Agreed

ProudUte started the topic Why would an OC who has designed a fast-paced offense want to coach under Whitt? in the forum Football 3 weeks, 2 days ago

I love Whitt, but if I was an OC who believed in a fast-paced offense, I would not want to coach under Whitt.

The word on the street (I cannot say that I know this) is that Arbuckle was interested in coaching with Scalley and starting something new at Utah. However, he felt/learned that Whitt has decided to stay. So …

I guess he saw how awesome our passing attack is and changed his mind. 🙂

I have no idea where he plans to go.

ProudUte replied to the topic New OC? And QB transfer? in the forum Football 3 weeks, 4 days ago

If Whitt is the head coach – he will never hire a coach who runs a fast-paced offense. He wants the offense to have long (time-consuming) drives that keeps his defense off the field. I hope when Scalley becomes the head coach that he will allow a faster-pace offense when it makes sense.

No, not Arbuckle.

ProudUte replied to the topic OC final 3 according to a good source in the forum Football 3 weeks, 5 days ago

I don’t want Marion. He has been at 6 schools over the last 6 years. He doesn’t seem to sty anywhere.

Herman would not be bad, but after being a head coach at Texas – I can’t believe he will stay.

Vigen may be interesting.

There is one more they have been talking to. I am just not at liberty to say who that is until his season is over.

ProudUte started the topic I am glad Bernard got 1000 yards rushing in the forum Football 3 weeks, 5 days ago

He has been a loyal Ute for a long time. He has played the backup role most of the time, but he hung in there. I hate that his last and most productive season was this disaster of a season. But, I am glad he was a Ute.

He is 2-0. Put him in the Utah Hall of Fame next year. 🙂

ProudUte replied to the topic Zacharyus Williams – nice game in the forum Football 3 weeks, 5 days ago

Boxer, I am with you. I liked what I saw. I suspect they chose not to play him this season because we had a lot of WRs and he could redshirt.

ProudUte replied to the topic Isaac Wilson in the forum Football 3 weeks, 5 days ago

I hope Isaac does not choose to leave the program. We had a lot of problems not related to the QB. Our offensive line was simply not very good IMO. The play calling was not good, etc., etc.

I still think that Wilson has the chance to be very good IMO.

ProudUte replied to the topic Wilson debacle is on Whit in the forum Football 1 month ago

Unfortunately, I think Isaac goes into the portal in December. I had high hopes for the kid. This year was a mess. He was only supposed to play in a mop-up role. He was thrown into the fire much too soon.

ProudUte replied to the topic So, If you judged Whitt only on the last two years… in the forum Football 1 month ago

Aloha, I truly respect your loyalty to Coach Whitt. My biggest issue with Whitt is that we had 6 games where we led or were within striking distance late into the 4th quarter. We lost ALL of these games. This is not acceptable in my book. This shows me that Whitt has lost this team and his ability to win games.

Does he deserve to stay, based…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic Britain Covey in the forum NFL 1 month ago

Yes it is. The injury came at a bad time for him They were just beginning to use him as a receiver, then he gets hurt.

I wish Covery the bet. He is a great Ute.

By the way Vele is doing great at Denver. I am happy to see that. No we need to get Kincaid healthy again.

ProudUte replied to the topic So, If you judged Whitt only on the last two years… in the forum Football 1 month ago

Let me ask this question, Aloha, If you were king for a day and could choose who would be the coach on January 1st, would you choose Whiit or Scalley? Throw out everything else like Whitt’s contract, his status as a Ute football icon, etc. Who would be the best person to rebuild this program?

If Whitt does not go on his own, he will be the…[Read more]

ProudUte replied to the topic After attending 392 Ute games I’m done! in the forum Football 1 month ago

I do not agree, but I completely understand. This is the most painful season for me in over 60 years of watching Utah football. And it is not even close. Sometimes you have to take a break.

Good luck!!!

ProudUte started the topic So, If you judged Whitt only on the last two years… in the forum Football 1 month ago

I know it is not fair to do that. But, for a minute – assume that last year was his first season. What would you say/think?

We have lost 7 in a row and that is very bad. But, you know what is worse? Other than the CU game we were in or ahead in the other 6 games. We are finding ways to lose. Just look at Houston, BYU, ASU, TCU, and ISU. We…[Read more]

He should be suspended fo the next game, but he won’t be because of his dad.

ProudUte replied to the topic Why I think Whitt will be back for one more year in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago

I think you are spot on about Whittingham pride. And, you are probably right that he will not hang it up.

BUT, as for me – I think we need the change ASAP in order to save this program.

ProudUte replied to the topic After 20 years of success, this is Whit's first failure of a season in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago

Aloha, I respect that you want Whitt to stay. I completely get it.

Let me ask you these questions:

In your opinion, can Whitt save this program as it sits now?

If so, what does he do differently?

If Whitt is the best guy to turn it around – I am all for it. But, I just don’t think that he is. IMO, we need some new young blood and…[Read more]
