Yea, this no bueno. Im guessing he’s getting some offers and so begins the highest bidder game. The free market is fully taking hold and Whitt was right–soon the top 25 teams will just reflect the top 25 spending NIL programs…

Hard to put aside the ‘childish behavior after the BYU game.’ It made national news and re-enforced negative stereotypes of Utes fans (and by extension the University)–we’re entitled, hate our league etc.–which may be true–but not something your AD should want to reinforce as a major representative of the University.

Ive always seen him as an empty suit, never had much opinion until his charade after the game, I lost all respect for the dude. Half his job is to represent the U in a positive light nationally–he didn’t even give an apology and try to change the narrative.

He and Randall were the ones behind the $50M valuation–hard to know to what extent that had an effect on things collapsing, but certainly didn’t help.

Just don’t see much growth in the gameday experience or media stuff like im seeing at other major programs. Cant really give him credit or blame for how teams do on the field, he’s really more big picture, representing the U and major hires–C. Smith TBD. Give him a B for his admin work, and F for his being a rep of the U.

It’s like all of a sudden someone turned on the lights and they all just scurried out from under the fridge. Life was so much better before the infestation.

Zoobs are weirdos, confirmed

From your posts its clear you’re a BYU fan–all your posts are trying to create FUD, you called us ‘Ute Nation’ Get out of your mom’s basement and do something with your life, homie.

The picture is becomming clearer and clearer; the past 2 years werent just bad injury luck–they were poorly managed and coached. The inability to have a contingency for your most important position is baffling, he looks lost, time for fresh blood–we’re in a death spiral, you dont keep the same approach and expect different results

I think there’s a lot of angst as the landscape is changing rapidly in CFB and the program really needs solid leadership now more than ever.

Its clear Whitt’s a legend, just his coaching style doesn’t work as well with today’s NIL/Portal era. Scalley seems to be a good fit for the new era and playbooks need to be learned in 3 months, not 3 years. We had 2 years to adapt and improvise and didn’t, and the results showed. I think that’s why many are wanting to move on to MS sooner rather than later. The new OC seems like a good add, so Im not as anxious for change as I was a week ago–but its still time.

My only request is a tad more transparency up on the hill. Heck we still have no official word on Whitt’s official status–Im sure recruits and insiders know, we can all assume, but part of leading the program is being transparent–obviously not to the extent of giving out game plans but maybe reassuring the fans to some degree. I mean fans are a large part of the program–if we don’t show up/financially support, there is no program. So no sense in leaving us in the dark this much

This was the most baffling thing of the night for me. Lohner has already blocked at least 1 FG this season, he’s 6-8 and can jump, he’s been out there on most FG attempts. On a 44 yard FG the trajecetory is lower than most, why on earth was he not out there like he usually is sticking a hand up?

Lets be honest, our D last year was elite, they won us 8 games. The talent and stats back that up–Ellis, Bishop, O’Tool, Reid, Battle. Chocked with NFL talent, elite. Now that our D has come back down to earth somewhat it shows how bad our offense really has been the last 2 years. Our D has been putting perfume on the rotting corpse that has been our O, its just now the perfume is slightly wearing off that we are seeing things for what they are.

He doesn’t have the courage, he’s had rising goggles for 2 years. Basically had no QB last year bc of Cam holding the team hostage. This is not the university of cam rising. They’re attached at the hip and it’s holding the team back.
