Is this title a throwback to “tap dance man” from the prime show “Them”?

This is tough. I get why Whitt doesn’t change. He makes millions of dollars a year, he gets to live around his family, etc, etc, etc.

To make a drastic change on the offensive side of the ball…it’s risky. Sure, you can win a big time bowl game, maybe even a national championship. BUT, if you lose more…well, this is a fickle job and fans and…[Read more]

I think everyone knows that Troy Taylor is a HC in spite of Whitt, not because of Whitt.

I’ve been hearing this and don’t understand fully. Average roster size was somewhere around 120 (-125?) during the season but limited to 85 scholarships. It will go to 105, but all can get scholarships. So really, we need to trim, but it’ll be mostly walk-ons (who are currently 30% of D1 rosters and practice and play but don’t receive a…[Read more]

Many players around the country may be waiting until after the bowl/playoffs season is over before entering the portal, waiting until all teams are done playing and ready to focus on building next year’s squad.

If I’m wrong, I will gladly stop posting on this board.

We have to cut our roster significantly this offseason, just like every other P4 school so departures are coming. The fact that none have been announced yet just tells me the staff has solidifying coaching hires as the #1 priority and haven’t yet had the difficult discussions that are due for multiple players.

Other that Troy Taylor who left to be an FCS HC after 1 season and who is now the HC at Stanford.

This could be one of those blind squirrel/nut things and then CALIMAN’s trolling would be absolutely brutal going forward.

I think we all know that when it is all said and done there will probably be 10-15 guys transfer out. If we can limit the number of guys who can really contribute moving forward, we will be fine.

Glover and Pittman, so far, but we already knew that.

Offensive guys have a lot of gripes but also not a lot of film to put out there for other teams.
Makes me wonder obviously about a lot of things. Could be Whitt and Scalley working wonders. Could be not a lot of market space for what Utah had offensively. I assumed Fano would be poached heavily.

I had that thought too. If that is the case, that’s pretty good leadership on Whit’s part.

Interesting observation.

CALIMAN I WANT TO TRUST YOU BUT IM SCARED TO!

realistically though, if you were Whitt would you change the way you do business? National Coach of the year, 4 straight CCG’s.,, all the reasons the keep Whitt crowd trumpets are the same reasons Whitt follows his formula.

Saban realizing that if he wanted to have a chance at the NC every year meant that he needed to embrace offense is an…[Read more]

Which leads me to believe they know who the OC is gonna be already. And they know Whitt’s plan and are comfortable with the direction of the program.

Ah crap, I wouldn’t mind Marion, but now Caliman said it, so it’s not. Freakin’ jinx
