A Coach Who Connects
Kalani Sitake enters his 11th season leading BYU after winning 23 games over the past two years, a total topped by only four other FBS coaches. His style traces back to his time playing for LaVell Edwards in the 1990s, carrying forward a legacy of success that includes 257 victories and 19 conference titles along with the 1984 national championship.
Staying Home
Athletic leadership viewed his retention as essential to maintaining recent momentum and building toward national contention.
Legacy in Focus
Peers describe Sitake as authentic and comfortable in his own skin, traits that stand out in a competitive field. He has grown close with several Big 12 colleagues despite on-field battles, bonding over shared experiences and a love of the game. Sitake now aims to become the first coach at the school since Edwards to guide the program close to another national title.
