I wonder how much Whitt’s fuckups at QB have him second guessing himself.

Look at all the QB’s he fucked up on:

He started Jon Hays over Travis Wilson.
He picked Jack Tuttle over Zach Wilson.
He actually made the right decision on Huntley, starting him over Williams.
He started Bentley over Rising.
He started Brewer over Rising.
He started…[Read more]

Jon Sumrall
Ryan Silverfield
Jamey Chadwell
Spencer Danielson
Barry Odom
Jay Hill
Jake Dickert

There is a list of successful HC’s.

I’d also talk to Dan Mullin and see if Chris Petersen is interested. If DeBoer became available I’d go hard after him.

Utah is not a top 3/5 program.

What I was trying to say is that out of all the jobs available, Utah is a top 3, top 5 job. We would have a ton of coaches to choose from.

Hell, Kalen DeBoer may be available. I’d take him over Scalley. Hell, I’d take him over Whitt. DeBoer can make the playoffs.

There will be a lot of good coaches available in…[Read more]

Whitt’s best year was his fourth year. Every year after that, he has had major coaching issues that have screwed over Utah.

2008: Almost lost to New Mexico. Should have lost to TCU.
2011: Can’t beat Colorado to go to the PAC-12 title game.
2019: Got blown out by Oregon when a win puts him in the playoffs.
2021: Went with Brewer over Rising.…[Read more]

Ugh. Honestly? Probably neither.

On the one hand, you have a guy who has been here a long time, but peaked in 2021 and has been getting worse ever since. Hell, even 2021 started off as a complete shit show as he started Brewer or Bentley over Rising and it wasn’t until we lost to BYU and SDSU that Whitt pulled his head out of his ass and started…[Read more]

Barkley’s first 70+ yard TD run, Covey had the last block on two secondary players that helped him score untouched.

Here is an article about it:

This is what Google said:

Yes, it’s common for high school football coaches to move on to college football, and many successful college coaches have started their careers in high school:
Gus Malzahn: Coached at various high schools in Arkansas for 14 years before moving on to college
David Cutcliffe: Coached at Banks High School in Alabama for…[Read more]

Why watch that when you could watch Saquan Fucking Barkley!!!

Go Birds!!!

Whitt’s problem is he knows to win a national title, he needs a QB.

But once the QB has a bad game, he reverts back to his old school philosophy of shorten the game and try to win 3-0.

He won’t allow an offense to operate properly. He needs to admit to himself that he doesn’t really want to win a national title, he just wants to win 9+ games…[Read more]

If he was hired after the Penn St Rose Bowl, I’d want him fired.

He’s gotten worse the last two years.
His recruiting has gotten worse the last two years.
His QB has regressed both years.

If he was a two year old Utah HC I’d want him gone asap so he didn’t completely undo the good Whitt had built before him.

These last two seasons are 100…[Read more]

Are you serious?

The problem is 100% the QB.

10-3 at halftime vs Arizona.
9-13 at halftime vs ASU.
10-0 at halftime vs TCU.
7-7 at halftime vs Houston.
21-10 at halftime vs BYU.
21-9 at halftime vs Colorado.
17-13 at halftime vs ISU.

We would be undefeated with no change other than Rising at QB.

QB is 100% the issue.

Whitt will 100% make the offense huddle up and run the clock. It is who he is.

If you think Scalley is the future, then it’s time for Whitt to go.

Whitt has shown he will actively fights against a QB centered offense.

I’ve said this all season: they should have given Rising’s money to Jackson.

If Whitt comes back, I hire Boise St’s OC (a run heavy offense), take the QB money and give it to two RB’s and try to keep Rose and Rising for as little money as possible.

Whitt is what he is and…[Read more]

And even Rising and Huntley were hurt every year they played. Wilson was constantly hurt. Wynn was constantly hurt. BJ was constantly hurt.

This isn’t a new issue.

In all seriousness…are you just an Utah fan so you can say “I told you so”?

It really doesn’t seem like you like Utah. In fact, if you changed your name to “EagleMountainCoug” and kept your posts the same, everyone would think you were a BYU troll.

Anyways, the problem is the refs. Yes, the refs have sucked. Yes, they have screwed Utah over.…[Read more]

True.

But BYU didn’t have their successor lined up. Completely different situations.

If you like Scalley enough to name him the next HC already, then you believe he can replicate what Whitt has done. If you don’t believe this, then you’re a fool for naming him the HC in waiting.

So, you think Scalley is just as good as Whitt and Whitt has a…[Read more]

You watch Dillingham vs Whittingham. Dillingham is a young Whitt.
Whatever fire Whitt used to have, it’s gone now.

I’m not sure Whitt is willing to do the work anymore to be successful.

I said this after the Baylor game.

The Big 12 isn’t tough. They are dirty. It’s a MWC level conference. It’s Wyoming level shit.

We do. All the fucking time. Rising lived on those. So did Huntley. And Bottatari.

Wilson wouldn’t throw the ball. Who knows why. Whitt said he was scared to make a mistake.

The short receivers were open all season long. And he wouldn’t throw the ball.
