The Miami Ute

Yea, what I think will happen vs what I want/think is best for the program are definitely separate things. Maybe sweet Mr Eccles will donate a big chunk for NIL knowing it’s truly Kyle’s last rodeo. 🫰

Is there a guarantee that Whittingham will carry on the Whittingham success?

inserting himself on the field of play before the game had ended to throw a tantrum was enough for me.

Whitts deal was a bad deal.
Craig Smith hire was royally messed up. Combined with the firing of Larry K who I felt should have just gone for another year. Nothing screamed immediacy in getting Craig Smith.

His recent comments against the big12 were idiotic. Shows his general lack of long term foresight. Utah is in a good position to potentially…[Read more]

Yeah, I just don’t know what the reviewers are seeing that I’m not. O Line ability and/or effectiveness is a hill that I won’t die on. The obvious stuff I’ve got no problem identifying: i.e. guard pulls and runs past a defender who then tackles the RB for a 2 yard loss? I’m pretty confident who made the mistake.

Guard/Center combo block DT but…[Read more]

Still in the MW at this point. So far, all schools have State in their name.

I saw that article and almost added it to the Bingo card thread. Who had Bronco getting New Mexico bowl eligible before Whitt got Utah in 2024?

Don’t make a change because it might not get better? That’s the rallying cry heard right before every failure in history. Well, I suppose “watch this” and “hold my beer” count for some failures but they are just as ridiculous. No one ever succeeded by saying right now is as good as it can ever be.

I can’t evaluate O Linemen, especially the interior. I just don’t have that skillset. When I was scouting opponents while coaching in high school, I could see the end result of O Line mistakes but could not pick up in real time who was responsible.

So with that background, I never understood the slobbering over Keaton Bills. And I thought…[Read more]

It’s not coach Whitt’s fault? Nothing? The guy who was put in charge of managing those same things that you are blaming for Utah’s current circumstances bears no responsibility?

I’ve said ad nauseum that Whitt has earned the right to finish out his time at Utah under his own terms. But I fail to see how not being prepared for, or adapting to,…[Read more]

You straw manned your argument in the second paragraph. I can’t think of anyone on Utehub that was calling for whitt to leave in 2012 or 2013. If that helps you feel better about wagging your finger at these imaginary people go right ahead. It just isn’t reasonable.

I have said Fire Harlan for three years now. Which is related to current sit…[Read more]

So you’re a director at your company. You’ve turned an entire department over to one person allowing him to make all hiring decisions, staff and run his department based on his vision, and he’s turned a steady profit over the life of his career. But now you’ve lost money the last two years and are faced with replacing half of the employees.

Do…[Read more]

Fassel had to go and it wasn’t all about wins & losses. His defensive coordinator was featured in a Sports Illustrated article with the players calling him “Little Hitler” and was charged with supplying steroids to athletes at South Carolina – he was acquitted. He claimed another time that there weren’t any issues with drugs on his team and then…[Read more]

I wish someone would tell the sports urinalists that truth. Nothing ruined fan discourse more than the obligatory “let’s see what people on twitter are saying” articles that come out after every game. Just what we needed, lazier reporters.,,

I want to work for you some day. Apparently my performance level could never get so low that I would be replaced.

Kump’s been delivering good snaps. That alone is a step up over the last few years.

Even trolls can be right every once in a while. Sometimes even more than a broken clock.,,

I’ve got to admit, everything the OP said went through my mind when I read the recap of the presser. And it wasn’t much different than most of us have been saying at one point or another over the last 2 seasons.

well played sir
