Yep, fully agree with you and GNU on the 1 or 2 loss scenario. My take only applies to an undefeated season.

Two things:
1) It is practically impossible for 5 P5 teams to go undefeated in the same season
2) If a P5 goes undefeated, a playoff spot is virtually guaranteed

I envy you guys who got to be a part of this. I was introduced to the world of Utah football much later.

Nobody said the ‘whole’ fanbase. It was implied that I was referring to a part of their fanbase. However minuscule this part, it left a bad taste in my mouth.
To be fair, I hated UW even before the Covey incident. The hate, if we can call it that, is purely limited to football. Outside of football, I don’t have anything against them.

It’s their fanbase. It’s one thing to trash-talk but when you start gloating about hurting a player (Covey) and derive pleasure from that, you’re crossing a line.

There were reports that we went after him but Ole Miss got him. If the former is true, it gives me *some* hope that it could be a hire worth getting excited over.

So help me God if Harding becomes the OC.

One man’s ‘home run’ is another man’s ‘strike’. Am I going crazy?!
On a serious note though, who’d you consider a (realistic) home run hire?

^ what Redblood said.

We need Moss to come back. Shyne isn’t cutting it.

Yep. Give it to TJ or Brumsfield.

Thanks! HNY and congrats on the Wazzu win. Go Utes!

I can’t see the image. Did you mean *Sark (as in Sarkisian) in the state of Utah? I’d approve of that.

Pre 2014, I’d agree with you but we’re in a much better position today. Except 2017, we’ve had a pretty decent run in the recent years (including division champs in 2018).
We’re not Bama or tOSU, but we’re set up nicely to have a great 2019. We inherit a Sr. QB, a great D, and a relatively easy path to PAC12 CG. Utah OC is not a “sexy” gi…[Read more]

Why not go after Applewhite?

FWIW, @belli1976 mentioned yesterday that he had heard Sark’s name but to not get your hopes up.

I feel that Utah has done enough (top 25 rank in 4/5 years) to warrant going after a bigger name.
Things are shaping up nicely to have a special 2019. You don’t want to squander this opportunity. A proven name gives us the best chance to have an immediate impact. This is not about an individual’s coaching aspirations; this is about doing wha…[Read more]
