you mean planes from Vegas can go more places than just Salt Lake? that can’t be true

follow up: The concept of the more points you score, the better your chances of winning feels so intuitive that I can’t believe it’s not on Whitt’s analytics sheet.

Whitt has coached 252 games (not counting 2005 Fiesta Bowl) and won 166 of them (.659). His win % by points scored in his career:

0-10: 0-23 (.000)
11-20: 14-26 (.350)
21-30: 49-29…[Read more]

Clickbait as an art form.

Hence the offense will still be boring and lethargic no matter who he hires as OC because at the end of the day, he will still interfere with the offense and put his defense on the field two-thirds of games to save his ass from losing.

This time, instead of holding on to leads like in times past, opponents have countered that plan and beating him…[Read more]

No update, but mindless thoughts should be your title.

a 42-21 win counts the same as 24-3. Lots of coaches have figured that out. Not all, but lots.

I’ve definitely never heard the golf narrative

Are the disproven stories in the room with us right now, pedro?

You can’t even play 280 rounds in a summer.

The ironic thing about that Whittingham philosophy is that the offensive crap he has put on the field is so riddled with three and outs that his defense is on the field all the time anyway. A fast paced offense certainly wouldn’t be a risk to the defense being on the field too much anymore than what we’ve seen with recent offenses of his.

If Whitt is the head coach – he will never hire a coach who runs a fast-paced offense. He wants the offense to have long (time-consuming) drives that keeps his defense off the field. I hope when Scalley becomes the head coach that he will allow a faster-pace offense when it makes sense.

They’ve got nothing else.

Are we officially in off season entertainment mode? Wait, isn’t KW meeting with CR this week to determine if he wants to come back for year 8? Looking forward to episode #3 of KW and CR doing another Bad Moon Rising truck video announcing a comeback with IW, Huerd, and Rose laid up in the truck bed. This off season is going to be fun!

Rising needed some investment property.

Some of these I agree with others I disagree with. Regardless, I want Whit to stay. He’s one of the great coaches in the country, not just coaches, but CEO’s of a CFB team. It’s a lot more than just coaching. I hope he stays.

As for #1 – part of this issue is the rule changes. The games rules are set up to score a lot of points. You can’t fight the system. When the system says “score points” you trying to not score points as your main emphasis is too hard.

2- part of this is Whitt can’t keep players long enough. Look at JaQuindon Jackson and Greg Lloyd. Jackson…[Read more]

I think the “best-case scenario” for Utah is, Whittingham announces his retirement, and Scalley takes over. Scalley then poaches Jay Hill as our new DC, and hires a strong OC — whomever that may be.

And for the record, I’m not in the “fire Whittingham” camp. I think he’s one of the best coaches to have every taken the helm of a…[Read more]
