Nothing against him, but I’ll believe that when he has 4 or 5 nice games under his belt. We’ve thought that about several Utes this year, and they all fizzled out.

I pick Nick Saban. Before you laugh, its just as realistic an option as anyone else not named Morgan Scalley.

When I suggested we move on from Cam after the 2nd Rose Bowl loss I got flamed. I suggested then that it would be better for health of the program to move on.

Not that disappointed by QB or RB play tbh. Going into the season any unbiased observer knew it was 1) highly unlikely that Rising would make it through the season uninjured, even if he was fully healed from previous injury (he wasn’t fully healed) 2) highly likely that our backups would struggle because one is a true freshman with a high schooler’s body, and the others couldn’t beat out Bryson Barnes and Nate Johnson.

RB – I’m not so disappointed about this group because MB did a better job than anyone had any right to expect, and the other guys were either freshmen or previously proven to be terrible running backs. If you are disappointed.

If you are disappointed in either of these groups, that is on you.

TE – This group was the most disappointing out of the offensive groups. Kuithe did his best, but nobody behind him did a damned thing. Is that their fault? Probably not. Whoever’s fault it was, it was a disappointing season for them. Yes, I said WAS. This season is over.

I’m really happy with what I’ve seen so far. It is nice having guys like Sharavjamts and Madsen in the backcourt making smart plays. I’ve loved the ball movement so far. I have my doubts about this team’s ability to continue this style of clean play against much bigger and more athletic teams, but I think we will at least surprise some teams at home.

Having an experienced team is a big deal in college basketball. Basketball is a precision game. If you are off by an inch or two you will miss a lot of shots. A lack of experience leads to rushed decisions, which leads to be ever so slightly off, which leads to missed shots and bad passes. Hopefully the level headed play this team has shown can at least carry through to all home games. If it can, we might actually be decent this year.

For those of you wondering how to pronounce Sharavjamts, the announcer in this video actually does a pretty good job (not the country bumpkin-sounding guy, he butchered it, but the other guy that says it first does a satisfactory job).

They addressed that this last offseason.

and none of that goes against the OP’s main premise. All of what you said can be 100% true, and Whitt could be (probably is) the greatest coach the UofU football team has ever had.

You also have to account for the fact that he was a big part of Urban Meyer’s and McBride’s success. Whitt has been here a VERY long time. Regardless of whether he is a great coach, a good coach, or a s**tty coach, he is the best we’ve ever had.

Wtf are you smoking? Whitt’s closed practice policy has been in place for many years.

[chinngiskhaan]

hahahaha. You got me there. I meant to put something to that effect in my post but forgot.

A lot of childishly stupid behavior is fun.
