Whitt is our best long term coach and deserves a statue.
Urban was our best 2 year coach

We aren’t Michigan but we beat them. So I am not complaining about our run of the last 20 years.

I do think we may need to evolve soon.

I’d like to give Whitt the opportunity to demonstrate that this year was an aberration. If he cannot get bowl eligible next year, then this year was not an aberration.

Aloha, I truly respect your loyalty to Coach Whitt. My biggest issue with Whitt is that we had 6 games where we led or were within striking distance late into the 4th quarter. We lost ALL of these games. This is not acceptable in my book. This shows me that Whitt has lost this team and his ability to win games.

Does he deserve to stay, based…[Read more]

Absolutely has to be trolling. No one in their right mind says He deserves another 4 or 5 at minimum if he wants it to turn it around.

The next step is what it has always been, what it is in any conference. We need to win consistently here before we have anything to say, before we have an opinion that can be taken seriously. Conference realignment was a reset, what once was is of little consequence. I guess you could call it unburdened by what has been. Goodness that sounds dumb.

Whitt’s best year was his fourth year. Every year after that, he has had major coaching issues that have screwed over Utah.

2008: Almost lost to New Mexico. Should have lost to TCU.
2011: Can’t beat Colorado to go to the PAC-12 title game.
2019: Got blown out by Oregon when a win puts him in the playoffs.
2021: Went with Brewer over Rising.…[Read more]

The old school coaches Whitt Gundy Ferentz have been trending in the wrong direction. They’re two generations removed from the incoming players. Young players want younger coaches that can relate. Lansing Smart Riley have the pulse of the new generation of athletes. They have big NIL backing them and have more innovative visions.

Pretty sure staying in a Pac-12 WITH USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington was not an option.

Pac-12 without those four teams and Big-12 without OU and Texas were the only two options.

Based on that, it was a lateral move, though current B12 fans might argue that the Big-12 without OU and Texas is better than whatever a remnant Pac-12 would have been…[Read more]

The citizenship requirements are the biggest hurdle keeping most players from going to the CFL

A HS coaches best chance is to catch on as a coordinator. The example I know about is Art Briles who was running a new offense and trucking people in Texas. He got hired on as Houston’s OC, then moved to HC before taking the Baylor job.

I’m sure there are more but the only high school HC going straight to top level college HC I remember was…[Read more]

My unpopular opinion is that Whitt while good, has difficulty adjusting and that is where is faults come up. This game is all about ajduting. Either you do our you lose.

All true things for me.

1. We would look terrible in ANY conference this year with what has happened.
2. I don’t like the B12 and it wasn’t my desired destination
3. The places I’d rather be either disappeared or didn’t want us
4. College FB is imploding due to $$, Realignment games, NIL, and transfers so it probably won’t matter in 5 years.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree. I do not believe previous success should let this season be overlooked. 2012 & 2013 I could forgive because he needed a fair shot to get PAC level recruits & money, we saw what happened when he got that. This year and last he doesn’t have those crutches.

As I said I’ll admit he possibly could turn it around,…[Read more]

Urban Meyer is probably the best coach Utah has had (so far ), but he didn’t stick around very long.

Kyle Whittingham has been a great coach with some glaring blind spots (offense, fan engagement). I am not in the camp that thinks he should be fired or forced out, but I really wish that he would adapt a little bit more on offense.

Throughout…[Read more]

I’ve purposely avoided saying anything bad about the Big12 other than that I would rather be in a west coast conference. But I do wish Big12 school / fan would recognize that Utah joining that conference without Oklahoma and Texas in it would be like any of their teams joining a PAC-12 without USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington. They wouldn’t be…[Read more]

I agree, but a coach as good as Urban is not going to stay at Utah, therefore, Whittingham is the greatest coach Utah could have that would stay long term.

How do you explain the last 10 years under Scalley then? He’s a proven winner. Get over it.

We don’t have a full running back. Sorry. We don’t. We have a 6-10 play running back. We can’t close games.
