For me it is just about getting another QB option in the QB room without really having to do anything and not having to worry about whether or not he can learn the playbook. At the very least, you bring him in and he could be a very serviceable backup.

@Anfernee: I’ve come to expect more from you than the same cut(s)/paste(s) on every thread

I didn’t need a sexy hire. I wanted a complete overhaul of the offense starting with the staff and ending with the philosophy and got none of it. Apparently the only thing “plug and play” is coaches from Whitt’s limited rolodex.

I can’t even be disappointed at this point since Whitt staying and doing what he’s been doing for his whole career was…[Read more]

They need to change the name from Holy War to In-Law Bowl

I doubt many actually watched full New Mexico games this year so stats and highlights are all we’ve got.

I did find it weird that you wondered why so many are fixated on stats and then threw stats and manipulated stats at us.,,

Fifita beat Utah at home so in Utah fans minds that means good. Guy is pretty average. I would take him for sure but if it was between Fifita and Dampier I would take the one Beck has used already.

#5 rushing offense in the nation this past season. A spot in front of Boise State and 2200 yard rusher Ashton Jeanty.

Yeah, I may not have been clear. I saw an article that Bronco wants the Utah State job and would assume he would try to bring Beck with him since they’ve got a 10 year relationship across multiple schools. Whitt can offer more than Bronco can in salary so why not take the money?

I’m trying to shorten my posts but have never been good at saying…[Read more]

gotcha. ignore the 5 game losing streak where they scored 14, 7, 3, 10 & 10 with QB1 and QB2 and count the FCS game where they scored 65.

That TE was a 3* QB transfer from Michigan and I see a WR throwing one pass on the season.

I think most people know it won’t change much offensively with Whitt still the HC

Well remember Whit has to have that talk with Rising.

I don’t think anything will change as long as Whitt is around. I place zero expectations on the offense. But I expect improvement because the bar has been set so low.

Joe Williams backed up Booker in 2015, was the main back the 2nd half of 2016.

Chris Curry got 38 carries over 3 years for Utah. Maybe you meant Pledger? TJ had 700 yards in 2021.

Sounds like Robert Anae should have been the choice then

can they?

parochial school QB? check
QB coach at Weber under McBride? check
QB coach at parochial school? check

This has Whitt hire written all over it. Now we just get 9 months of speculation on whether he will be allowed to call a game like Bronco let him or if Whitt will start tugging the leash early and often.

2025 will be his 3rd year as an OC who’s…[Read more]
