Certainly not, but a heckuva lot better shot than alternative options.

if bowl games are trash, then why go? I spent a lot of time and money last year to watch in Vegas, and not to see some half ass offense BS.

I don’t think he actually cares about it being the proverbial “sunset.” Which we all know in sports rarely happens anyway. I just think he’d like to go out in some semblance of his own terms. And this shitnado 💩 🌪️ of a season ain’t it.

I’m with Aloha Ute on this. Coach has earned his bonafides. Yes there is a lot of frustration but you don’t put someone out to pasture until all doubt has been removed. I too remember years two and three during the PAC era and the clamor to have Coach run out of town. Harlan’s comment about the Big 12 a couple of weekends ago resonate with Ute…[Read more]

Would be unfortunate for Kyle to go out in such a down year which includes a heart breaking loss to BYU.

Lavell Edwards and Ron McBride has losing seasons to end their careers (Ron did coach at Weber a few years) but at least both enjoyed rivalry wins among all the losses.

Bowl games (non playoff) are now trash. A quarter (at least) of most teams are in the portal, declare for the draft, or opt out. I just told someone it’s stupid to bet on bowl games at all because you don’t know who will actually be playing.

It was nice to have the 8-1 bowl record under Whit or whatever it was, but that was the old regime of…[Read more]

Yeah I think he will. He has potential for a much better year next year. It would be pathetic to quit on this year. He also has to finish off with a win against BYU! (unlike the blashphemous bailout the refs gave BYU last game, they would never call that if it was in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd quarter, and still rarely in the 4th.)

If so, what is the ‘walk into the sunset’ year next year? 8-5 with a bowl win? CCG? Until his contract is up, what’s not for him to say, “ooh, we were really close and we have a couple more pieces to …”?

Yea, what I think will happen vs what I want/think is best for the program are definitely separate things. Maybe sweet Mr Eccles will donate a big chunk for NIL knowing it’s truly Kyle’s last rodeo. 🫰

Agree. Team first. Never got into being a fan of coaches or players. I find the KW fan hysteria interesting especially looking at KW’s win-loss record over time. Hard to let go of the 21/22 seasons. Easy to see why KW obsessed over Rising considering the two conference championships and Rose Bowl appearances in 21/22 seasons the pinnacle of KW’s…[Read more]

Disagree. You don’t throw out the baby with the bath water over one bad season.

Great stuff. Love this site, Tony. Thank you!

We haven’t even been at 1 cylinder all season. Hope it happens, but not getting my hopes up.

Yes. Same last year. I think it is probably better to do it early or at the beginning of the football season when everyone is the most excited. 🙂

news flash Aloha Ute, sucking in bowl games could hamper recruiting, lets look at the whole picture here. Utes offense has sucked an changes are needed now.

Thanks, Tony! I think it took awhile to hit the goal this year based solely on the poor performance of the football program.

Thanks, Tony, for everything you do to keep this site going!!!

I think he has made up his mind and is playing the “gamesmanship “ card. At the presser he talked about NIL as being the difference between competing at the highest level or being average. We don’t have the financial backing to get to the next level as very few programs do. To get top portal recruits it takes$$$. If he had the deep pockets to tu…[Read more]

I think you are spot on about Whittingham pride. And, you are probably right that he will not hang it up.

BUT, as for me – I think we need the change ASAP in order to save this program.
