      given everything that’s gone on this season and Iowa State being motivated to keep in the conference race, an 11 point spread doesn’t sound unreasonable.

      There’s a game tomorrow? Am I the only one who thought the season ended weeks ago and we’re just totaling up the damage now?

      I think he’s trying to say that if the people who agree to follow the honor code are allowed to find loopholes, it’s not much of an honor code.

      abysmal is probably the nicest way to describe any defense that allowed 38 points to an Isaac Wilson led offense this season

      I agree with your premise. I want to boo Rising breaking Britain Covey’s record of longest tenured Utah player. Not sure how to vote

      Just sayin’. Taggart and Christobal stopped recruiting for Oregon when they knew they had other jobs lined up. Nothing is guaranteed but getting a big time flip right before signing day doesn’t scream “I’m going to be somewhere else in a couple of weeks”

      2009: Schramm promoted to OC, Alford moved from Corners to RB’s, Blake Miller hired for O Line
      2011: Chow hired as OC, brought Tim Davis to coach O line after Miller left. Schramm/Arod reassigned
      2012: Johnson promoted to OC. Dan Finn O Line. Hill moved to RB’s. Tuiaki hired for FB’s/TE’s
      2013: Erickson brought in as co-OC. Tuiaki to D Line, Hill back to TE’s
      2014: Christensen brought in as OC. Harding hired for O Line. Stubblefield hired for WR’s
      2015: Arod/Harding co-OC’s. Freddie W hired for TE’s. Holliday hired for WR’s
      2016: no changes
      2017: Taylor hired as OC. Brought McDonald with him to coach RB’s.
      2018: no changes
      2019: Ludwig brought back. No other changes

      Based on the above, I can’t see any time that a new OC brought in his own people other than Taylor and he got 1. Everyone else was a Whitt hire and that’s the biggest reason Utah’s offensive philosophy hasn’t changed in the last 2 decades.

      It’s always up for negotiation but usually a new OC will bring at least one assistant with them. Utah OC’s under Whitt being the exception because other than Taylor, and I suppose the original Ludwig, he’s just brought in caretakers.

      Put another way, would you want to take a 3 year position (standard coordinator contract length) knowing that all of your assistants and players were already chosen for you? Doesn’t sound like a place where you would be bringing in a new philosophy or ownership of your side of the ball.

      his preachy style worked just fine when he was a player. Deion seems pretty good at communicating with people and getting them on his side.

      Also, he’s sure recruiting like he plans on staying at Colorado. Just picked up a 4 star QB over SC and Georgia. And we know he can get talent out of the portal

      isn’t that the theme for this year’s offense? Did not Finish
