No offense, but I disagree with almost all of this. From my perspective….
1-Utah sports are doing good (except for the two biggies), but how much of that was him? Gymnastic almost tanked, but under the threats of lawsuits, he finally took action. Men’s baseball has tanked under him. Women’s BB\Gym was already at the top of their game. He literally made safe hires when needed, but otherwise has done nothing.
2-Football. This is 100% on Harlan. Harlan had a chance to grow our NIL early. Instead he opted for gimmicks (free trucks for the year) instead of cash. I know people say it’s not up to the school. BS. Particularly the AD. He needs to steer that and motivate donors. Instead he taxed the “poor” (season ticket holders). As far as moving forward, it was HE who agreed to make Scalley the HC in waiting. It was HE who reinstated that status after taking it away. I’m supportive of it, FWIW, but let’s not pretend he didn’t have anything to do with it.
3-Basketball. Others have covered this pretty well. He had a chance to hire big, he took what he saw as the safe out. Smith did well at UT St and to be honest, I actually don’t blame him for this hire. But why not go big when the money is there, and it was?
As far as my desire to want him fired (I do), it has nothing to do with his post game comments (which I have never seen BTW). It’s been clear to me from very early on, his goal was to come in, raise revenue for his resumes’ sake, and bolt. He doesn’t care about Utah (the school, the state or the culture), he doesn’t understand NIL AND he can’t relate to the fans, the players or the coaches. He is Taylor’s yes man and Taylor is just as incompetent in this area.
My two cents, flame away.
