No A’s for any of them unless we have at least a 70% TD success rate inside the Red Zone.

ProudUte replied to the topic A former UTE I'd love to have on the staff. in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Weddle should come coach now at Utah and his son can play for the QB whisperer, coach Kjar at Corner Canyon.

ProudUte replied to the topic Rank the coaching changes in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I don’t think Harding is a poor coach. But, I do think that our offensive line has not been top-tier like we need to be to compete at this level. Just my uneducated opinion. I admit that I am limited in what I know about the Oline and their specific assignments.
Yes, Fano is getting a lot of positive pub right now. That’s a great thing!

As for me – I give it a grade of B. I kind of like Beck, but he was our third choice. I think Atuaia is a good get with some solid experience. Micah Simon may end up being good, but he lacks big-time experience. This is position group that needs help.
I would have changed the Oline coach. It seems like Harding has something on Whitt. I…[Read more]

I wanted Fesi to be our WR coach. I guess he is too tied to Kalani.

ProudUte started the topic Micah Simon the new WR coach in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I have been pleased with our other new coaches. I think we could have done better at WR. He completed his playing career at BYU just 5 years ago. He has only one year as a WR coach, at UNM.
Maybe he will be great, but his resume is not too impressive.
It appears that Beck has a huge say in who will be coaching on the offense. All of these…[Read more]

Boumeister got too tired. He had to punt way too much and this was too hard on him. 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic Looks like we're hiring Mark Atuaia from wazzu as RB coach in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I hope this is true. I liked Ganther when he played at Utah, but he has not been a great RB coach IMO.
Atuaia has a solid resume, so I hope it’s true. He has definitely resigned from WSU. However, there are some rumors he will be the OC for Bronco at USU.

ProudUte replied to the topic NIL and the portal might be the final straw for me in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
It’s not a moral issue, IMO, and I do not blame a kid for looking for the most money he can get. Nothing wrong with that. It’s not the kids – it’s the system that has got our of hand.

ProudUte replied to the topic NIL and the portal might be the final straw for me in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I am fine with the concept of NIL. I think it is great that a kid gets paid for selling his jersey or doing an add for a local company. Paying a kid for his his NIL is fine. But, offering a kid 7 million before he has ever played a game …
I can only speak for me, and for me the entire NIL/portal thing has gotten out of hand and starting to…[Read more]

ProudUte started the topic NIL and the portal might be the final straw for me in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
I have been a huge college sports fan since I was a young kid. I loved the days when a young man stayed all four years at a school, i.e., Van Horn, Doleac, Miller, Jensen, Weddle, Moss, et al. You get to know the players and become big fans of them.
The NIL and portal have killed that. Now the best teams will be those with the richest donors…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Take a step back and reflect in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Thanks, Jim. Nice post.
From time to time, I need to sit back and realize how blessed I am. This past football season was painful for me. But I hurt for those people in the hills of North Carolina who lost so much in the hurricane, and now snow and bad weather.

ProudUte replied to the topic Calhoun on November 27th in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
In late October – I felt that the team morale was at an all-time low and that we would lose many players to the portal. My thoughts were right. Losing Calhoun is the biggest loss so far IMO.
We do not have the capability to do what Colorado did. Coach Prime was a huge draw for obvious reasons. He could turn the entire team over in two…[Read more]

It would be nice if Ryan Smith could make the Jazz competitive. It seems that his priority is BYU.

ProudUte replied to the topic Who is going to run the ball for us next year? in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I would let the entire offensive staff go. It isn’t going to happen under Whitt, especially his brother. Our RBs have not been nearly as productive under Ganther. Our Oline has also been a disappointment to me.

ProudUte started the topic A healthy Cam Rising would be a perfect fit for Beck's offense in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Beck’s RPO offense needs a good running QB and Cam was exactly that until the Penn State game.
No way Cam stays at Utah with an offensive system that requires the QB to run.
I will always fondly remember the 2021 and 2022 seasons with Cam rising at the helm. They were funs seasons with some very memorable games.

ProudUte started the topic High recruited Iowa State QB, JJ Kohl to the portal in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
He is the second highest recruit Iowa State has ever signed. He is 6’7″. He did not get much playing time this season.
Just another guy for Utah to look at.

ProudUte started the topic So, coach Whitt is staying in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I have been outspoken about Whitt’s need to leave so we could rebuild this team after the dumpster fire we have experienced over the last 16 months. I think Scalley was in a better place to rebuild the program.
However, Whitt has decided to stay. This will be my last post on this subject until at least next season. Now, I hope Whitt and his…[Read more]

Sounds like a Whitt quote when asked about who would start at QB next week. 🙂

ProudUte started the topic Our QB and RB rooms are empty in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I knew by early November that our football program was in shambles. I assumed many players would leave. But, I am shocked by how many are going to the portal.
At QB:
Bottari is a senior.
Wilson to the portal.
Rose to the portal.
Rising ??? (Not likely returning.)That leaves an injured Huard.
At RB:
Bernard is a senior.
Vincent is a…[Read more] - Load More
