      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 objectively at the program as it stands presently and honestly consider passing on the baton.

      Consider this. If this WAS THE LAST YEAR in Whitt’s contract, how many of you, how many tens of thousands of UTE fans who loyally support this program and fill up Ute Stadium each game, would be ‘Clamoring’ right now for the higher ups to RENEW or RENEGOTIATE Whit’s contract for another 1 or 2 or 3 more years??

      Of course this is a rhetorical question and can’t accurately be answered. My guess though is that under this scenario most Ute fans would be very appreciative of Whitt’ s body of work, but also be encouraging him to look to retirement and let the program to move forward. With Scalley’s appointment in place why not move forward now?

      I bring up the salary issue only because it really is the deal breaker. Frankly, I don’t think there are many that could walk away from generational wealth for their family. Just sayin.

      That’s it. Thanks for reading’!

      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 by 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!

      They say Excuses are for Losers….Only Results Matter. And don’t forget…

      There are those that MAKE things happen.
      There are those that Watch things happen.
      And there are those that say…WHAT HAPPENED?

      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 program soar!

      Look, undeniably with all these issues, Whittingham is losing credibility fast. And nationally, Harlan’s image has taken a beating and is now UNsurprisingly right up there with Whitt.

      Our team, fans, community and state expect and demand better. The question is, WILL THE UTE FANBASE REMAIN COMMITTED to this brand of ineptitude and leadership that is markedly underperforming at best, or teetering on total incompetence and embarrassment at it’s worst?

      What say you, fellow ute aficionados?

      “It’s Ganther’s fault!” “Nah, Harding’s the one who’s not cuttin’ it!” “You’re both wrong. “Freddie’s the real problem here! “Come on, you dopes. You’re blind if you can’t see Alvis Whitted has done absolutely jack-squat with the receiver room!’ “What’s wrong with all you guys..you all need glasses. Don’t forget, it was Ludwig who was steering the ship. I say, good riddance to bad trash!”

      Yep, that about sums it up, right? Who else could possibly be responsible for this dumpster fire of a football program?????

      “R E L A X” said the guests on the Titanic. It was just a little ‘shudder’.
