It appears to me that real Offensive Coordinator the last several years has been Cam Rising. Think about it for a minute. When Cam Rising doesn’t play the offense is stagnant no matter who the QB is or the team the Utes played. Is it because Rising is calling an audible at the line and changing the play that Ludwig called? Yes, he was in EVERY…[Read more]

Yep. But there’s a very simple solution…

the only thing I’ve been able to find is the Locked On Utes podcast where they danced around the issues for 30 minutes but still weren’t willing to come to any real conclusions.

Locked on Utes

I think a huge amount of our coaching staff will be pressuring Whitt to stick around because realistically a bunch of them are trash. QBs, O playcalling, special teams, Oline, RBs, and DBs are all pretty much a joke. No one in their right mind keeps those dudes around and Scalley just might clean house. I hope it happens tomorrow. Actually no, I…[Read more]

I agree that Ludwig will not go anywhere in the middle of the season. That’s just not Whitt’s MO.

Whitt has to admit he has lost his edge and I hope he realizes it’s time to go. These last two seasons are inexcusable IMO. They have been painful.

Whitt has been a great Utah football coach. He deserves to be recognized for his amazing…[Read more]

Which is why I took away my posting privileges for 10 days after it happened. I just hadn’t seen him post since and didn’t want to do a private apology when the issue happened in public. I’m 100% team Charlie

Or didn’t like Fisch enough to follow him to the rain capital of the world for 9 months.

I think Scalley will open things up. Why? Look at when he was the special teams coordinator. He would run trick plays on special teams. Remember the punt return against Oregon when Covey faked receiving the bacll. Remember the kickoff return that cost us a safety against ASU when Covey passed the ball backward into the endzone. I liked the…[Read more]

Sure, but the relative entertainment opportunities between the two cities isn’t a new development. Any more than the fact that the state of Arizona produces more talent and Tempe is closer to Vegas and/or Southern California than Salt Lake is.

When the choice is old guy Herm v not quite so old guy Whitt (even discounting the racial aspect),…[Read more]

If the team finishes on an eight-game losing streak, I don’t see how Whitt comes back. In a scenario like that, he’s clearly run out of answers. But then again, I’ve learned to never discount the profit motive.

You were a jackass to Charlie? Why? He’s one of the nicest regulars on here.

Yeah, Arizona has been so financially mismanaged (tons of articles about this issue online) that they’re so poor that they can’t even pay attention. Due to that, I was shocked to see both Fifita and MacMillan stay this season. Must be one of those rare cases where players actually like the school that they’re going to.

welcome back Charlie. I hope you took a couple of weeks off for some reason other than me being a complete jackass to you for which I sincerely apologize.

Eagle, did you see the Illini’s uniforms for that game? I kind of dug them. They looked like a bunch of Red Granges on the field.

I’m not sure that I understand what you mean when you say we’re “living beyond our means.” RES has been sold out for well over a decade, the team has experienced success into this season, and Whitt’s pay is commensurate with his success. Yes, he has three more years in his current contract which has a base of ~$6.5M but that’s not a disaster.…[Read more]

Gut punch statistics.

I’m on the same page. I want Whitt to dig himself out of the hole. But it can’t happen with his current staff. I brought up Harbaugh last week and think it’s still appropriate.

This season is done. Either announce your retirement effective at the end of the season so that Scalley can have two months before signing day to shore up this year’s…[Read more]

Neither of those will happen. I think they announce that someone else will call plays.

There’s more to it than that. If you’re a 17-18 year old, Tempe is much more of a happening place than Salt Lake City.
