2008 National Champ

where does the 170 fit?

OC for Urban’s first 3 teams at Ohio State that went 12-0 while on probation, 12-2 and 14-1 with a National Championship. 37.2, 45.5 (3rd) and 44.8 (5th) points per those 3 years.

Or he was told who the new OC is going to be but asked to keep it quiet

Lots of reason for late flips and it seems like SC is getting/losing commits every day

Ashton Jeanty v the best team Phil Knight can buy? I don’t even have to think twice but I’ll admit that if it’s not Utah I want whatever is worst for the power brokers. I understand if others don’t feel the same way

Scalley made a little less than Ludwig this year at 1.5 MM. Better money than he could make as a G5 head coach.

Assistant Coach Salaries

gimme the smurf turf all the way. 1st round bye, beat #5, beat #1 Oregon in a rematch, beat whoever in the final.

Show the P2 that their TV dollars don’t mean a thing and that they shouldn’t have been forcing out the little guy for the past 100+ years

you mean planes from Vegas can go more places than just Salt Lake? that can’t be true

follow up: The concept of the more points you score, the better your chances of winning feels so intuitive that I can’t believe it’s not on Whitt’s analytics sheet.

Whitt has coached 252 games (not counting 2005 Fiesta Bowl) and won 166 of them (.659). His win % by points scored in his career:

0-10: 0-23 (.000)
11-20: 14-26 (.350)
21-30: 49-29…[Read more]

a 42-21 win counts the same as 24-3. Lots of coaches have figured that out. Not all, but lots.

I did not know that. I do know that both Oregon State and Washington State have won conference championships since then. You know, those schools the Big 12 fans tell us we’d be stupid to want to be in a conference with again

Chip Kelly always hated recruiting. That’s why he had to leave Oregon before the show cause penalty for hiring a 3rd party to recruit for him. Add NIL to the mix, along with having made a lot of money in his career, and I can see wanting to do the only part of football he liked again.

don’t you dare try to take delusional and pathetic away from me. I want that on my tombstone

Arbuckle, Mateer and the #7 scoring offense just put up 14 points on a Wyoming defense that gives up 30 per

it’s always cute when people get proven wrong and then claim the debate they engaged in was beneath them

And it’s why any claim supported by a poll or ranking is as valid as any other. Just because the AP and Coach’s polls have been around longer doesn’t make them better. For years, the coaches in the Coach’s poll handed over their votes to someone else in their athletic department, usually a staffer. And reporters have been notorious for favoring…[Read more]

The NCAA has never crowned a champion for its highest level of football. That has always been the province of 3rd parties whether the wire services, the coaches association, the BCS or the CFP.

That was just information. I’ve come to no opinion on an OC who hasn’t been hired by Utah yet.

For the record, I would love to see Whitt bring in an OC and turn him loose on the competition in the same way he’s allowed Scalley on that side of the ball. I’d also like Whitt, if he stays, to either bring in someone who can get the special teams…[Read more]

that didn’t make sense.,, Did you mean Miami better hope SMU wins?

I’ve watched a bunch of WSU games the last 2 years. It’s not an Air Raid offense like we were used to seeing with Leach. It’s more similar to what we saw Eric Morris run with Cam Ward when Utah played WSU in 2022. Dillingham and Will Stein (Oregon) are also similar.

Lots of quick screens (bubble and tunnel) to the sidelines paired with slants…[Read more]
