press-on replied to the topic Mike Washington Commitment in the forum Football 5 days, 21 hours ago
Love the pickup! A ‘Larry Czonka’ type, … tough, tough running back. Shula remolded Czonka’s running game back in the day to literally become a human ‘bulldozer’. A little smaller but Washington may give the Utes the same. You need 2-3 yards, you get 2-3 yards!
BTW, I’m eating some crow right now, too. Thought Whitt was all washed up.…[Read more]

press-on replied to the topic THINK ABOUT THIS …. in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago
I guess, to distill the issue, my point is if you’re turned on by MINOR LEAGUE Professional baseball, football, soccer, whatever … go for it! Not going to criticize anyone if that’s your thing. For others, …they’re done.
Fact: Utah football doesn’t exist anymore! Utah SPONSORED Professional Minor league football is the
replacement for…[Read more] -
press-on started the topic THINK ABOUT THIS …. in the forum Football 1 week, 3 days ago
Think about this for a minute my friends… a commentary about today’s Collegiate Football.
In the blink of an eye The University of Utah (and all other college football institutions) have transformed themselves from HAVING football ‘teams’ that represented their respective schools, to SPONSORING Minor League Professional Football Franchises…[Read more]

press-on replied to the topic What's He Goin' Do? in the forum Football 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Hey, you geniuses.
Question: Tell me, at this point in time, what is the downside to disclosing if ‘you’re (Whitt) coming back?’ There is NO downside! And likewise, if you’re moving on, ‘what’s the downside to disclosing it? There is NO downside! THINK ABOUT IT! Uncertainty…that’s what you’ve got right now!
You want the best talent? You…[Read more]

EVERY football team in American is WHITE HOT right now on the recruiting trial! Time is short and the best remaining talent is goin’ fast!
Number 1 question, EVERY recruit wants to know … WHO AM I PLAYING FOR? (WHO’S THE HEAD COACH)

press-on replied to the topic Reason #638462 Yormark is a hack and the Big 12 sucks. in the forum Football 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Thanks Jim for your perspective. I believe you are spot on.
Kliavkoff was old school and reactionary. Probably viewed his mandate simply as one to negotiate a deal for the PAC 12. Didn’t see the landscape rapidly changing in college football all around him and I believe was naively broadsided by it all.
Yormark seems to be by contrast,…[Read more]

press-on started the topic Whittingham meeting with Cam in the forum Football 3 weeks, 3 days ago
Whittingham on Rising, at the pressor Monday following the ISU game.
“I talked to Cam after the game Saturday,” Whittingham said. “We’re going to visit this week and catch up. I have no inside scoop or anything right now as to what he’s thinking. Obviously, we’ve got to at some point make our own decisions on what, what’s going to happen if he’…[Read more]

press-on replied to the topic This May Not Be Popular 2.0 in the forum Football 3 weeks, 4 days ago
Gamy,
I always love when someone says, “no disrespect intended”, but then goes on to be as disrespectful as H*ll trashing his target. Doesn’t play good. Listen, you line up against your opponent and play the game. It’s the way it’s always been and the way it will always be. Besides, what do you base this denigration of Armstrong on? His…[Read more]

press-on started the topic This May Not Be Popular 2.0 in the forum Football 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Read many posters claiming that “Whittingham is the greatest coach Utah has ever had”. (A few cited Urban but nixed him because he wasn’t here long enough).
Sorry, but gotta call BS on all of you Whitt homies for not knowing your Utah Coaches. Compared to the best coach Utah has ever had, Whittingham’s record is very pedestrian at best. And…[Read more]

press-on replied to the topic Coach of the future! in the forum Football 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Brettski,
You’re way too far over your skis, Man! I’ve covered this before. I have 5 GENERATIONS of UTE blood in my veins. And proud of it! Bet that’s 3 to 4 times at least more than you! But that’s not the point here.
I ask the hypothetical question to try to get some of you non-thinkers to consider where the program is headed. You may…[Read more]

press-on replied to the topic Coach of the future! in the forum Football 3 weeks, 6 days ago
That’s not the question. It’s about Whittingham as Utah’s coach going forward. Do you say, “thank’s Coach, but we’re moving on”..or “you’re our man for the next 3 years”.

press-on started the topic Coach of the future! in the forum Football 3 weeks, 6 days ago
If this was the last year in Coach Whittingham’s contract, and you were his boss, would you give him a fresh, new 3 year contract to lead the UTES going forward?

Sincerely, thanks to each and every one who has posted. A lot of good comments and opinions!
Just want to clarify. I AM NOT calling for Coach Whittingham to be fired. No. Not at all! Too good of a coach! Too good of a man who had given his very best to The University, with amazing success. Thank you Coach! No. I am just asking Coach to look…[Read more]

And Shame,
My post history is consistent. It’s time for Whitt to retire. He’s old. The game’s passing him by. The program is in shambles. Sorry, but that’s a fact! You must be part of Whitt’s staff to not see it. Oh, and the way, I’ll bet my pedigree at the U goes way beyond yours. 5 generations, man …and proud of it!!

Aloha,
So you’re shocked to learn some fans are unhappy with the direction of the program? Well, frankly, it’s shocking that you are so naive to think that! Probably best to hide your head back in the sand and pretend this last year is just a bad dream!

press-on started the topic THE NEW PLAN! in the forum Football 1 month ago
Is this the new plan?….. ‘We’ve learned our lesson’. “We’re now looking at a plug-and-play scheme”. No more 2-3 years to learn the offense. Oh, and we’re goin’ need 40-45 new players next year to get this thing rolling ….’And don’t forget our new OC. And while we’re at, let’s consider opening practices again to the media and fans.

No one has said it does. But all careers ultimately come to an end.

If we close out on an 8 game skid, Whittingham will break Tom Levat’s infamous 1974 record of 7 straight L’s in a season! Mount that one on the wall!
Look, if we take a step back to honestly evaluate, it’s a hard call but it really is time to move on. Rebuild! Build back better. Scalley is young and talented. It’s his time NOW to make this…[Read more]
