I don’t think jr. has animosity to Utah, if he does it’s simply because he is a BYU fan. He would just prefer that his players not help his rival school

What? Jr USA huge BYU homer, not Sr.

I said in the post that it was random. The fact that Jr coaches at Orem is relevant because he will actively direct his players to BYU or at least away from Utah.

The story about his dad is only tangentially related, and yes it is random.

You don’t know their family. Like this said, he didn’t say screwed, that is my own interpretation of the events. He was visibly frustrated, but that was like 1 day after he left BYU. Jr. wasn’t involved in any of that and may not have even been told. Matt was there when Sr told us, but jr. was not.

You not understanding the level of their fando…[Read more]

It does make sense, you just don’t understand how someone who’s father was scapegoated by an institution could still be a fan of said institution. Sr. Felt upset about it at the time, but his loyalties to his alma matter eventually won. Jr. is a bigger BYU fan than Sr. ever was.

My story (not the exact wording just the events) are straight from lance sr.

No sr. has always had a good relationship with Whitt, they go way back. His words weren’t screwed, that is my own interpretation of the events.

Lance Sr. Is not the same person as Lance Jr.. Both are still loyal to BYU, but Jr. cares a lot more than Sr. I don’t even know if senior watches football anymore. I used to sit next to Jr. at BYU games. He is very passionate (hotheaded). Great guy, but quite different from his father.

They will always be a BYU family. Dad and boys all played t…[Read more]

Great kid from a great family… No clue if he is going to be a good college football player yet. Obviously didn’t play at Oregon, but I don’t know what their OL situation is this year. Gotta believe he would have started there eventually.

Obviously would have liked him at the UofU, but he was NEVER coming here. As I have stated before he has…[Read more]

It’s just the player version of coachspeak.

Everything you are taking as fact is simply conjecture. I have no read to believe that smith was the wrong hire. I like him, I hope he does well. Nobody k own if he is going to do well or not.

Meh… This is what literally every player says when their coaching staff gets replaced. I mean, it makes sense because coaches, like any other professional tend to lose interest/energy/optimism as they stay at one job for several years up until they either leave by choice or get canned, then they are replaced by a new guy who has a renewed sense…[Read more]

Rising went straight for laumea after the play. Awesome. Almost as good as travis’s pancake block on the reverse

I have no idea, he has probably changed a ton just over the last year alone. He’s been given a lot of reasons to rethink his priorities in life.

I don’t know man. After reading Kyle’s comments regarding Patterson’s leaving TCU, he was extremely complementary, even calling him a good friend. Does that mean he’ll coach under Whitt? Nope. However, that perceived animosity was either just a result of the competitive nature of their games, or their relationship changed significantly when both…[Read more]

His longest tenure as a HC was 5 years. That is nowhere near the same thing as staying at the same place for 20+ years (the last 5+ of which were mediocre at best). Also, Erickson took a year or two off prior to joining the Utes. Again, not at all the same situation.

What discussion is there? No sane Utah fan wants Moobs here. He is an asshole with a ton of baggage, we have NO idea if he even wants to coach still… Hiring him would be like hiring Gary Anderson after his several failed HC attempts, except Gary was liked by the Utah staff and players, and he wasn’t given the DC job, he was hired as a position…[Read more]
