Agree that timing is odd.

Utah’s gigantic recruiting and portal class may be considered an overhaul, and I feel the coaching staff deserves the benefit of the doubt. Their response to the Ty and Aaron tragedies was absolutely textbook on how to get through something that terrible the right way.

The past two seasons have been poor, but the majority of players showing what…[Read more]

Whoever the new person is, I just want to have butts in seats. The revenue sharing program coupled with the of new students since 2022 will hopefully help. I’m about as good at collegiate athlete economics as the next couch GM, but this program seems stuck and in desperate need of any enthusiasm to get finances, recruiting, etc. going again.

More important that X’s and O’s and player development these days is the ability to find big boosters who will throw money at NIL.

That should be the first thing we look for in a coach.

Wow, I’m really surprised. Hopefully we can find a great coach and really start driving NIL.

Harlan made the initial hire, so he deserves the heat he gets in terms of everything.

That would bring fans back to the Hunty

Big enough to get you back watching MBB at the JHC?

Jensen and Miller are getting some traction, not just individually, but possibly together.

Wow glad I stopped by! Big news (and had to delete some spam)

Josh Eilert will be the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.

Harlan is next.

Smith’s original contract was for six years. That means that he had two more seasons, until 2027, after this one. I will say that it only surprises me due to the timing. Couldn’t they have done it at the end of the season? His results surely didn’t warrant an extension.

It’s funny. I have a gut feeling we’re gonna be a force this year. I just really like the offensive changes, with the most important that our new OC brought an experienced and incredibly dynamic QB with him. We also landed a gem at RB. I never really worry about the D with this group. Injuries will always have a big say in how the season goe…[Read more]

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the team do better immediately. If one of our assistant coaches can at least develop a substitution pattern that makes some kind of sense, we will be a better team on the road. Whoever the interim guy is, if they play Keller at all, they should be fired immediately. If we are down to 4 healthy guys plus Keller, sit…[Read more]

I’m pretty ambivalent about this news. Craig just did nothing for me. Didn’t love him, didn’t hate him.

All that matters now is:
1. Who do we get?
2. Will some booster step up and give us some damn NIL?
3. Will any of this make a difference, or will we still remain the same 40th-percentile team we’ve been for the last 6 coaches?

I believe it is the right decision. If your team is 350th in MBB in free throw shooting – you should be fired. However, I am not sure about the timing.

It is sad to me that the Ute basketball program which had so much rich history has to be rebuilt from scratch. It will not be an easy job.

That’s fair.
