2008 National Champ replied to the topic Losing Confidence in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
I’d love to be surprised by a home run OC hire. At this point though, it appears the most likely option is Bronco’s OC. Beck may be great but to me it’s just a further sign of how small Whitt’s coaching world is.
For as much success as Whitt has had, his coaching tree is a seed that never grew. Urban has people all over the country leading…[Read more]

Utah’s recruiting didn’t fall off though and the transfers have been nothing burgers though. We have a sky is falling scenario which I didn’t like but I haven’t seen the consequences.

I hadn’t seen that McNair signed at the time of my post but it wouldn’t have changed what I said.
I’m fine with people having different opinions than me or even vehemently disagreeing with my opinions as long as they’ll tell my why. It’s not my job to teach people to think the way I do and come to the same conclusions. But I can learn from…[Read more]

Would be interesting to put the OC for each year along with the starting QB.
The years with the higher rankings I would guess are when we had a better QB.
2008 was Johnson
2019 was Huntley
2021 and 2022 were Rising -

“The 6-foot-2 180 pound wide receiver committed to Utah in July, ultimately deciding Utah was the best fit for him as a player with his relationship with the coaches and the culture as a team.”

Film Evaluation:
This guy’s a natural long strider who tracks the ball well over the shoulder and can go up and get it over defenders. Love how confidently he plucks the ball out of the air—shows great hands. One thing I’d like to see more of is how he handles press man coverage since the film mostly shows him against off coverage, and in colle…[Read more] -

You saw that Tavian McNair signed right? The very first paragraph spawns the rest of @Red conclusions.
The “striking” out narrative is literally a false narrative. In fact I would argue you are just repeating information that recruits and players are wise to.
Utah seems to be cutting the fat and preparing for an OC that isn’t so earth shatt…[Read more]

Looks like a good get. How do we convince what appears to be a good WR to come to Utah after this past season and we are currently sitting on our hands trying to figure out who the OC will be?
Looks to have all the skills but 4.52 40 isn’t really what I would call fast for a WR now days.

6-2 180 WR from California. Offers from Georgia, Oregon, ASU, BY💩 and many others. This is what 247 Greg Biggins said about Tavian back in April: “If you’re looking for a stock up receiver who just oozes upside, McNair is your guy. We first saw him at the National Preps Camp in Las Vegas before his sophomore year where he earned MVP honors and we’…[Read more]

seemed like a pretty reasoned analysis to me. I don’t have to agree, even though I do, but it certainly didn’t sound like he was throwing spaghetti at the wall.

Post more! But I think you are assuming a lot to come to your conclusion. I don’t think we have any basis for saying Utah struck out. In fact with the transfer portal and recruiting class being what it is I would say you are dead wrong.
But I also understand I can’t reason people out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. So I will…[Read more]

Kuithe? Really? Ok.
Travis Hunter both teams. Utah not having any defensive players on first team is kind of bullshit ngl.

EB fired today. Let’s see if they can also hire one before we do.

💯 we are close. it’s why I don’t care about the name of the OC. Just the right guy. And for the fans to know what the direction is currently.

Sports often imitates life. We are approaching the 20th year with Whitt. Like any relationship, some of the most vital pillars are communication, trust and transparency. Even if you been in a mostly healthy relationship for over two decades, all of those pillars will collapse very quickly when you feel like you’ve been lied to, misled and got b…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Wonder what Scalley is thinking in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
I’m not arguing that Scalley did not know the situation at the time he signed. Human nature leads me to believe that he just might, kinda sorta, maybe, have the teensiest sliver of different mindset today than when he signed. And perhaps he might be more willing to listen if a P4 job came open that would pay him an equivalent salary to what he…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic From Sir Alex Markham on X in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
With all due respect to Mr. Markham you don’t spend 9 months setting expectations, follow that up with 3 months of failing to meet those expectations, watch others who fell short of their own expectations make decisive moves, and then tell your fan base to keep quiet and trust that it will all be fine.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Tiny RB signees in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
having a big back is an overrated luxury more than a need. Better push by the O Line, especially the IOL will get you those 2-3 yards consistently. When first contact is happening in the backfield when everyone knows you are going to run the ball, the problem isn’t the RB’s weight.

highlandute7 replied to the topic Wonder what Scalley is thinking in the forum Football 7 months, 2 weeks ago
I did listen. But how is this relevant right now? If this interview was last night, then yes. Lots has changed. And do think Morgan would bash Whitt and not back him up? Doesn’t sound like they agree on who to hire.
There are other strings on Ute Hub that talk about Morgan not really having a voice. That is all I am basing this on and again, as…[Read more]
