Help me with “Rising’s development”.
If we are talking one read and take off, that doesn’t really fit with development.
If we see the same guy in 2024 as 2021/22, making the same plays but also not making the same plays, did he really develop?
Rising has proven the ability to run Ludwig’s 1990’s vintage offense at a high level. From my…[Read more]

And the routes allowed the safety doubling the seam pattern to easily leave his receiver and undercut Parks on the post. Meanwhile, a deep flag route would have resulted in single coverage with presumably Parks having the same gap.
Perhaps Parks made a different read than Barnes was expecting which caused the late throw. More likely, based on…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Fire Ludwig in the forum Football 9 months ago
I’m curious. How bad does the offense have to perform for it to be on the guy who is responsible for the offense’s performance?
If we are to believe Whitt, the hierarchy for blame is: Head coach, Coordinators, Position Coaches, Players.

Putting a lot of eggs in that Wilson basket. I hope he’s the exception but recent history at Utah, the Pac-12 and across the nation says that he’s not going to be an immediate success. And if/when he does become a starter, it will be at a different school.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Rose in the forum Football 9 months ago
I tend to believe that Rose will not get a medical year. He’s been running the scout team for a couple of months and “been available in an emergency” for close to the same. That has been not only public knowledge but Whitt has specifically said it in multiple interviews. So he falls into the DNP-coaches decision category instead of season…[Read more]

“This” has been coming since fall camp. It wasn’t a one game anomaly. Not wanting to believe what you are seeing is not the same as it not being there.

2008 National Champ replied to the topic What does all-in or in the way mean? in the forum Football 9 months ago
So get rid of a coach who’s unit is performing up to standard so that you can force another assistant to help the coach(s) who aren’t? That model is how successful businesses and programs fail.
Identify the problem, correct the problem. Letting it continue unabated while reallocating resources is going to cost more in the long run than you…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Ludwig didn't call a great game, but this is 90% Barnes' fault in the forum Football 9 months ago
It’s easy to blame Barnes and he should be accountable for his part. At the same time, did anyone ever really feel at any time this season like the offense had figured out what it did well and leaned into it?
All I saw for 13 games was the same plays that had been run for the last 4+ years but with personnel incapable of running them competently…[Read more]

34 may be the total yards gained by Utah tonight. Top 10 OC in $ had a month to come up with this offense

2008 National Champ replied to the topic JJ in the forum Football 9 months ago
not even past the bowl game and people are already projecting out the best possible outcomes for 2024. didn’t anyone learn from 2023 that there are going to be obstacles and sometimes, the team just won’t be able to overcome them?

2008 National Champ replied to the topic FSU suing the ACC. More dominoes for the super blue bloods in the forum Football 9 months ago
The problem with the super conference idea is that a lot of schools that think they should be in the club are either going to get left out or traditional relationships are going to make it too bloated to ever be effective.
The pro model is based on having teams in the largest metropolitan areas to maximize local revenue. The college model is…[Read more]

2008 National Champ replied to the topic Big 12 wrap up video in the forum Football 9 months ago
I’d have to agree. The Pac-10 didn’t really want Utah and that changed over time. I don’t doubt that Utah will be a respected member of the Big-12 and sooner rather than later.
Change is tough on everyone. Just give it time to work itself out.

Ritchie still has a redshirt year available to him as he played too many games this year so as far as eligibility goes, he will be a true sophomore in 2024.

Different staff but Barnes held an offer from WSU. They are in need of a QB and he would still technically be P5.

Do they know about the ones who work out only? How about all of the kids who come in to great fanfare because the staff is always right and leave without accomplishing anything on the field? Did the all-knowing staff bring them in knowing that they were going to fail?

Fitzgerald was fired before the season so the 7-5 is all on the interim (now permanent) coach.
