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]

You’re projecting. OP said nothing of the kind

Yep, you’ve been a fan that long and one bad season is enough to throw it all away? Give me a break.

@Utah, well put. You succinctly said exactly what a Whitt coached team is. Good, but never ever going to be great. If Utah wins 8-10 games a year and makes the playoffs every four or five years is that good enough? If so go out get some quality RBs, coach up your QB, but make sure the RB room is full every year to compliment the good SR QB we’ll…[Read more]

Why watch that when you could watch Saquan Fucking Barkley!!!

Go Birds!!!

Whitt’s problem is he knows to win a national title, he needs a QB.

But once the QB has a bad game, he reverts back to his old school philosophy of shorten the game and try to win 3-0.

He won’t allow an offense to operate properly. He needs to admit to himself that he doesn’t really want to win a national title, he just wants to win 9+ games…[Read more]
