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.

Everyone on here should listen to five minutes of this interview (specifically from 16:30-21:30). Curious to hear if this changes anybody’s speculation about what’s going on behind the…[Read more]

Johnson’s sophomore tape when he played more of Percy Harvin RB/Slot hybrid was excellent. Which is why I was always big on him moving because unless the offense was going to change to something that features the QB like Bobby Petrino did with Lamar Jackson, Johnson’s #1 weapon was going to be stifled. Rich Rodriguez would be someone who would…[Read more]

Shows maturity to realize with 1 year left if you want to continue playing football after this, it might require a shift away from QB.

K-Whitt is an anchor of Utah football, but is he now a drag on finances? His $7mm per could be used in a lot of ways…hopefully to win more than 5 games. Rumor is Scalley is upset that Whitt is making all the decisions, despite Scalley being told he could be part of the hiring process. This is just pure internet rumor from those claiming to know…[Read more]

This year was a total flop for them and shouldn’t have been that bad with Gordon and even a game manager qb. The defense was terrible, but it just seems the whole team gave up after Utah beat them (ok, a couple more losses after that). Always hard (as we are experiencing) deciding what to do with a 20 year tenure coach.

Not too much of a surprise. He lost the starting job to Hawkins late in the season. He’ll probably Dillon Gabriel or Jalen Hurts it out of there. Hawkins might leave too.

I love Whitt as he’s a Utah Man, BUT he is only going to hurt the program and the team for the long term!

Yep. TT OC made 825k (took FAU HC for 5 year $6M). Leftwich was making $280k. I’m sure we lowballed and TT will pay him as a Broyles finalist and Texan (UTEP qb, coach, Incarnate Word, Texas State).

Not sure why we post these things. Are we going to post about every QB that hits the portal? Any QB in the portal coming to Utah would be a positive. I have heard though that it will be difficult as we don’t have any NIL $ to pay top players.

system works great against less talented teams. What is Franklin’s record against top 20 teams?

Ludwig was up to 1.85 with a bigger than normal buyout because Notre Dame came sniffing. In retrospect, the worst decision Utah could have made was to go all in on Kyle’s buddy instead of taking the Notre Dame cash and using it to upgrade.

Right now, potential OC’s know that Utah is desperate and will force them to pay a premium for potential…[Read more]

That maybe true, no doubt about that, BUT in Whitt’s 20 year head coaching tenure he’s gone through 10+ OCs and if you’ve followed Utah football over that span of time, most of the offenses Utah ran were pretty much the same with 10+ different OCs. You can’t tell me or anyone 10+ OCs all want to operate the same offenses year in and year out with…[Read more]

I was joking. Benedict Arnold was a traitor. Going to Texas from Oklahoma would be a traitor move.
