You complete idiots who want Whit fired over one bad season are utterly ridiculous.

Whit deserves all the criticism he’s getting this season. He should be getting crushed for it and he is. But you don’t fire one of the great coaches in the country over one bad season after 20 years of success.

Yet lowly Utah who had been irrelevant prior to that except the year before managed to go:

1. Undefeated in 2008 and finished 2nd in the country

2.Got promoted to the Pac 12

3. Won 2 Pac12 Championships

4. Played in two Rose Bowls

5. Has one of the highest % of weeks ranked in the CFP rankings

The offensive struggles are super annoying and…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ve expected to lose the last few weeks. Still lost.

I’ve never understood why Ute fans hate Boise State. If anything we should be BCS buster bros. One in solidarity.

The writing is on the wall that the CFP doesn’t view the Big 12 or ACC any different than the MWC or AAC.

If this is the case, I’d almost rather be in the new pac 12 than in a conference with Houston and Cincinnati.

That’s an easy answer, more practice time and development time. Whit has mentioned this on numerous occasions over the years.

Certainly not, but a heckuva lot better shot than alternative options.

Disagree. You don’t throw out the baby with the bath water over one bad season.

Great stuff. Love this site, Tony. Thank you!

It was around that time when it started, I moved from Hawaii in late 2013 and my username is AlohaUte, so I know I created this account in that time frame. Regardless, this isn’t the only place Ute fans congregate, whether then or now. And a lot of the fans here used to be on UF.N and Twitter.

I’m perfectly ok if Whit retires. That’s his choice and right. But he shouldn’t be fired and I personally think that those calling for him to be out are crazy.

Go look at how many teams made the change because it wasn’t quite the success they wanted but it was still good. I give you Nebraska as exhibit A and Colorado as Exhibit B. Both had coaches a couple decades ago who were solid, not great (following great coaches at those schools) and both canned their coaches only to hire failures and drove them…[Read more]

I’m genuinely curious, why the hate for Harlan? I don’t get it. The whole sports program at the U seems to be doing really well. FB (aside from this season), WBB, Skiing, WVB, etc etc. The only program really failing that I know of is MBB.

Meh, that’s minor in the scheme of things. Though it does suck.

Welcome! This is one of the games I’ve been looking forward to this season. Happy for ISU’s success so far this year and you’re fans seem pretty chill. Hope you hang out here with us more.

So I’m a director at my company, I have a bunch of people that work for me. Do you think I fire my staff at the first major down stretch of their career? Or do I as a manager provide them direction, guidance, and give them the chance to right the ship.

Whit has 20 years of incredible success and leading Utah to new heights that we’ve never…[Read more]

No, it’s not a fact. This is what? Whit’s 20th’ year at the helm and it’s the 1st one where he’s failed. Last year sucked, but considering we were playing with 1/2 a team, it was arguably his most impressive coaching season as we still had a solid record.

Maybe give Whit a chance to turn it around if he wants to. He deserves the benefit of the…[Read more]

No, I’m not shocked about the direction of the program. Learn to read and comprehend what is written.

I’m shocked at how quickly you have turned on Whit and want him out. He delivered 20 years of greatness and now after two rough years – the 1st of which – mind you – we still won 8 games with 1/3 of a team – last season was arguably Whit’s most…[Read more]
