I mean the amount of blame fans threw his way despite him being a true freshman. The rumors of the locker room troubles and not getting along with the team. It’s not surprising.

If I were Beck first thing I’d be doing is trying to convince him to stay. I know many are down on him but I think his ceiling is highest from what else is on the roster or who we could feasibly get in the portal.

I think there’s a lot of angst as the landscape is changing rapidly in CFB and the program really needs solid leadership now more than ever.

Its clear Whitt’s a legend, just his coaching style doesn’t work with today’s NIL/Portal era. Scalley seems to be a good fit for the new era and playbooks need to be learned in 3 months, not 3 years. We…[Read more]

I think it was inevitable.

Similar take to Miami. I went w/ 3 stars. I think Beck is promising (and as good as we could’ve gotten), but I don’t think we know enough (or have seen enough) to go any higher. I’m encouraged by what he’s done at where he’s been. I’m very intrigued by the strong run game New Mexico generated (this is a part of Utah’s identity / formula for…[Read more]

I think every Ute fan has his/her own opinion. As for me, I am very frustrated about the last 16 months. I could make a long list of things that upset me that have nothing to do with wins or losses.

I love what Whitt did for our program, but IMO it is time for him to step down and turn things over to his student, Morgan Scalley. But, I am am…[Read more]

I wish people on here were generally more optimistic about things. I feel like most people (or at least the loudest voices) tend to be chronically half glass empty. And although I like to have all perspectives to inform my own perspective, I wish there was a little more hopeful commentary here. It’s good to have the reality checks and sometimes…[Read more]

Gundy won them the Fiesta Bowl a few years ago.

The reasons why I think it’d be more reasonable to fire Gundy versus Whitt: We had a really bad year, but they had a REALLY bad year. We were 5-7 and all our losses were arguably competitive/close. They were 3-9 and got blown out a bunch of times. Their players quit on the season. Ours didn’t.…[Read more]

I would be excited if we got this guy. I’m not even sure we could get him if we tried hard? Somebody that passed for 2,700 yards, ran for 1,000, and accumulated 31 total TDs w/ 12 INTs seems like a hot commodity. I’m ignorant to our other options. What other good QBs are in the portal (or might be in the portal soon) that we could…[Read more]

I mean…OSU isn’t wrong. College coaches are so overpaid. Why pay someone like Whitt or Gunny, who have never won it all and can’t win a big bowl game, all that money?

Cut their contracts to 3-4 million and take the other half and give it to the players.

I like what Oklahoma State is doing. Utah should do it as well.

We could get Jay Hill…[Read more]

I wonder what a good punter costs these days? 20-50K? Worth upending your life and moving somewhere new?

I gave hims four stars! I just read his bio on wiki and this is all I am going on. I am a positive thinker, and expect he will bring some exciting new blood to the Offense.

Beck is pretty much a proven commodity. He has been successful in coaching QBs, and most recently in directing the offense at a college level school.

What remains to get…[Read more]

It seems like there are a lot of Utes doing well in the NFL.

He knows that our offense is going to be so good next year that he’ll never get opportunities to punt!

Dampier is an INT machine. So I’m not sold on him either.

I’ll take that RB though!

🤣 How do you know I’m not Harlan?

That would make sense. I was looking at it like he wasn’t even on a roster.

Either way, he just entered the portal.
