great observation, not sure why you get downvoted. We sorely need some bulldozer back that can push the pile and get us 2-3 yards consistently. If small and quick backs work well we would have seen more Dijon Stanley

As someone who also follows the NFL, there are a lot of parallels to how Bill Belichick’s tenure ended in New England. He was allowed to “mutually walk away” but the obvious subtext is he was fired.

Harlan is Whitt’s boss, at the end of the day. No one wants to see it get ugly, but to say his hands are tied isn’t quite correct imo as he could tru…[Read more]

DOOOOOOM!

Agree and he has been in Texas his whole (short) career, so TT might be easier for recruiting, especially if they offer more than Utah. Hope he wasn’t expecting the $1.5M Ludwig got, but likely we lowballed and offended him.

I hope for 8-4, but just because I have hope we can’t have that many injuries 3 years in a row. But when Whitt announces Rising is coming back for 8th year, my projection goes to 4-8. QB management has been a disaster.

This one is a downer, but it’ll be hard to keep all the guys you want to keep. It seems like the most important ones have been staying. It’s not like Fotu was incredible for us.

This isn’t surprising. And I’m not sure it increases the level of concern either (at least relative to where we were already at). Of course Oklahoma is going to beat us out for an OC. As for Texas Tech, definitely more of a bummer, but why wouldn’t he go there unless Utah was willing to offer meaningfully more money? And I would be a little…[Read more]

I’m almost to the point of Green Day: Wake me up when *August* ends

I actually do think this is going to happen.

Lyons, Pittman and Glover were the only ones I heard about during the season

I think we’re all just fatigued with the current state of the program. I’m jaded because I cannot trust Kyle from him leading me on about Cams injury last year and then again this year. I cannot stand the absolute radio silence from the program in terms of will he won’t he, and that’s in relation to both Cam and Kyle. All in or in the way from th…[Read more]

Hearing Whit would walk if given $10M buyout. But let’s look at the numbers from the contract.

Coaches out contract: $5.4M for 2025 + $5.9M for 2026 + $6.5M for 2027 = $17.8M + some incentives

Buyout if fired: $3M/yr (or $4M if last year) x 3 years left (2025, 2026, 2027) = $9M. Harlan would have to have the guts to do it (or at least threaten…[Read more]

I don’t *actually* think this will happen but the standard radio silence on Whitt FM means anything is possible.

Guillory is skipping his senior year of high school. He has some growing to do.

The average height for an NFL running back is 5’10”.

Quit freaking out for shit’s sake. Everything is doom and gloom here. It’s tiresome.

And you know for sure that Utah wanted to hire the ones who’ve come in for an interview? You do know that interviewing candidates can actually rule them out of the running. That’s how interviews work.

What a disaster.

Worst bet of the season would be taking Whitt to walk away from 20 MM because he was such a great guy who didn’t care about money and would do what he decided was best for the program and not him. Anyone who saw his retirement comments as anything more than his usual coachspeak was in denial.

At this point, the only change to the offense for…[Read more]

I’m not sure why Whitt failing on offense should be a surprise.,,

He’s had a two month head start to find Ludwig’s replacement and is still playing katsup.
