Whitt says all the right things where he is acutely tuned in to what is needed in the modern landscape , and then the results look the same every year with a few outliers.

He almost won me back in this interview, especially saying that maybe he should open practices back up so we can see what the team is actually doing and working on..

DO IT!! We need real sports reporting again!!

[jshame17]

So, basically the same…..

But against harder competition. So, edge to Whitt.

[jshame17]

Ultimately, it all falls on Whitt.

I am however trying to let my “better angels win” and am trying to give him some grace I hope I’d receive.

Things we know that have impacted the team:

1- Whitt has course corrected in the past. Although his offense issues are consistent, he has found enough to win games.

2- one of his best assistant coaches is massively underperforming, I’d assume due to massive distractions on the home front. Shah is not the coach he has been in the past and should not being managing DBs and special teams. He needs to get back to getting next level Corners. Whitt needs to lessen what’s on his plate.

3- injuries. Holy hell the injuries. In Whitt’s control or not? Needs to address the training staff.

4- Whitt needs to address the inconsistent oline play. We finely have tackles, but the interior is. It getting it done.

5- RB room is massively not performing or developing. Whitt can’t stay the course here.

6- QB. Not confident Whitt has an answer here despite saying it’s the most important position again, he hasn’t delivered here in his career. Concerning.

7- defense is not filled with draft-able players, IMO, but they’re still getting it done for the most part. Whitt deserves credit for keeping this as his legacy and a sense of pride. Minus the lack of sacks and turnovers this year.

Is all of this fires me right now? Or does he get 1 more shot to stamp his legacy??

His position coach.

I can’t think of a player he put in the league, that already wasn’t on that trajectory and he should never get credit for Bolles. He came to Utah for his wife and was NFL bound no matter what.

Look.

Maybe you have a 5 generation connection to the U, if true, then I apologize for calling you a coog.

I don’t like the direction of the program or how stubborn Whitt is. I’ve been more vocal about him needing to go and it hurting the program with his control over the offense.

His love affair with Cam and letting him call the shots is high school level amateurish, in my opinion.

Alienating the fan base by closing practices and the athletics program threatening press credentials of anyone that challenges the coaches is not healthy for an overall community.

You want our money, let us look behind the curtain a bit since this is a public university and not a privately owned pro team.

Unfortunately, every program that has a reputation or legacy of building teams slowly and developing players, has been upended with the new world of NIL. We seen many legacy coaches struggle with the impact to team culture. Some walked like Saban and Peterson. Others are struggling. Look at OK State and FSU.

Whitt is 2 years removed from some the highest we have climbed as I never thought I’d get to watch our Utes in the Rose Bowl.

The past 2 years are 2 massive strikes, so I’m (slightly) okay if he stays in for his 3rd, but if we see a similar result next year? Done immediately, as he has shown he’s slow to adjust and not micro manage. He has to adapt NOW. He was able to after 2 horrible years adjusting to the pac12.

He needs to let coaches coach and players play. He has no choice but let Scalley take control of the offensive decisions and step back or the program is going to struggle for the next 5 years.

[jshame17]

Don’t be shocked. It’s just a coog troll that created an account to stir the pot. Just look at their post history.

[jshame17]

Good QBs move quickly in the portal. As another poster said, how are we going to have those conversations when we don’t have an OC to lead them?

I think we miss on all targets because we have nothing to sell and Whitt ALWAYS takes his time picking coordinators.

We will be deep into portal season before one is named, and that is not going to help our cause next year.

We need to act fast, make a statement that turns heads and gets attention.

The big question for me in regards to a power run game isn’t just the RBs…

If we keep Harding, can the oline actually start moving people? Power running isn’t just Moss breaking 2 tackles in the backfield to gain 10 yards.

Boise’s online actually opens up holes..
no offense can run when the QB and RB are dodging people in the backfield every play.

That is what made Wilson’s hesitation so frustrating. The few times he had time, he couldn’t pull the trigger and didn’t climb the pocket…

[jshame17]

Ah, the classic Ford Motor quote..
Fits perfectly.

[jshame17]

What?

Whitt said himself he didn’t pull Cam when he couldn’t hit a single pass against Arizona State., because…. Cam said he was going to keep playing. 28.7 QBR and 3 ints….

He let the PLAYER make the decision and it cost the TEAM severely…

Whitt absolutely caved to Cam and NIL over the team..
