Would you rather be Nebraska under late Tom Osborne or post Tom Osborne?

If he has any sense to him he’ll have realized he’s aggressive brain cancer to a productive offense. We’ll see.

“Something has changed in his thinking to make him stay”

Ya, not wanting two years of colossal fuckup to be the tail end of his legacy. If 23 and 24 were regular years he’d be gone. I think coaching football is probably a bit different, a bit more drawn out, but you see this in competitors a lot. It’s especially clear in combat sports. A former…[Read more]

He’s earned the right to turn it round. He’s also primarily responsible for mismanaging the program over the last two years. KW’s not going to walk away from that big contract amendment he attained in 2022. If year three ends up of more injury blaming, and sabotaging the offense, he needs to hang it up. He looks MS sounds much more refre…[Read more]

If it’s the same Whitt from 2023 and 2024 I’m with you. Can he allow his OC to run the offense? I have my doubts, the image of him looking indignant at Urban Meyer’s/Mike Sanford’s play calling on offense a couple times during 2004 are burned in my mind.

I love how he said he played at the “Team Down South.” That alone is encouraging that as a coach he is bought in. I am excited to see Beck’s offense and to see Whitt play as an underdog this year. I hope we are pleasantly surprised or maybe after 2024 expectations are so low that it won’t take much to be surprised next year.

Far too often a would be hall of fame coach hangs on too long and mires in mediocrity.

Return to Colorado
On December 2, 2010, Bieniemy returned to Colorado as offensive coordinator under head coach Jon Embree. Bieniemy was offered the head coach position in 2020 at Colorado but he declined. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Bieniemy

I seem to recall Colorado wasn’t too happy with his time there with Embree, though…[Read more]

Whitt has earned the right to turn the ship around. I hope he is successful!!

Karson Kaufusi is listed as a DT on the 2025 roster … and is weighing 286 lbs. Great news for the DT room.

I’d feel a lot worse if Whitt left.

Far too often a hall of fame coach leaves and the replacement struggles. I know Scalley is a known commodity to Ute fans, but it’s no guarantee he has the chops for head coach or will be successful. I think he’ll be successful, but I know that Whit has what it takes.

I would feel better if Whitt left,, need some change

This hire would get my thumbs up because it would be an absolute and total disaster. I mean, there’s a reason why Bienemy hasn’t ever gotten a sniff of a head coaching job and why his stock drops further down every season. Why would anyone give him a job when he was just fired as the OC of a 5-7 UCLA team?

I thought Whitt would retire regardless of record. Something has changed in his thinking to make him stay. He must think he has enough talent to turn things around and not start a rebuild. First time in years he comes in as an underdog which he seems to thrive on.

When asked about Calhoun and Tanuvasa, Kyle responded that NIL was definitely a factor. We all know that, but BYU fans would deny that NIL had anything to do with Tanuvasa going to BYU.

I just now learned that Jason isn’t related to John

This one I could see. Former player and assistant coach there, has a long and mostly successful coaching resume. He doesn’t have the same hype that Deion brought but he is probably the closest they could realistically bring in.

The other candidate I could see would be Jay Hill. Not a splashy hire, but he would be a good hire. And Hill would…[Read more]

No doubt Utah has to add 1-2 more DT’s through the portal but the cupboard isn’t bare.

Vakalahi is an absolute stud and will be a major player for Utah.

Vimahi is proven and has played in some huge games for Utah.

Jonah Le’eah is the wild card to me. Recruited as a linebacker a few years ago. Redshirted 2023, played a few snaps that year.…[Read more]

Still though, there’s a chance Whit makes an announcement of his retirement. The timing would be weird but since we already had Scalley as the next head coach, I could see Whit staying on as the head coach to help Scalley finish out the recruiting, transfer portal, and coaching hires in an effort to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Not…[Read more]

What about Eric Bieniemy?
