I had that very same feeling LAST year. In fact, I’d predicted 2024 was going to be THE year, all the way back in 2022.
And then we lost our QB in ’23 and ’24.
And now, the guy we got coming in for ’25 is a less talented version of the guys we’d had back in ’03, 04, ’08, ’12-’15, ’19, ’21, and ’22.
Just because we got a new guy, that doesn’t…[Read more]

According to Josh Grant, if you wait until the end of the season, all the players will run for the exits. If you do it before the end of the season you have an opportunity to share your vision for the future and might be able to keep the players you want to stay around.

Not a fan of firing a coach “midseason”. Should have waited until after the final buzzer.

I suggest you all listen to the Josh Grant interview on ESPN700 this afternoon with Spence. I found it to be very enlightening.

I am sorry but 19 turnovers in a college game is unacceptable vs. any foe, but one that has not won a game in 7 straight tries is beyond ridiculous. It is never a great time to fire someone but sometimes you have to rip off the band aid and just do it. This gives us some extra weeks to find a new coach before the off-season kicks in and…[Read more]

Minnesota Ute replied to the topic Craig Smith Fired Today in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 months, 1 week ago
If he lost the locker room in a big way, then that could explain it. If I was to read into it from my perspective, Craig just showed no consistency in the lineups and a stubbornness to certain aspects. I’ve mused extensively about how much more I feel like Keanu has to contribute, but yet he just can’t seem to get more than 15 min per game.…[Read more]

Agree that timing is odd.

had this planned for a minute. Did he plan it before the Kansas teams came to town, but then Utah won those games.
It doesn’t make sense to me.

Utah’s gigantic recruiting and portal class may be considered an overhaul, and I feel the coaching staff deserves the benefit of the doubt. Their response to the Ty and Aaron tragedies was absolutely textbook on how to get through something that terrible the right way.
The past two seasons have been poor, but the majority of players showing what…[Read more]

Whoever the new person is, I just want to have butts in seats. The revenue sharing program coupled with the of new students since 2022 will hopefully help. I’m about as good at collegiate athlete economics as the next couch GM, but this program seems stuck and in desperate need of any enthusiasm to get finances, recruiting, etc. going again.

More important that X’s and O’s and player development these days is the ability to find big boosters who will throw money at NIL.
That should be the first thing we look for in a coach.

Wow, I’m really surprised. Hopefully we can find a great coach and really start driving NIL.

Harlan made the initial hire, so he deserves the heat he gets in terms of everything.

Jensen and Miller are getting some traction, not just individually, but possibly together.
