I typically try to refrain from posting during games, but last night I made a post shortly after halftime calling out the coaches for the offensive production. I was specifically upset about Whitt chosing to not at least take a timeout and attempt a hail mary before the half, and Taylors playcalling which appeared to be uninspired.
I didn’t know about the wind factor which affected Whitt’s decision before the half, so that settles that. I’m still not sure what our offensive gameplan was. I choose to criticize coaches over players because the coaches are the paid professionals. The players are kids who are putting their health on the line for my entertainment.
In my post, someone astutely mentioned that if I was going to criticize the coaching performance last night, that I also needed to credit them for navigating a rocky final third of the season and getting us to the Championship game. That is absolutely correct and I was being short-sighted last night.
I love this team, the players and the coaches. I have nothing but respect and grattitude for them. Last night was just a little frustrating. I hope this team is selected by a bowl that is worthy of all the work they’ve put in this season.
I think I’ll go back to not posting during games.
Go Utes!
