I was assuming that that was the scenario and why I said "got rid of."

Ben Criddle is proposing today that it wasn't of Steve's accord. That he was fired.

I think Criddle said it feels like Kaufusi was fired. Didn't claim to know it or have heard otherwise. I think what Criddle was referring to is Tuiaki's refusal to put Kaufusi back on the DLine where he wanted to be--where he could coach his boys. He could have stayed at LB coach, but that's not what he wanted.

From what I've heard from non-media friends, this was Steve's call and he was just waiting to see if BYU could find him another position in the building before making it public.

When your employer is willing to let you continue your job in the present position, that's not anywhere close to being fired. It just might feel like it.

Defense will suck again next year.
Fixed it for you

although you might have actually meant
Defense will suck even worse next year.

Haha! Verdict is still out whether it will be worse. I know there's some room for it to sink lower, but I am trying to be optimistic.
