Do you? You sure as shit don’t sound like an economist.

Ludwig isn’t here because we scored a good one or he’s really that valuable. He’s here because he’s the only OC that can stand to work for Kyle Whittingham for more than 18 months. When one goes so does the other.

You know what’s really dumb, someone saying “that’s a really dumb take” and that’s it.

He’s a good coach, but an overrated one. He has a reputation of doing “more with less” and that has been true in some cases such as beating Oregon twice in 21 and USC twice in 22, but he also does his share of “doing less with more” and dropping games where Utah is the more talented team. 13 of his 19 seasons he’s had at least 4 losses. Could…[Read more]

I agree. It was a dumb decision to make Scalley the coach in waiting. I get him being a serious candidate, but he shouldn’t automatically get the job over Hill or other qualified candidates. As much as I hate ybu, Hill has done great things with their defense and as Assoc. HC. He did a great job at Weber State. At this moment, why should…[Read more]

Colton Swan is a likely contender

Again, just my view, but saying that Jay Hill would be interested in the Utah DC job is totally wishful thinking. The other thing is that even if Hill took the DC job under Scalley, I would label him an immediate flight risk. This is because if he continued to have success, combined with his resume, there’s no chance that some team wouldn’t come…[Read more]

I imagine he’ll be a HC again at a FBS program by the time Whittingham retires and won’t have any interest in being a coordinator again.

These are fair points. But…
1) Kalani Sitake isn’t exactly a great HC. He’s been mediocre at best during his entire BYU tenure. And I’d be surprised if the age factor was that important.
2) I agree, they wouldn’t give him the $2M right away, but I bet it’d be more than the $1M he’s making at BYU. And if they really wanted him, I think they’d…[Read more]

It wasn’t hard to see last year and it sure as hell was easy to see this year after Cam went down against Baylor that we were back to square one again. I wasn’t buying none of the pre-season hype because of Whittingham. I’ve known him to say one thing, and do another. Every year he says this maybe the best team he’s ever coached, and then ends…[Read more]

I was given a lifetime ban from drinking whiskey in my early 20’s so I never got to the point where I could afford to try any good ones. Canadian Club, Canadian Mist, Seagrams, Crown was pretty much all I could afford.

Got my dad a bottle of MacAllan 18 for his 75th birthday but didn’t try it.

Yeah the reality is the play on the field is bad. The last two games weren’t “quality losses.” Arizona is a very mediocre team and ASU is better, but not a great team either. A 10-2 Utah team might be on the bubble, but with what we’ve seen a 10-2 Utah team is a pipe dream.

Why in the hell would Jay Hill want the DC position at Utah when he’s already the DC at the TDS?! If anything, he would want the Utah HC position, and IMO judging by this season results alone between TDS and Utah, I would think he would be the frontrunner for the Utah HC position, not Scalley.

Yeah the Jim Mora bit is very fitting for that question. Utah isn’t a good football team. Not close to the playoffs. Would love for them to turn it around, but a 6-0 finish just to get in the conversation isn’t happening.

That’s exactly who I’m thinking will take over the DC spot if Scalley gets promoted. Good recruiter, proven results as a DB coach, to me all signs point to him.

At this point, ybu is a much better team and will be heavy favorites to beat Utah. They dominated Arizona today and already have wins against K-State and SMU. Utah is looking at a 7-5 season.

I’m more optimistic, primarily b/c I still believe we have a talented roster.
1) I don’t know the extent of the injuries, but I would hope we get Reid, O’Toole, Tanuvasa, etc. back before BYU.
2) We almost couldn’t have played worse offensively in either of the last two games and, as crazy as it sounds, we could’ve won those games if a few…[Read more]

Shame on Whitt and Lud letting Cam dictate who plays. Of course he wants to play. Wilson, Rose, Huard all want to play as well. What a dumb comment by Whitt. “He has won a bunch of games for us”. I was at the game $1500 to fly my 2 boys down with me and every football illiterate fan could see Cam could not run or throw. What was unb…[Read more]
