2008 National Champ replied to the topic No Trust For Whittingham on Offense in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I’m not a bigger fan of 45-42 than I am of 13-10. I do want a team that is capable of putting up 45 every week and don’t think that should be sacrificed so that the team will only give up 10. Great teams are capable of both. Good teams do one or the other and bad teams can do neither.

Utah#1 replied to the topic Blind Resume For OC in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Totally agree and on-board with Utah getting Beck, the issue I have specifically with Whittingham is he’s a narccistic control freak and hires people in his circle or close to his inner circle by association or affiliation (Utah/TDS ties) that he can control and when he says jump, they say how hi.
Regardless of potentially getting Beck, I don’t…[Read more]

I feel prep for next year starts with the OC. I would prefer we start high on the list of possibilities and work down rather than start in the middle which leads to coming up second a few times. We also need to understand that there are actually many schools with more resources than Utah. We also need to understand that there are also parts of the…[Read more]

#4 total offense for 2024. Just behind Miami and Ole Miss. #5 rushing offense. A spot in front of Boise State and 2200 yard rusher and possible Heisman winner Ashton Jeanty. The #15 red zone offense. Just behind Miami. Named to the Frank Broyles Award, which honors college football’s top assistant coach. If we took away the last name Beck and B…[Read more]

I expect that so many of the great coaches have awesome offense numbers but have defensive numbers like Whitt’s offense numbers. I expect that very few have great numbers on both sides over a range of years like this. But we remember and note the coaches with great offenses, I suppose because most fans completely enjoy a 45 to 42 win. Whitt’s…[Read more]

Great point. Hoping that’s what happens!

Idk, I listen to OC regularly and he doesn’t typically speculate from my point of view until recently. He seems to be upset at the lack of info like most fans. But glad I gave you a good laugh!

Are we all not sure we are just waiting to hire the UNLV guy after the MWC championship game? He would be my first choice of all of the others that have gone elsewhere.

Jason Beck. John Beck is not who is being talked about.

That’s a very interesting point about the coaching tree. I guess maybe that third guy is Scalley if he wasn’t staying at Utah?

SalUteopia started the topic Bet this is how it will play out in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I don’t have any inside sources, but based on the current situation (and the data from past few seasons), it is fair to say this is exactly how it will go down:
Whitt can’t get even a HS OC to return his calls, so he nails the hire in Bajakian, who appears to have been his first choice from Day 1. Scalley, already stuck in coaching purgatory, i…[Read more]

You are right Eagle, recruiting has been decent considering the context. Maybe I’m overreacting, but I’m just worried. This is such a crucial time in CFB that we may not see consequences of current decisions manifest until a few years down the line.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Losing Confidence in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I’d love to be surprised by a home run OC hire. At this point though, it appears the most likely option is Bronco’s OC. Beck may be great but to me it’s just a further sign of how small Whitt’s coaching world is.
For as much success as Whitt has had, his coaching tree is a seed that never grew. Urban has people all over the country leading…[Read more]

Uncle is Devonte Christopher, Ute WR 2009-12. He was very good one.

J Rocksville started the topic Random thought about the impact of modern college football on the NFL.. in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
With the transfer portal fast becoming the path for building competitive teams, the need for stripped down and streamlined offenses (and probably defenses, but we hear more about the offenses) that allow transfers to learn it quickly and execute has become more important. Are outgoing QB’s and other offensive talent going to be heading into the…[Read more]

I think he has some kind of family ties to the area IIRC. Any WR worth their salt would reconsider after seeing what happened with Dorian this year. Hopefully they can shore up OC and QB and we can start building again. Having a great RB is a good start.

I saw a picture online that was Rice Eccles in 1994 and then again in 2024, and it was disappointing to see that not much looked different. There are more bleacher seats, and the press box, but look at how a school like BYU does their game operations compared to Utah. There should be more invested there, for sure. I don’t know if you blame that on…[Read more]
