Kalani Sitake isn’t going anywhere.
BYU’s beloved head coach has agreed to a long-term contract extension to remain with the Cougars, the school announced Tuesday evening.
Cougar fans were thrilled about keeping Sitake, and the rest of the college football world had plenty to say online as well — and yes, there were no shortage of cookie jokes.
Here are some of the best reactions from social media.
In the new era of college football (sports), the number of people like Kalani Sitake is dwindling.
Count your lucky stars you have Coach Sitake, BYU fans.

Penn State fired James Franklin because it believed National Championships were the standard, only to be turned down by the coach at BYU because the CEO of Crumbl Cookies outbid Penn State’s boosters. https://t.co/SNfLyt534v

Pat Kraft fired James Franklin to start the Penn State search as early as possible…
Spoke to Urban, NIL disagreements
Elko was close, couldn’t close
Spoke to Cignetti, Rhule, Freeman, Drinkwitz, and Lea. Struck out.
Banked on an Iron Bowl loss to full court press DeBoer…

Kalani Sitake staying at BYU is a massive blow to Penn State.
This is a disaster in State College. They thought this one was wrapped, now have to pivot very quickly.
My goodness

I come from a BYU family, so it’s always a great time to be BYU Cougar fan.
But the past few years have taken it to a whole new level. Things are happening that many of us could not envision becoming reality.

BYU just shoved a blue blood in a locker for resources. Truly a new era. Hope the committee is noticing
