      For better worse, and my bet is for the better, Ludwig is Whittingham’s OC choice the make a run before he retires. Whittingham is comfortable with Ludwig’s version of the run/pass option offense that I expect he attributes mightily to the Sugar Bowl win. Whittingham’s message by selecting Ludwig, is that same run oriented offense, with a dominating defense will win the South next year, the PAC12 sometime over the next two to three years, culminating in a Rose Bowl win. And perhaps with a repeat, he would end the Whittingham era and retire as most successful coach in Utah Ute history, eclipsing even Urban Meyer.

      I am guardedly optimistic with my opinion with Ute near-term success. Go Utah!

      Truth in Advertising caveat: I have been known to drink heavily in November – repeatedly.

      If you think Utah will be better off without Whittingham, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. It is hard to find a quality head coach that can consistently win and keep a team in the conversation, especially at a place like Utah where it is harder to recruit to.

      Just look at BYU post LaVell, Nebraska post Osborne, Miami, Florida State, etc, etc. I know Whittingham is not the best head coach in the nation, but he is Top-20 and we are fortunate to have him.

        Where did the poster say anything about Utah being better off without Whittingham?

        Poor reading comprehension causes replies to go off on unrelated tangents which leads to a worse experience for everyone reading the board.

        I absolutely do not think the Utes are better off without Whittingham. He and I are the same age, and I am a big fan. But we all have to leave what we love at some point, me the military after 37 years. However, I do believe he understands this and sees Ludwig as his best option, to go out on his own terms and as a winner.

        Just sooner than later.

        reading the post to which you are replying is usually a pretty good way to avoid sounding stupid.

      Leaving the dance with the person he came with? I like it. The last time Whitt won a conference championship it was with Ludwig as OC. Time for a repeat.
