salUTE

True. But Utah offense needs the defense to pitch a shutout or at most 7 points. So it isn’t typical.

In my 41 years on this planet I have worked for the majority of them. I have worked in all sorts of situations and while they are not D1 college football nothing can upset a staff more than people stepping out of their lane to work on others p…[Read more]

Been a minute @Utahute72. Nice to see you posting in these trying times.

Not with Rising or Huntley. Rose was the scout team qb and looked on highly favorably by teammates and fans. Rising made his fame on the scout team I think as well but coaches went with Brewer.

Scout teams are running plays that the defense can expect to as well? Sounds like a horrible way to evaluate a QB.

I would say if you are not the coach evaluating the QB room you probably don’t know anything about it.

I would hope the Defensive coaches would be focused on Barton’s deficiencies. I would say the cause of those points were because of his breakdowns.

Seems like a wild what if.

On the surface we want to blame lack of talent and experience yada yada. Lot of surface level problems.

Problems right now are pretty deep. Coaching is definitely being called into question. Player relationships. Team cohesiveness.

Plugging in Cam Rising in his prime wouldn’t solve the problems that are on the team.

Every year the scout team qb is beloved. Rose was very popular when Rising was running things. I am assuming it is that as well but the way this first paragraph started out it seems contradictory.

He told me that some of the D coaches love Sam Huard. That the D and the O could not be more different. They are basically separated and do their own thing.

This is confusing to me. Help me to understand what you mean here? Why would the D coaches offer an opinion on something they are seemingly uninvolved with?

Unpleasant questions for sure. It wouldn’t be the first time Utah chose the wrong QB to start.
Rose looked good to start. Those drops and mistakes just make your jaw drop as well. The play calling didn’t improve either. Still very disjointed in what kind of system Utah wants to run.

The money for these athletes is where I hear Harlan has been meddling.

The recruits can tell you…for money.

Harlan wrote the most recent deal with Whittingham. I do not believe that at all. I think Harlan is meddling with Player deals. Which has lead to the problem.

It is wild that people don’t realize the nuance of the current situation. Harlan made quite a quagmire of contracts and money. Yet we trust him to bring in the next great coach?

Wildly idiotic and emotional.

The rate at which Utah wants to throw is alarming. It was like 40-50 pace if they could sustain drives. But they can’t so it turns out like it has.

lol wrong it seems.

I will be an ass. I certainly considered this as a possibility and got completely roasted for it dating back to early part of 2023.

I have never understood the Whittingham 2.0 statements. That sounds pretty great to me. Sustained growth for a very long time and regular winning seasons with good wins. The offense has been rough for Whittingham but he has had flashes of brilliance.

The bring in Jay Hill crowd don’t make a lot of compelling arguments for me. Especially when i…[Read more]
