  I would be very comfortable with Scalley as the next coach.
  
  He has trained inttimately with the master, and would be, by far, the most likely to continue our success in the future.
  
  Sure, he ‘might’ tank the program, but that is far less likely than with an outside hire.
  
  And, if Whitt stays on as advisor for a while, that should ease the transition even more.
  
  Go Utes!

  I think we need to move past the idea that Scalley is going to be the next head coach. That ship has sailed.

    I disagree, while it’s not the guarantee it once was, Scalley is definitely still the leader in the clubhouse for the job after Kyle retires. He’s a fantastic coach and is a Utah Man through his soul. I think he’d be the perfect candidate to continue building on what Kyle has done.

      I don’t think it matters what we as fans want or prefer. As as long as Harlan is AD, my belief is that Scalley will not a viable successor.

        I might be wrong here, but I think Whitt outlasts Harlen at Utah. Harlen and Utah have been far from a match made in heaven.

        This could be true. And if it plays out that way, things might be different.

        Harlan’s a bag of wind. He will take another job before KW retires to protect his own self promotion.

        Please explain. I hadn’t heard anything negative about Harlan and thought he’s been doing a great job.

        What’s going on between Harlan and the U?

  Hopefully Mr. Whittingham stays for a long time, but I think I would be okay with Scalley as the next coach.
  
  Only problem is that Scalley had a pretty ugly, public blunder. I think I could get past it; I am all for giving second chances to those who demonstrate willingness to change. However, I am not so sure how the powers-that-be feel on the matter. Also, I am not sure how recruits feel about him due to that past event; this is a very important angle to consider.

  Scalley would have my vote. But, that means nothing.

  I like Scalley and he has a lot of good qualities, but I would prefer an offensive minded coach.

  I am 100% in Morgan getting the job. Hopefully Shah is promoted to DC.
  
  Going outside the program would be foolish. The #1 thing Utah football has going for it is the culture. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
