New Poll: Rate your excitement level for new offensive coordinator Jason Beck

zero, Whitt blew this one as well. Utes need to get out of bed with the cousins and move on.

Agree with @Utes69. Poll might be more accurate if it was multiple choice:

A) Home Run hire
B) Best Utah could get under the circumstances
C) Meh
D) Some warts but not a complete miss
E) DOOM (nod to @UtesbyFive)

I’d vote C on the above and 0 on the star system because even one star means added value.

3 star. Things will improve as long as the offense gets healthy. See if he can hire his own assistants.

The 4% must be BYU fans

I gave him three stars…hard to justify anything else given his background and experience. Hopefully, he proves me woefully wrong. However, if that happens, he probably won’t be at Utah very long.

I was only going to give it a “2”, but OnlyU talked him up enough for me give him a “3”.

Meh.

I gave hims four stars! I just read his bio on wiki and this is all I am going on. I am a positive thinker, and expect he will bring some exciting new blood to the Offense.

Beck is pretty much a proven commodity. He has been successful in coaching QBs, and most recently in directing the offense at a college level school.

What remains to get him to 5 stars for the Utes is to show he recognizes and recruits Offensive talent in other O coaches, and in players especially at QB and the other skill positions, also that he has an Offensive scheme/plan that is successful in the Big12, and he is a dynamic play caller.

A lot to hope for.

Now, I hope the question of who is HC going forward is announced soon so we can recruit and get ready for next season.

Similar take to Miami. I went w/ 3 stars. I think Beck is promising (and as good as we could’ve gotten), but I don’t think we know enough (or have seen enough) to go any higher. I’m encouraged by what he’s done at where he’s been. I’m very intrigued by the strong run game New Mexico generated (this is a part of Utah’s identity / formula for success…and I feel like it’s been on a downhill trend and that we need to get back to it).

Meh, I am very whelmed by this choice. Not the worst, not the best. More frustrated that we couldn’t land Arbuckle despite having the budget to make him one of the highest paid OC, then I’m hearing rumors from Locked On Utes that we whiffed on Leftwich by low balling him. Really hope he can work magic for us.

I’m at a 3/5. If Scalley was HC it’d be a 4/5. I really like Beck’s offenses but I’m worried that Whit won’t let Beck be Beck.

He’s probably just great. But it won’t matter after a bit. He’ll end up the same as the rest.

My biggest issue is the incestuous relationship we seem to have with TSPP when it comes to coaches. Here’s a novel idea, next time a coaching position comes up, let’s look outside the Wasatch front for someone who doesn’t have ties to you know who. After all, most of the rest of the country play some pretty good football too!

I am not happy. I want a pass happy. High scoring offense. I wanted whitt gone. We are not winning anything under his leadership. He has stayed past his due date. Scalley deserves it.

2/5 stars. That’s not to say he won’t be a good hire. It’s my excitement level knowing that this was our 3rd choice, and we’re again dipping into the local pool of coaching.

Until I see whit not get involved in game planning and decision making as it regards to offensive schemes I will withhold my excitement level.

My history of being excited about OC changes has not been supported by the long term reality. So I’m going to remain neutral this round and just let it all play out.
