Good leadership for this team – both captains and the council. The team is leaning hard on the veterans. All of these guys have a significant care factor and a love for the program. Dampier, Parker and perhaps a receiver will get their turn next year.

Fine points Press!

And another UDFA Reid with Denver just got an INT

Nooga,

I’m not comparing Whitt to anybody nor putting him down. I’m just saying there have been a number of coaches at Utah who have left their mark, and frankly, in their own respective eras I believe could claim to have made as significant a contribution or more-so than Kyle. Whitt kept Utah football in the conversation. A few championships…[Read more]

In a similar vein, O’Toole as an UDFA played well for Seattle.

And so far, so is Junior Tafuna also an UDFA for Houston.

I hate that one. Also, I hate when either party gets a supposed win over the other and they start describing their feelings in food terms, such as “delicious”. If we beat BYU by 100 points, I will be ok with that word, otherwise, bleh!

I, for one, can’t wait for the first 3-and-out under Scalley when our fans boo the team off the field. Us Utah fans aren’t exactly known for playing the long game when it comes to our teams’ performances.

McBride established the culture and poly pipeline. Urban brought discipline and a winning attitude. Whitt built off the two and ushered in the Pac12 era. He has established a solid program and his player development has been amazing. Until Urban showed up Utah football was not even on the map. As a long time fan it’s been an amazing ride. Whitt h…[Read more]

I think that’s the multiplier, is that Witt has done it while almost always being at a resource and spotlight disadvantage to his competition. Consistently outperforming expectations is the mark of a good coach, and I think he’s consistently done that. Consistently identified and developed talent that maybe others have missed and got us…[Read more]

Dude you are comparing apples to oranges. Ronnie Mac coached in the MWC. Kyle won 2 P12 championships. These are not comparable.

Utah competed in the P12 with massive disadvantages in terms of recruitment and resources. Ronnie Mac competed with advantages over most of the other MWC teams.

Utah winning even one championship was extremely…[Read more]

Being a backup is probably the best position in Football. You actually can walk correctly post career and most likely won’t have CTE issues.

I hope he gets a spot somewhere, too. I just doubt it will be with the Browns. They have like 6 QBs on the roster. They needed him during camp while some minor injuries heal.

The link was missing. Proud must have fixed it. 🙂

He’s very skilled, and a super lovable dude. You just can’t not like this guy.

Great post proud Ute. It’s nice to see the other side of the NIL portal madness. The type of player you can really root for (even better he is an Olympus high alum like me). Player development and culture has been the calling card of the program since Whitt took over. I know I’ll cheer a little louder when I see that # on the field.

Not wanting to throw shade on Whittingham, but in reflection I’m not nearly as bewitched with ‘the man’ as many on this board. Three conference championships in 20 years. Not bad. Just not great. One of which we can thank a convoluted 2nd place tie-breaker in ’22 for squeaking us into that championship game. And another back in ’08 with a…[Read more]
