Welcome to the senior citizen club Kyle. Worst birthday of my life. Your officially old and don’t want the senior discounts because your in denial.

Now that I’m 2 generations away for college kids I can see clearly that the younger generation can’t relate to me. As much as I loved and respected my grandparents I figured they were out of touch. Saban was an anomaly as he put players in the NFL and his age was overlooked. The most successful coaches in college and NFL are the younger 1 generation ( parents age). The older Ute hubbers know what I’m talking about.

No thanks on Bronco. We need media friendly and more transparency in the program. “gamesmanship” only sets you up for failure with the fans that support the program. Hopefully Scalley has learned from Whitts mistakes. How about simplifying things for the players and coaches. Our guys seem to be over thinking and hesitating instead of just playing and having fun. I think Scalley will bring a different element.

I agree with everything you said Aloha. One thing to consider is Whitt has said he is ready to retire at anytime. Scalley has been hired to replace him. Essentially a lame duck coach. Now a losing season and some chaos in the program. Convincing good players to stay will be crucial. Scalley can promise a change on offense while maintaining the defense and overall culture.

I know they didn’t want yo lose Scalley but coach in waiting shouldn’t be more than 1 year. Recruits want to know who they will be playing for.

You don’t need our help. Just win and you’re in.

[Jim Vanderhoof]

Yeah I should have said hope to win not expect. Now I’m on the no hope to win expect to lose.

[Jim Vanderhoof]

Maybe if we expect to lose we will win. Hasn’t worked the other way.

I think he has made up his mind and is playing the “gamesmanship “ card. At the presser he talked about NIL as being the difference between competing at the highest level or being average. We don’t have the financial backing to get to the next level as very few programs do. To get top portal recruits it takes$$$. If he had the deep pockets to turn things around quicker he might stay. I think we’re looking at a 2-3 year rebuild at best.

[Jim Vanderhoof]

I love your optimism Utesrule. I guess we will find out Saturday if the team is still fighting.

[Jim Vanderhoof]

Glorifying a coach and then firing him is not a good look for your program. I think he is done. This year has been hard on him. He expected to go out with a CFP bid and walk away in the sunset. He needs to do what’s best for the program. He is working side by side with Scalley on the new OC which is a good sign.
