He actually says: “Beck is the QB coach, but Detmer will be assisting with QBs”. Assisting, not an assistant.

They’re burning down the wrong building!

We liked the players Utah had, we just wanted them to be led better

I’m not certain there’s any school out there that can give Rising $1M to just sit on the sidelines. One, he’s experienced but experienced in Utah’s system. Two, he’s already proven multiple times that he’s an extremely fragile QB. That means that he can even get hurt while playing garbage time or in a substitute role. Three, if you give Rising…[Read more]

Great, clean slate.

No square pegs, round holes.

Get the guys you want to run your offensive scheme.

Cut all ties between the existing coaching staff and players and existing coaches are less likely to interfere.

However, Cam Rising is an elephant in the room. Until you tell Cam, the existing team and all prospects that Cam will not be here,…[Read more]

What are these off the field things? Like being a dick to other players, parents fighting Whit, or is there more to it?

If you set low expectations it his hard to get dissapointed!

LOL. you’re such a troll…

Sluka likely to Utah.

I agree. That’s also the reason why I’d be shocked if Rising was back with the team. Obviously, Utah won’t push him out but he’s got to know that there’s little chance that he would get any playing time and that his NIL gig would be over.

Furlong says he’s an assistant.

What a weird opinion to have about Whit. He’s been successful for 20 years and you just think he’s all the sudden a complete failure and incapable of reviving the program? Strange.

It’s fine with me, clearly we didn’t have much talent and I suspect the new OC is cleaning house.

Fortunately, this is the perfect year for this to happen considering this age of free agency that we are in. Beck will be able to bring in players that fit his system.

We’ll be just fine.

I think for Huard it is probably a reflection of OC. Otherwise doesn’t make sense

I just have to wonder what the decision process is for some of these players. For example, in my estimation, Utah was the last P4 chance for a guy like Huard, who’s already had opportunities and proven to be found wanting. My guess is that Huard goes back to some FCS program in a quest for some automatic playing time.

Agree, none of Utah’s QBs on the 2024 roster fit the player profile for Beck’s offense. Guessing Beck lands a couple QBs in the portal matched with Becks QB running scheme. Might see Becker also hit the portal being a pro-style QB. Either way, zero expectations for meaningful improvement with KW as head coach.

Rising is actually in a great spot. He may be the first ever million dollar backup in college football history. Imagine what Georgia would give right now to have Cam Rising coming in as an insurance policy heading into the playoffs. The boosters pay, he holds the clipboard and if your stud QB goes down you have a star level backup who you are…[Read more]

Which one? Walker Eget or Emmett Brown? San Jose State this season reminded me of FSU in the late 70s in the sense that they used two QBs extensively.
