Utah started the topic Recruiting Rankings in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Point #1: Comparing us nationally is silly. The way the leagues have broken off…it’s counterproductive. So, all that matters is being the best Big 12 team.
In the Big 12, high school recruits:
We are ranked #5. TCU, Kansas St, Baylor, Colorado, Utah. BYU is #13.
Transfers: We are dead last because we have no transfers. lol.
Overall: We…[Read more]

Utah replied to the topic New Mexico 2024 Rushing TD’s: 37, Utah: 7 in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I totally agree.
I’m ok with it. I don’t think it really matters too much if Whitt is coming back.
I think it will be just fine. Nothing will change. Beck won’t be amazing but won’t be awful. He will be a Whitt OC. And if we lose because we go up 21-10 at halftime and Whitt handcuffs the OC then Whitt will throw Beck under the bus and fire him…[Read more]

And yet most on here were begging for a Texas St OC and UNLV OC.
Like many have said, if you took BYU and Bronco off Beck’s resume, we’d be happy.

Jason Beck needs to bring in a new RB coach. Unfortunately, our RB room has gotten worse and worse every year under Ganther.

Utah replied to the topic New Mexico QB Devon Dampier in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
If it’s between Dampier, Fifita or Nate Johnson, I’d go this way:
Fifita – First choice. He’s a QB who has actually had success on this level.
Nate Johnson – He’s a QB who has actually had experience at this level.
Dampier – He’s a bargain level Johnson. -
Utah replied to the topic Bronco to Utah State in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I think this is homerun hire for Utah State.
Jay Hill or Bronco would be lifers for that school (or Hill would be a lifer until he got the Utah job).
The MWC or PAC conference are extremely winnable. They will be on the top of the conference for a while now. Great hire for Utah State.

He’s gonna be so much bigger than Wolfman.

Utah replied to the topic Two things I don't understand about the Ute Fan base (at least online) in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Damn. Great points. Great points.
The football/basketball scheduling thing is such a no brainer. Again, look at Boise St. Schedule down, schedule home games.
It’s so simple.

Utah replied to the topic Raycine Guillory is a Ute! in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
A composite 4 star. This kid has star potential. He’s legit.
He’s a little light right now, but that is because he is going to college a year early. He looks like he can get to 200 lbs and not a Zack Moss 200, but a lean, cut, mean 200 lbs.
IF we can keep him into his second year and IF he can play next year and not get hurt because he is so…[Read more]

Utah replied to the topic OC Candidates outside of Whittingham's circle? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Even the Ravens, who are Utah’s NFL mirror…their offense didn’t take off until they started getting the ball to their receivers. They tried for years to run the ball and feature the TE…
You can’t win it all that way.
You have to be able to score quickly to be elite. And not rely of the defense to set it up. You need to be able to get the…[Read more]

Utah replied to the topic OC Candidates outside of Whittingham's circle? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Not really. Whitt completely ignores the outside receiver. He takes 2 positions on offense and turns them into blockers.
The Eagles run a run heavy offense. And they feed the ball to AJ Brown.
The 49ers run a very similar offense. And they feed the ball to Deebo and other WR’s.
The Lions are a run heavy team who also features the WR’s.I get…[Read more]

Utah replied to the topic OC Candidates outside of Whittingham's circle? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
If Whitt is the HC, it doesn’t matter. In the circle, out of the circle, the offense will be the same. Troy Taylor was as far out of the circle as it comes. He was supposed to spread the ball around. Look at our offense:
Year 1 of Troy Taylor:
The first 8 games, we threw the ball 36 times per game. We were 4-4 with a 4 game losing streak. After…[Read more]

1 – I’ve been very honest about my Boise hate. I hate them, because we did all the work and they got all the credit. Boise St’s MO is to play one tough team a year, try to win that game, then roll through a shitty WAC/MWC and get all the glory. We would schedule 2-3 P5 games a year. Boise shoots for one.
Did you know that in 2004 Boise St was…[Read more]

Utah replied to the topic CFP discussion in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Because there is no criteria anymore. No SOS, no this or that. It’s just “look at the board and do what the keyboard warriors would tell you to do.”
It also says another thing: The committee views the MWC and the Big 12 as equals. They see the strength of conference as:
#1 – SEC/Big 10
Gap
#3 – ACC
Big gap
Everyone else.This is such a shitty…[Read more]

As would Whitt. As would 99% of people. Be real man.

Utah replied to the topic I think the longer the silence, the more in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
No…but yes.
If I’m Whitt and I’m owed 20 million I tell Utah to pound sand, I’m not retiring.
Now, if Utah comes to Whitt and says, “Hey. Here’s 12 million. Wanna retire?” Then the negotiation of the buyout begins.
Whitt technically “retires” but he didn’t really retire. He was asked politely (and with a big check) to retire.

Utah replied to the topic In my best Jerry Seinfeld voice: What’s the deal with assistant coach Harding? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Sometimes making $500,000 a year with a good routine is enough for people. And that’s great for us.
Look at the Philadelphia Eagles. They easily have the best OL coach in the NFL. Been with the Eagles for 12 years. Sometimes great money doing something you love is great.
Harding was one of our many, many OC’s. I wonder if he didn’t like it.…[Read more]

Utah replied to the topic Why would an OC who has designed a fast-paced offense want to coach under Whitt? in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
This is tough. I get why Whitt doesn’t change. He makes millions of dollars a year, he gets to live around his family, etc, etc, etc.
To make a drastic change on the offensive side of the ball…it’s risky. Sure, you can win a big time bowl game, maybe even a national championship. BUT, if you lose more…well, this is a fickle job and fans and…[Read more]

I think everyone knows that Troy Taylor is a HC in spite of Whitt, not because of Whitt.
