Whittingham meeting with Cam

It’s like he’s learned nothing. He’ll let this program whither for the convenience of Cam Rising

What kind of car was it? Did you drive it to any Rose Bowl parades?

Somewhat like a thought this season (before it started) given Cam’s durability history….

IF he wanted to return then I think it would have to be in a backup capacity. Tell him he’s the senior QB who will go out and take the second half snaps every game if he can but he’s not starting unless our new QB goes down. Why? Because his role will become the closer. This happens in Baseball…maybe it would work in Football too.

But I would not bring him back with the expectation that he’d be the starter over our future talent because frankly there is no future in it. Also we’d be fools to believe he could play a whole season at this point.

A lot rests on what his own career goals are. I can’t see him being viable in the NFL but maybe he’d be a great coach. If so then he needs to learn to lead from the sidelines sometimes. If his ego tells him he must always start…then I just wouldn’t do it

And I respect all he has done for us….he’s a great baller. But this game is about the whole team and winning games throughout the season and also next season. So plan accordingly.

I am fine with Cam coming back. But little to no NIL money. He has couple million to live off of.

If he wanted to return, I would tell him he can compete for the job with everyone else, BUT there will be no money for him from our NIL. He’s uniquely situated in this market to get “real” NIL on his own due to his popularity. Ya know, endorsements negotiated outside the program with an agent like every other pro athlete does? We’ve given him a significant portion of our funds for two years with no ROI. Can’t roll the dice on the programs future again. You’re welcome back, but we need to use these funds to build a team that can succeed. We’ll sign another experienced guy and you may even win the job; however, you will only be on scholarship. No NIL funds from the program. I assume this would drive him elsewhere. If it didn’t, you have an extra experienced QB in the room at no cost.

I never thought I’d see a player have this much say in an Utah program.

Decides when he gets to stay in games despite clearly hurting the team.

Decides when he plays or comes back, potentially for a 3rd time..

And Gets to drive Whitt’s prized vintage truck…

Cam is a unicorn…

At this point Harlan might as well hire Cam, he’s running the program as it is. I for one did not want Cam back this year. I certainly didn’t change my mind based on this year’s happenings.

It’s a no for me!
