That dude is the (2nd) worst coach we’ve ever had to play against on a regular basis. The constant on field bitching and belittling of his players. Easy coach to root against.

The University’s aren’t paying players now…how will they allocate the coaching money to them?

whether he’s good or not doesn’t really impact the excitement.

Whitt himself said that the top 25 ranked teams will increasingly look like the top 25 NIL teams.

That said, I do think there’s a balance. We’ve seen a lot of bad teams w/ a ton of talent. NIL will be the #1 factor, but coaching, development (helping players prepare for the NFL), culture, etc. are still important too.

I agree w/ what you said.…[Read more]

I’m confused by the 247 RB rankings. They have Eli Sanders at #10 and Jaylon Glover at #11. Is Sanders undervalued or is Glover overvalued? I sure hope it’s the latter (or we might be in trouble)!

Anyway, we need the Washington State RB. According to On3, he’s visiting Arizona, Utah, UCLA, and USC. I feel pretty good about our odds based on…[Read more]

Honestly…I think this is more a Scalley hire than a Whitt hire. And that is a good thing. Whitt has always gone for a big name at OC, someone, in Whitt’s mind, to take care of the offense while he takes care of the defense.

Dennis Erickson, Norm Chow, Christensen was a hot name from Missouri, Troy Taylor and his iPhone offense.

Beck is a…[Read more]

Bronco wanted him and knew at that point he was going to USU (were working out details), but Utah made a much larger offer. It was a no brainer.

The changes to college sports were not driven by big $$$. Big $$$ has been involved for a long time.

The changes were immediately driven by the courts recognizing that the previous rules were illegal. This was not an attempt to improve sports. It was a judicial ruling that recognized college sports were built on an unenforceable and illegal premise.

I’d be surprised if Bronco didn’t want to keep Beck. They had a very successful offense and Bronco didn’t change conferences. So if it worked at UNM, it’s highly probably that it would’ve worked at USU too. They mostly lost games b/c of their defense. And, who could Bronco have gotten at USU that’s better than Beck? Beck was the best that…[Read more]

Considering how we complain about the lack of transparency on the hill I am always amazed how people know things “clearly”.
I don’t think it is clear at all what took place over the last month or so.
Truth be told I don’t know a thing about the Lobos season until I looked it over. Everyone told me Bronco was doing ok. I would disagree with th…[Read more]

Maybe my memory of former Cam is tainted by recent Cam, but Rose looked just as good or better running than Cam ever did. At least, from an athletic perspective. Maybe not on the option reads.

Tampering? I am sorry, but the semblance of any structure or rules to transfers and NIL is nearly nonexistent. It is naive to think there is any real boundary at this point. The NCAA has no control over it. Players and teams can talk to whomever they want whenever they want.

If a kid goes to another school, it is going to happen. Who cares when…[Read more]

Would it be better? Yes. Critical thinking? Maybe.

Thanks for the TP info. Very insightful.

I don’t have an issue with you or anyone else that actually attempted to answer the question. My issue is that people often downvote but then don’t bother to contribute to the discussion.

I bring it up as a way to encourage more participation in the discussion.

From a fan perspective, I don’t think the NIL/Portal system is that much different from recruiting in general.

There are many high school recruits that never even see the field. Most fans probably don’t even follow recruiting all that closely. I actually think that more people are paying attention to portal comings and goings than they ever did…[Read more]

I won’t pretend to know, but most people in this ‘industry’ are looking to advance their careers and get paid more.
Sometimes people bite off more than they can chew, or leave success to find failure (Scott Frost, Brian Harsin, Chip Kelly, etc).
I guess you can’t fault them for shooting their shot. Many people have succeeded following this…[Read more]

Pepa: definitely yes.

Rose, maybe if unable to find at least one or two serviceable backups fit for Becks offense. Still a risk coming off surgery. I doubt Rose gets picked up. Maybe he just wants new scenery. Can’t blame him.

Calhoun: no thanks. Utes easily find a better replacement.

Wilson not wired for Becks QB run game. Needs a fresh s…[Read more]
