  Interested to hear the who the most realistic replacement is for Offensive Coordinator and why?
  
  Personnel I’d like Brennan Marion. He’s young and seems to be an innovator. I’d bet he has many offer and other than watching a 30 minute youtube video I’m unqualified to assess his “go” “go” offense.

  I’m afraid that unless Whitt changes his offensive philosophy, who the OC is won’t really matter.

    Whitt needs to let Scalley make the choice, or retire.

    What about Aaron Roderick . Lead his team to a 9-1 season, currently ranked 38th in scoring offenses… Oh wait .. guess it really doesn’t matter

      Their total offense is 57 and passing offense is 59. And they’ve had 7 touchdowns total in the last 12 quarters. Exact same as us.

    EXACTLY! Will see more of the same next as well if Whitt is still head coach

  I’m sure you’re right.
  
  I should prefaced my question with the condition that Whit retires and Scalley is given the freedom to do what he thinks is best.

  Whoever it is it really needs to be someone from the outside. One thing I think has bit us in the butt too many times is the insular keep it in the family thing KW has going on. I’m all for loyalty but we need someone who isn’t home grown. The single greatest get we’ve ever had that transformed our entire program was Urban Meyer. We are unlikely to see another one of him. But we won’t even get close if we keep hiring old friends from inside the state.

  Reality is they will make the safe decision to try to keep Ike at Utah.
  
  That means and I fully expect it will be Bajakian, because he has the relationship with Wilson and is the most Utah option to take.

    Bajakian is working with Ludwigs basic offense. There’s no way he could have installed his own system mid-season. Given an off-season, he can make wholesale changes around to his philosophy.

        🎼 Bajak it, and don’t break it. It took your mother nine months to make it. 🎼 🎤🎸

        Take a look at this:
        
        Utes top priority revolves around building up Isaac Wilson
        
        and this:
        
        Mike Bajakian Focused On Getting Utah, Isaac Wilson Back To Winning Ways
        
        and this:FILM ROOM: What does a Mike Bajakian offense look like?

    Keeping Issac at Utah is not Whit’s first concern.
    
    He will not bow to a single player over the team needs.
    
    With that said Whit will hire someone who’s willing to play “Whit ball”
    
    If you think it’s gonna be some young and up and comer or Scalley might have a say in it you are wrong.
    
    It will be an older Ludwig type say Dirk Koetter. It will be someone Whit knows and trusts that he can relate to.

  My opinion:
  
  1. Brian Brohm, has Louisville offense in top 10 scoring offense the last 2 years. Would have to hope $$ talks because he’s an alumni and might view it as a lateral move.
  2. Dirk Koetter, Boise St OC.
  3. Kevin Decker, Old Dominion OC, has their offense sitting at 10th ranked scoring offense vs teams with winning records.

  What credible OC in their right mind takes the OC job if KW decides to stay for his “day to day” retirement plan? Defense is a great selling point, everything else is nothing but red flags. College coaching is a tight group. Only takes a couple quick phone calls to find out the OC job at Utah under KW is a no win situation. Nothings going to change, it’s been this way for 20 years.
