20 years to recover? They won the MW Crowton’s first year and Bronco had some very good teams.

Whittingham isn’t being forced out. He is probably the furthest coach from the hot seat in college football. He might call it quits though. He is 65 and this year has to be extra hard on him with the super high expectations. He already has named…[Read more]

1. “there should have been…”
– You don’t know if there was or wasn’t. For all we know, Whitt was told Rising would make a full recovery. There are only two people who can say anything about this without speculating: Doctoro Numero Uno, and Whitt.

2. Again, speculation. you don’t know what Whitt knew and didn’t know. You think you know, but you…[Read more]

He has literally gotten injured(or missed the whole season) every year. Nobody should have pushed back that he was injury prone. The biggest recent failure of Whittingham was not having a QB ready to go for 23. Rising to Barnes is such a colossal drop off.

Don’t think contract length has anything to do with when Whittingham will step down. Coaches rarely get to the end of their contract anyway. They are either fired before or retire. Nick Saban had several years left on his deal, but walked away for example. National Champion basketball coach Tony Bennett did the same thing last week.…[Read more]

I’m not for booing our kids or the coaches. But refs…yeah sometimes those guys need a serious call out.

bad coaching deserves a good boo.

My guess (I literally know nothing) is he gets some of that rolled into his retirement package whatever it’s called. Of course he’s a competitor but he’s also a 65 year old grandfather now with tons of money. I just don’t think that money is as big of a sticking point for him staying or going as we may think.

So we’re basing judgment on could’ves now? Well, we could’ve won the rose bowl if Cam hadn’t been knocked out. So does Whit get credit for that win?

While I understand your point, booing for many people doesn’t come from a serious place. A college football game is a place where we set norms aside and everyone silently agrees that we are all going to act like children for 3 hours. Grown men dress up in costumes, we do dances when we succeed, and light fireworks and fire cannons when we score. F…[Read more]

Even insinuating that he might not be better than ever or lead the team to an undefeated record was worthy of no less than 10 down votes.

I’m with you. I never boo anyone or anything. Life’s too short to get pissed about sports.

The Legend of Drew Lisk can’t ever be understated. He and Ty Jordan were the only things worth remembering from that disaster of a season.

And I’m talking about the Covid protocols and everything else that went into that year, not anything the team did wrong.

Injuries to your feet and the resulting instability are hard to overcome for non athletes let alone football players. I popped my cuboid bone out of place and the amount of physical therapy, including bi-weekly treatments and taping was several months long. All that did was just keep it in place and make my foot stable again. I had to…[Read more]

Well, if nothing else he nailed that media availability session. I liked his sense of humor. Hopefully things start trending in the right direction for the offense.

Fully agree. Last season, most said was Whitts best coached season with how depleted the team was by injuries. The grass isn’t always greener…

Yeah, that is kind of what I was trying to say with part of my previous message. I guess I didn’t do a great job.

Yeah, filled the golf bags with Uinta Cuthroat and played on. Good times.

Last year. The covid year was going to be a disaster too but we got saved by essentially not having a season. And I’ve mentioned it before in passing but I do have a family connection in the coaching staff and the coaches knew it too. We got saved from a disaster season by the covid year. It was going to be ugly.
