[BYU Sucks]

I keep seeing replies with different thoughts about Whittingham, but still very few names with a justification as to why. I read Stanford’s DC, Bryan Harsin, and Ryan Day, but why would you recommend these people? Again, I want legitimate reasons for moving on from Whittingham (and any of the current staff). If you’re anti-Whittingham or anti-Taylor, the floor is yours to make a legit argument for which new hires should be made.

On a similar note, do you think Les Miles would consider the Utah job if offered to him? I read he was a leading candidate for the Arizona job last year in the off season and he has a proven track record of success.

@utah

I think you’re right about waiting to form an opinion until after the Cal game. I think (for both teams last night) neither really knew what to expect from the other on offense and didn’t really adjust super well at half-time. Like you noted, Arizona, like Cal vs UNC, fell asleep during the second half and especially during the 3rd quarter. So, if Cal can fight through, it COULD get ugly.

However, in defense of TDS, I believe the type of offense they run could be considered a “downhill” style offense. That is to say that it gets better as the game goes on by wearing out it’s opponents. So I’ll ask: how much of Arizona’s struggles last night came from going home and how much came from the downhill nature of the offense?

@crazyute

Valid point. It should be interesting to see how much of the scheme changes with time.

<That’s Mark Harlan’s job. Not ours. >

Yes, OBVIOUSLY it’s his job to make the hire, but it’s not unreasonable for me to ask people to justify their claims for Whitt’s firing.
