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.

Not only was the QB situation mishandled, but over those 20 years the offense has been as well. From a constant churn of offense coordinators to moving your best talent from offense to defense, the offensive side of the equation has always been overlooked by Whitt.

His solution was to bring back Ludwig whose offensive scheme is so complex it…[Read more]

It was around that time when it started, I moved from Hawaii in late 2013 and my username is AlohaUte, so I know I created this account in that time frame. Regardless, this isn’t the only place Ute fans congregate, whether then or now. And a lot of the fans here used to be on UF.N and Twitter.

I love your optimism Utesrule. I guess we will find out Saturday if the team is still fighting.

I’ve been convinced since Fall Camp that this would be Kyle’s last season. But the way he talked about hiring a new OC, I’m not so sure now. I could see him sticking around for one more season to see what he can manage with a new OC and an influx of talent from the portal.

Now that I’m 2 generations away for college kids I can see clearly that the younger generation can’t relate to me. As much as I loved and respected my grandparents I figured they were out of touch. Saban was an anomaly as he put players in the NFL and his age was overlooked. The most successful coaches in college and NFL are the younger 1 gen…[Read more]

Oh, Iowa State…came into my radar during the days of Dexter “Money” Green and the great man himself, Earle Bruce.

I don’t think UteHub existed in 2012 so of course there were no calls to fire Whitt. I remember on a certain other Utah fan site that there were numerous calls for his head after both 2012 and 2013 seasons. That Whitt was not a PAC 12 level coach, etc.

If Whitt wants to stay and fix this, I think the University owes him that much. If he has…[Read more]

Sincerely, thanks to each and every one who has posted. A lot of good comments and opinions!

Just want to clarify. I AM NOT calling for Coach Whittingham to be fired. No. Not at all! Too good of a coach! Too good of a man who had given his very best to The University, with amazing success. Thank you Coach! No. I am just asking Coach to look…[Read more]

Glorifying a coach and then firing him is not a good look for your program. I think he is done. This year has been hard on him. He expected to go out with a CFP bid and walk away in the sunset. He needs to do what’s best for the program. He is working side by side with Scalley on the new OC which is a good sign.

No thanks on Bronco. We need media friendly and more transparency in the program. “gamesmanship” only sets you up for failure with the fans that support the program. Hopefully Scalley has learned from Whitts mistakes. How about simplifying things for the players and coaches. Our guys seem to be over thinking and hesitating instead of just pla…[Read more]

Is there a guarantee that Whittingham will carry on the Whittingham success?

Aloha, I respect that you want Whitt to stay. I completely get it.

Let me ask you these questions:

In your opinion, can Whitt save this program as it sits now?

If so, what does he do differently?

If Whitt is the best guy to turn it around – I am all for it. But, I just don’t think that he is. IMO, we need some new young blood and…[Read more]

inserting himself on the field of play before the game had ended to throw a tantrum was enough for me.

Whitts deal was a bad deal.
Craig Smith hire was royally messed up. Combined with the firing of Larry K who I felt should have just gone for another year. Nothing screamed immediacy in getting Craig Smith.

His recent comments against the big12 were idiotic. Shows his general lack of long term foresight. Utah is in a good position to potentially…[Read more]

I’m perfectly ok if Whit retires. That’s his choice and right. But he shouldn’t be fired and I personally think that those calling for him to be out are crazy.

Go look at how many teams made the change because it wasn’t quite the success they wanted but it was still good. I give you Nebraska as exhibit A and Colorado as Exhibit B. Both had coaches a couple decades ago who were solid, not great (following great coaches at those schools) and both canned their coaches only to hire failures and drove them…[Read more]
