BYU football coach Kalani Sitake signs a ‘long-term’ contract extension
The university did not specify the length of the extension, which was announced late Saturday night, only that it would"keep Sitake as the leader of the Cougars ’ football program well into the future."
“ Kalani builds strong connections with our football student athletes that help them grow and develop as players on the field, and, more importantly, he helps strengthen our men for their lives after football,” BYU athletics director Tom Holmoe said in a news release. “Kalani’s signing signals his loyalty to a program he has poured much of his life into as a young fan, a player and our head coach.
Sitake’s previous contract ran through 2027. He was given this extension after leading the Cougars to a 10-win season, though his team fell just short of reaching the Big 12 title game. “I have said this many times, but before I became the coach at BYU, I was first a Cougar fan and then a player here. We have the best fans in the world. I remain humbled to be the head coach at this great university and believe in its mission,” Sitake said in a release. “I love the outstanding young men, coaches and staff we have in our program, and I’m excited about the opportunities we have ahead competing in the Big 12 Conference.
