Understand, but Whitt led on the media and fanbase about Rising’s injury and poor judgment on Wilson being QB #2, and the results thus far have gone against his better judgment. His name is also synonymous with “game time decision”, and again, we all know how that turned out? 8-5 and 5-7 seasons. Many fans and media now don’t believe him or take…[Read more]

having a big back is an overrated luxury more than a need. Better push by the O Line, especially the IOL will get you those 2-3 yards consistently. When first contact is happening in the backfield when everyone knows you are going to run the ball, the problem isn’t the RB’s weight.

I don’t trust any of the gossip and rumors about culture dynamics (between coaches and players, etc.) b/c my own experience indicates that it’s turned out to be mostly just that: gossip and rumors. If I had reliable information about the situation and if I wasn’t part of the problem, there’s no way I would be spreading gossip and rumors as a…[Read more]

I did listen. But how is this relevant right now? If this interview was last night, then yes. Lots has changed. And do think Morgan would bash Whitt and not back him up? Doesn’t sound like they agree on who to hire.

There are other strings on Ute Hub that talk about Morgan not really having a voice. That is all I am basing this on and again, as…[Read more]

Just trying to lighten the mood. It’s amazing how we’ve gone from winning the conference and sending our beloved coach into the sunset with a CFP birth to a Losing season and wanting Whitt to retire. My how things can change.

You’re not wrong, but when there is a lack of official news, fans are left to speculate. As an example, see how fans acted during the last 2 years of QB misinformation. Not justifying it, but when people are passionate, they are going to discuss the topic with or without official reporting.

I actually don’t think the offense is that far from having all the pieces it needs. Need some return to health at QB and figure out the IOL but the skill players should be solid. Just need a scheme that maximizes their talents and better execution.

I’m sure he’s getting a lot of trash in his replies on X but he needs to be aware that Utah is now on a higher tier of program. Not saying they’re a blue blood or anything but the program and the university have more eyes on them than ever and expectations are higher than they have been.

Fans are reactionary and emotional by definition. It’s not…[Read more]

I don’t remember that. I remember talk from our “insiders” that one of the reasons Jackson left was the way Johnson was handled in 2023. And walking away from the team so that Bottari had to play against Colorado may have turned some people off.

Time can heal a lot of wounds and if he was coming back to play a different position, especially…[Read more]

I mean, clearly he knew that Whitt still had multiple years left on his contract.

Did you listen to it? I’m only questioning b/c I posted it at 9:36 and you responded at 9:41. It was a five minute video segment that I was highlighting. Maybe you were sitting there waiting for responses and so you saw my response immediately after I posted it and then immediately loaded the link, immediately found the segment I highlighted,…[Read more]

We keep talking about Whitt’s money but tied up in his decision to stay or go is that Scalley is leaving millions on the table every year Whitt stays. I may have the number wrong but I thought someone posted that Scalley’s first year as HC would be valued at 5.4 MM.

Not sure how long you ignore that delta from your coordinator salary before…[Read more]

The pieces are still there to have a good defense. Offense needs a new direction to keep our best players.

Who says he was involved in not hiring? Or that Whitt shut down those hires? Just because you offer someone a job, doesn’t mean they have to take it.

There are plenty of reasons Arbuckle would prefer Oklahoma over Utah, and Leftwich may want to stay closer to home and the recruiting grounds he’s more comfortable with.

It’s also possible I…[Read more]

wow, nice one Jim!

I need Anfernee to post the egg on face emoji for me

I thought I heard he wasn’t much loved when he left here. Could be wrong, and who knows what actually goes on behind those doors. I’d still be surprised to see him back here. I’d guess something like Fresno St closer to home.

It’s such an easy conversation/sales pitch to imagine.

Utah: we know you had a top 10 offense the last two years. We’re willing to pay you half of what our last guy made to produce two offenses around the top 100 and if you produce to your standard running an offense completely different than you want, we’ll pay more in your next…[Read more]

That was over 2 weeks ago. Lots has changed since then and based on what has been reported, Whitt has not held up his end of the deal by allowing Morgan to be as involved as he should be in the OC hire. Yes, rumor, but it seems to be coming from more than 1 source. If Morgan is involved in not hiring these guys, that sounds like even a bigger issue.
