Ugh. Honestly? Probably neither.

On the one hand, you have a guy who has been here a long time, but peaked in 2021 and has been getting worse ever since. Hell, even 2021 started off as a complete shit show as he started Brewer or Bentley over Rising and it wasn’t until we lost to BYU and SDSU that Whitt pulled his head out of his ass and started…[Read more]

I gave up my season tickets this year after 19 years of having those seats and 33 years of living and dying with the program ever since I moved here. I haven’t been as supportive as CobraUte above, but I have been to numerous road games and Bowl games. I still watch every game (most twice) and I went to two games this year with cheaper secondary…[Read more]

Cobra,
Where are your seats located? I’m looking for an upgrade. I Have two seats in section S3, which doesn’t work since there are 5 of us. I plan on keeping my existing while added a few additional somewhere else.

Barkley’s first 70+ yard TD run, Covey had the last block on two secondary players that helped him score untouched.

Here is an article about it:

This is what Google said:

Yes, it’s common for high school football coaches to move on to college football, and many successful college coaches have started their careers in high school:
Gus Malzahn: Coached at various high schools in Arkansas for 14 years before moving on to college
David Cutcliffe: Coached at Banks High School in Alabama for…[Read more]

If you look at the successful coaches in the FBS they all seemed to have moved up through the ranks staying at the college level having served at low-paying roles as “graduate assistants” and “analysts” to get started rather than getting established in the HS coaching ranks. That said, having a guy who knows Utah HS football from the inside might…[Read more]

I hear you cobraute. You are the epitome of a true Ute fan. You’ve been through all the early lows (70s-80s) middle (90s- 2004) highs (2005-2023). It’s been an amazing journey for us. Going to the Sugar bowl with my dad ( my mom passed away a month before) and brothers was one of the highlights of my life.

There are many of us older Utes on Ute…[Read more]

Yes, I was looking forward to watching him show what he could do as a Receiver, and then he got injured.
Hope he gets another chance.

Yes it is. The injury came at a bad time for him They were just beginning to use him as a receiver, then he gets hurt.

I wish Covery the bet. He is a great Ute.

By the way Vele is doing great at Denver. I am happy to see that. No we need to get Kincaid healthy again.

Let me ask this question, Aloha, If you were king for a day and could choose who would be the coach on January 1st, would you choose Whiit or Scalley? Throw out everything else like Whitt’s contract, his status as a Ute football icon, etc. Who would be the best person to rebuild this program?

If Whitt does not go on his own, he will be the…[Read more]

In addition to some workhorse RBs, I’d position that it’s better to pay a little less and get 3 medium/3-star backs but pay money to OL. Some systems can plug and play decent RBs with a great line rather than having to have a good line with an outstanding RB (which are in high demand and have to stay healthy).

If you build from the trenches out,…[Read more]

I’d say give him one more year to turn it around, I think all coaches should be given a minimum 3 years.

But this isn’t Coach’s 2nd year, it’s his 20th and this is his first failure of a season. He deserves another 4 or 5 at minimum if he wants it to turn it around. He’s earned at least that much.

No way that the move from the PAC to the B12 was a lateral one. The PAC had USC, Oregon, and UW. The B12 has nobody even close to that level. It’s an elite basketball conference and that’s about it.

Wait, is the OP serious or just a metaphor for something?

7 game losing streak. Rough equivalents in other sports would be 100 straight losses in MLB, or 50 straight in the NBA. The only people who don’t find losing 7 straight a fireable offense are rooting for the man and not the program.

The real question for everyone for anyone wanting Whitt to stay right now is: “How bad does it really have to get…[Read more]

Sometimes a team has to fail in order too succeed, but the obvious mishandling of players, mismanagement of the game would have me asking some serious questions.

Personally, Whitt would get another season, but with an extremely short leash. By game 3 if there isn’t a noticeable difference there’d be a change.

Yup, I said this since the beginning of NIL and the announcement of USC/UCLA leaving the pac 12. For the last 15 years, I’ve spent all day Saturday watching CFB from 9am-10pm. But I’ve spent 3 Saturdays this years not watching any CFB live, and only watching some highlights. I simply do not care that much anymore. NIL and the P2 has killed mos…[Read more]
