Ha ha. I don’t think that’s what I’m saying…I’m just saying it was more important to keep Rising than to win 10 games with a transfer QB and have Rising leave.
But damn, we should have beaten Northwestern and ended up with 9 wins and ranked. Shit.

Last year was…messed up. The injuries, Rising, etc. Whitt was in a tough place, because if you can hold onto Rising…2024 your schedule is exponentially easier. Your toughest game is versus Oklahoma State and they lost to a Sun Belt team last year. There is no Oregon, Washington, USC on the schedule.
With Rising you are favored to win the…[Read more]

I don’t think Petersen comes back to college football. That being said, when Whitt retires, Petersen should be our first call.
I’d take him over Scalley. I don’t care how loyal Scalley has been. If Petersen isn’t interested, then I’m ok with Scalley.
But we are the perfect program for Petersen. If he was to return anywhere, we would be the…[Read more]
Utah replied to the topic Harbaugh to the NFL – Chargers in the forum Football 2 months ago
My counter argument would be this: Look at Whitt’s recruiting at Utah: It is amazing for Utah, but it sucks for Michigan.
I’ve always said if USC hired Whitt, he would replicate Pete Carroll’s success. They are the same coach. Whitt would thrive in Michigan. When Rising was not hurt, he took it to Ohio State and Penn St. Hell, even without…[Read more]
Utah replied to the topic Discussion Topic: Big 12 Foes in the forum Football 2 months ago
Rivals: BYU, Arizona, ASU. You’d think Colorado would be here as well…but they suck. They went 1-8 in the PAC-12 last year. They will be better this year because the Big 12 is a worse conference, but not that much better. They might get to 6 wins, Sanders will go pro and I bet Deion bails and Colorao goes back to sucking. If we haven’t created a…[Read more]

There is a less than 1% chance he is back. He and Sirianni were absolutely awful last year.

Utah replied to the topic Did B Johnson get let go from the Eagles? in the forum Football 2 months, 1 week ago
That was an incredibly stupid decision as well.
But that doesn’t vindicate BJ. His QB was runner up MVP last year. He has AJ Brown, one of the of best WR’s in the NFL. He has Smith at the other WR spot. Julio Jones is WR #3. Goedert is a top 5, maybe top 3 TE. If not the best OL, top 3 OL. Oh, and Swift at RB.
The Eagles started 11-1. And they…[Read more]

I agree there. Sundays I wear Eagles. Saturdays is my Utes.
If there’s a big Phillies/Sixers game, I’ll wear that, but every other day of the week is normal clothes.

There is a post on cougarboard about a guy whose kid is singing at the U sometime and he wants to know if he should wear black because…I don’t know. Stupid reasons.

Utah replied to the topic Did B Johnson get let go from the Eagles? in the forum Football 2 months, 1 week ago
He hasn’t been fired…yet. He is interviewing for HC jobs.
That being said, he will be fired. He was awful. Just awful. They only ran about five plays the whole season. He had arguably more talent than anyone and was just awful. It was no different than the offense he ran at Utah. Just awful.
Sirianni may or may not get fired (I hope he does)…[Read more]

He won the MWC? I guess he did the COVID year. I don’t know how much I’d rely on that. Outside of that, he’s incredibly mediocre.
Yeah, it’s hard to win at SJSU. But it ain’t the P12 or ACC. It’s not that hard to win there. And he’s never won over 7 games.
I’m not too impressed with this hire.

I wonder what Shah’s goals are. If he just wants to coach at Utah, make a shit ton of money and win, then I wonder if you could make him an AHC and special teams coordinator/CB coach and then make Swan DC.
I don’t know if Shah would want that, but its an idea.

Man oh man. I’m an Eagles fan. I personally witnessed an excellent OC (Steichen) lead my favorite team to greatness and leave…then watched their replacements (Sirianni/Brian Johnson) royally fuck up a team. I’m shocked at how bad those two have been. I freaking love Brian Johnson the Ute, but BJ the OC? He’s been the OC of two of my teams so far…[Read more]

If Scalley could get Ludwig to stay one more year after Whitt retires…that might be perfect. Although it wouldn’t shock me if Harding gets the OC job again when Whitt/Ludwig leave.
I think the biggest issue with Utah coaches is how will they handle losing Colton Swan. After we are in the playoffs next year he will be a hot commodity. Dude can…[Read more]

I think I’d rather have Fotheringham. BUUUUTTT…let’s see. He looked good in the video of him floating around the other day. If he looks like that in pads…then he could be really, really good.
Utah replied to the topic Whitt said some interesting things on the radio today in the forum Football 2 months, 1 week ago
Honestly…it really seems like Ryan is more a FB/blocking TE. I’d bet we see him more lining up as a FB this year than going out for passes.
He’s an old school player. And I think Ludwig’s offense and all offenses going back to bigger guys will really take advantage of him.
Remember Shaun Asiata? Think that type of player.

I’m not too worried about corner. Look at what we have:
Starters: Snowden and Vaughn. Both played solid last year, both have extremely high ceilings, both should be a lot better this fall. Two NFL potential corners is better than most.
For the third corner spot we have: Johnson (89) transfer from GT. He is a SR and former starter. A lot of…[Read more]

I don’t think I’d go to Utah if I was a QB right now. You know Rising is the starter and you know that Utah hopes Wilson is the future. That’s a tough spot to go to.
That being said, once spring ball is over…there will be a lot of QB’s that thought they would go to a P5 school and be given a starting spot who still don’t have a scholarship.…[Read more]

Why would you bring in someone like that? He’s old. He’s played in games and he sucked. If you bring him in, you lose Rose. We know Conover sucks. We can at least make ourselves believe Rose could be good.
Other than laughing at your BYU friends, someone like Conover makes no sense.

16/49. 33%. 175 yards. 0 TD’s. 3 INT’s.…[Read more]
