So anytime I hear about a boss who is labeled an asshole…my first reaction is “I get it. You want to get stuff done, you have to be an asshole.”

To a point, sure. But I’ve worked with way too many “leaders” whose only two modes were “Off” and “1000% Asshole”.

There definitely needs to be a balance, unless you’re fine with simply churning throu…[Read more]

See you at Alta, but the game is at 6PM.

Yeah, it will also be interesting to see if the team shows up to get a win, or is already checked out. Also, will they bother with a #2 quarterback, or just let Bernard take over if Bottari needs to come out of the game (or just start punting on first down)? I think I’m going to Alta, so hopefully someone will post a summary.

Borderline block in the back. Being engaged with the DB straight up first probably waived the flag from the ref. Covey seemed to let up at the right time. Not a new take, Covey has a very high football IQ. The past two years have shown more and more the significant impact he had on Utah football.

Good one NC. Yeah, a lot of coach speak in yesterday’s routine, obligatory Q&A with the restrained local media. Not much talk about the next game. Have to think Friday’s game has the tone of a back yard Turkey bowl. Hope all the players on both sides have fun. BS KW’s decision is determined solely by doing what’s best for the team. A piece of the…[Read more]

i will personally pony up some money for Wilson to transfer to BYU.

He is making about 1M per year for first three years. Hope he does well enough to get paid when he signs a new contract.

^^ This. Whitt could’ve easily earned more money by going elsewhere in his heydays, so I don’t fully get the 20 MM angle. Maybe it is a factor, but it may or may not be a substantial one.

This sounds like my teenager.

Assuming Scalley is HC, I’d be very happy if we could get Mullen (OC) and Hill (DC). The Mullen connection needs to be persuaded harder. He might be interested in going the Chip Kelly route.

Yeah. I tried. I really did. I tried to listen and be a good boss and praise and encourage and talk things through.

It doesn’t work. Most people are just assholes. But what does work is being a dick.

When I’m a dick, shit gets done. When I’m understanding and thoughtful and “let’s make a plan together” and “how can I help you accomplish your…[Read more]

See, this is one area that we need more information before we make any judgments. Whitt has tried to let QB’s sit for a year to learn.

Rising did it and excelled.
Jayden Daniels was going to do it, but then momma got involved and convinced Daniels to play right away at ASU.
Tuttle was supposed to do it and then daddy got involved and Tuttle…[Read more]

Is there anyone left who is not injured?!

Agree. Find a school with offensive stability. I’m sure he and his family are already on it. Kid’s been set up to fail by his HC and OC. No way he should been thrown into the situation as a true Frosh.

I had a mentor in a fortune 500 who taught me that if I didn’t piss someone off once a day, I’m not doing my job. A valuable lesson in the business world if you want to succeed.

I read a story once about a U.S. Navy officer reporting aboard a ship as the new executive officer. The captain told him “One of the two of us is going to be an S.O.B., and its not going to be me.”

I own a business. Bought it 4 years ago. I try to be kind and understanding. I listen to my employees, try to find out why they haven’t done what I’ve asked them to do and then tried to work together to find a solution. Then they make the same mistake.

What I am realizing is most people are either dumb, don’t care or lazy as shit.

And being…[Read more]

“I’ve heard he’s also an a-hole to work with sometimes.”

Aren’t we all?

Chris Petersen would transform the team. But once you get that sweet TV money and don’t have to deal with NIL and the boosters and the transfer portal and can just spout off about everyone else…why would you EVER go back?
