I think we all know that when it is all said and done there will probably be 10-15 guys transfer out. If we can limit the number of guys who can really contribute moving forward, we will be fine.

Glover and Pittman, so far, but we already knew that.

Offensive guys have a lot of gripes but also not a lot of film to put out there for other teams.
Makes me wonder obviously about a lot of things. Could be Whitt and Scalley working wonders. Could be not a lot of market space for what Utah had offensively. I assumed Fano would be poached heavily.

I had that thought too. If that is the case, that’s pretty good leadership on Whit’s part.

Interesting observation.

CALIMAN I WANT TO TRUST YOU BUT IM SCARED TO!

realistically though, if you were Whitt would you change the way you do business? National Coach of the year, 4 straight CCG’s.,, all the reasons the keep Whitt crowd trumpets are the same reasons Whitt follows his formula.

Saban realizing that if he wanted to have a chance at the NC every year meant that he needed to embrace offense is an…[Read more]

Which leads me to believe they know who the OC is gonna be already. And they know Whitt’s plan and are comfortable with the direction of the program.

Ah crap, I wouldn’t mind Marion, but now Caliman said it, so it’s not. Freakin’ jinx

Oklahoma feels like the next Nebraska. Great history, top dog of their small, shitty conference, leave for a new conference and can’t get back to the top.

If you’re a recruit, and Oklahoma and Nebraska offer you, why would you go there over Ohio State, Michigan, Penn St, Alabama, Texas, A&M, Auburn, LSU, etc?

The biggest problem with Whittingham in regards to offense was that he did not believe the offensive woes were his fault. How do we know he didn’t believe the mistakes were his fault you say? Because he has fired 8 offensive coordinators in his tenure, but the offense basically looked the same no matter which OC came in. This indicates that…[Read more]

I can understand why an up and coming OC in their right mind is not going to risk their career coaching under KW while he’s day to day on retirement plan trying to go out with a feel good season. KW’s track record with OCs spanning 20 years has to be a factor. The only OC basically keeping KW with a winning P12 record walked out the door mid…[Read more]

The timing on the OC announcement is usually an indicator. Arbuckle’s team didn’t have anything to play for this week and he wasn’t go to stay for a bowl. Same with Kittley (Texas Tech) going to FAU or Malzahn to FSU.

That would indicate one of two things: 1) Utah’s OC hire is at a G5 playing a CCG this weekend (Vegas, Boise, Tulane, Army,…[Read more]

I see a lot of people commenting about money, opportunity, etc…lest we forget, in Andy Ludwig Utah had the second highest paid offensive coordinator in the nation, making what some OCs in the SEC and B1G make look like chump change. Money is not the issue here. Guaranteed that if Utah wanted Arbuckle and Arbuckle wanted Utah, that deal would…[Read more]

That’s it in a nutshell. I agree with everything you say there from the personal to the football.

I think Utah’s current coaching situation could be unappealing for a lot of coordinators. Let’s be honest any idiot is going to come in and “improve” Utah for 2025 and you have to watch for 2026 to see the real sauce. Mainly because the floor is so low on the offense after 2023 and 2024. Whitt hasn’t exactly propelled his coordinators to head coac…[Read more]

Or Utah didn’t want to pay the price. It could have been steep to draw him away. I don’t think it was one just one reason.

Yes, the SEC has more money. But, as I did with my own career – (a long time ago) I took less money for a job that I thought would be best for my future.

An OC could be very interested in an opportunity to start something new with a new head coach. It could be very good for his career if he delivers. Also, Utah pays its coordinators very…[Read more]
