We all know Scalley is the next HC and we hope he’s gonna be great.

FIFY

Instead of a hypothetical you should have labeled this thread fantasy choice.

We all know Scalley is the next HC and he’s gonna be great. He’s not Whit Jr he has a different offensive philosophy than Whit. He’s gonna bring young energy to the program.

My fantasy picks

Nick Saban
Jim Harbaugh

Sign me up as well. I’ll take 2 to 5 years that results in a playoff run over 20 years of consistency with a Rose Bowl loss ceiling.

Probably just here to Urban Meyer us. Which I’m ok with.

If those two years are DeBoer at UW level, sign me up.

The truth as I see it is that any coach who wins 9 games at Utah will be a commodity going forward. And I’ll take as many of those as you’re willing to throw at me. Whitt is a unicorn and current recruits have no idea who McBride i…[Read more]

Playing Wilson this year just moved up the inevitable. We got to see his true talent level and decision making instead of putting all of the 2025 hopes on him. And quite frankly, as bad as the Wilson hype was for the last 2 years, the lead up to 2025 would have been insufferable around these parts if he’d rode the pine this year.

If the stories are true, it was Taylor who put his foot down on starting Huntley. Whitt wanted to go with Williams

Unfortunately, I think Isaac goes into the portal in December. I had high hopes for the kid. This year was a mess. He was only supposed to play in a mop-up role. He was thrown into the fire much too soon.

I think the reality is, we may revert back to a stepping school for coaches.

Not being in the SEC/Big 10 means we won’t be able to pay as well. The Big 12 is just a better paid MWC again.

That is the one big plus for Scalley: He’d never leave. Neither would Jay Hill.

Every other coach outside of those two? Probably just here to Urban Meyer…[Read more]

Who is it that has the loop of a guy beating a dead horse?

Yeah I debated including him for that reason, plus their boosters could probably match or exceed any offer we make. Left off the Louisville coach for the same reason.

Cignetti just signed a deal worth ~ 1.5 MM more per annum than Whitt makes. That’s a non-starter

I wonder how much Whitt’s fuckups at QB have him second guessing himself.

Look at all the QB’s he fucked up on:

He started Jon Hays over Travis Wilson.
He picked Jack Tuttle over Zach Wilson.
He actually made the right decision on Huntley, starting him over Williams.
He started Bentley over Rising.
He started Brewer over Rising.
He started…[Read more]

Cignetti would be my first choice, but he seems intent to stay in Indiana and likely wouldn’t leave for anything short of a blue blood school.

I would like to see the following at least interviewed before it’s just given to Scalley:

– Brian Johnson, he’s had coaching stops at Houston, Miss St & Florida with Dan Mullen, had a hand in coaching Dak…[Read more]

I agree. There’s a level of physicality in the Big 12 that simply isn’t allowed in the NBA. It’ll be interesting.

Scalley with Whitt as a consultant. OC outside the program DC within (Swan) or go after Jay Hill.

I still think a “hive mind” might be able to predict some good picks against the spread…

Basketball in the Big 12 is definitely an upgrade unlike football. All 16 teams have talent and will be hard to get wins. We look to be at the bottom athletically and talent wise. Hopefully we can stay in some games with our shooting.

BYU has the talent and enough athleticism to win. It will be interesting to see how they can gel as a team. KY…[Read more]

does he get steak knives?

seriously though, if there’s a limit to how much we can discuss the same topic over and over and over and over, this site will dry up in a hurry

Wilson must be great in practice, but in games, he is clearly the worst QB on the roster, and it’s not close. Ludwig and Bajakian must have been seeing something during the week in practice that made them think Wilson would be OK (or someone promised him playing time). Either way, Whit probably should have stepped in to sort this out a lot…[Read more]

T-2 at 8-4. My best week ever I think! And I have no memory of who I picked. For the season I’m 56%, so only slightly above literal pick ’em.
