The one who really needs to be removed next is Whitt himself!

Probably not much. You don’t transform your team on October 20 something. This systemic failure is multifaceted (some of the problems are still on staff) and years in the making. Whitt’s been pushing this one down the road like a dung beetle for a good long while and he finally found the downhill.

I hope for the team to be energized, that’s the…[Read more]

“Teams are gonna be shakin’ now that we have buh-JAKE-ee-an calling plays!”

sounds more like the old joke where the smartest person from place A moved to place B and lowered the IQ for both places.

I agree that mediocre is a step up from the last 3 weeks. I’m not sure it’s the monumental step that some want it to be so I will remain cautiously optimistic knowing that there is very little anyone can do in the short-term…[Read more]

I’m not even sure that’s better

Not knowing why your football isn’t footballing is admitting failure when you’re the head coach of a football team.

Tony, this probably says a lot about me, but is there an address, post office box, that I can send an old fashioned check to you?

lol. Well they may not win but getting the opportunity is all you can ask for. One step at a time. And you just may capitalize on that opportunity.

I’m just stunned at the amount of leeway some on this board give. I want to work for some of you someday. Deliver nothing, show up sometimes, refuse to elaborate. Get paid anyway.

I realize that may have been interpreted as Whitt being at a loss. To clarify I edited my post. It was Andy who was at a loss.

That is just plain and simply him denying the truth and unwilling to admit it to himself he’s failing/failed. Had Ludwig not stepped down, Whitt wouldn’t have done a damn thing! Just tells you, Whitt now needs to retire/step down! His response is pathetic and can negatively hurt the program going forward for his ignorance.

Realistically in a week not much can change from a nuts and bolts perspective. You just hope that the playcalling is a bit more on point and the players are energized. Hoping to be a different team altogether in late October/November is just foolish.

In the middle of a major coaching change you want to discuss why a different team than Utah should be unhappy if they get snubbed for another team not named Utah?

“Whitt said he was at a loss as to why the offense wasn’t succeeding.”

I would’ve at least had a lie queued up that didn’t make me look incompetent.

we’re supposed to overlook anything that could be construed as a negative. BEST HIRE EVER is apparently the only acceptable response. Amazing how quick this went from worst offense in 40 years to all of the problems have been solved with a single announcement.

so the Northwestern Bio is wrong. It appears they are only referring to the schools he coached at before his Northwestern stint which did not match up with his previous success.

Or you’re finally moving the ball so you call a goddamn fake double reverse

I have to try and stop you right now. I can’t have Bajakian’s (pronounced buh-JAKE-ee-an) nickname be Baja Blast. Its going to hurt my brain and I am going to say it in public and get weird looks.

Total speculation on my part, but I bet the offensive players had been giving their respective position coaches an ear full for the past several weeks. Most likely the receivers and the tight ends have been the loudest. So the noise has probably been making it’s way up the chain with Ludwig knowing it’s his system that is failing.

If the…[Read more]

I don’t believe at least one of those.
