The Miami Ute

I can’t evaluate O Linemen, especially the interior. I just don’t have that skillset. When I was scouting opponents while coaching in high school, I could see the end result of O Line mistakes but could not pick up in real time who was responsible.

So with that background, I never understood the slobbering over Keaton Bills. And I thought…[Read more]

It’s not coach Whitt’s fault? Nothing? The guy who was put in charge of managing those same things that you are blaming for Utah’s current circumstances bears no responsibility?

I’ve said ad nauseum that Whitt has earned the right to finish out his time at Utah under his own terms. But I fail to see how not being prepared for, or adapting to,…[Read more]

You straw manned your argument in the second paragraph. I can’t think of anyone on Utehub that was calling for whitt to leave in 2012 or 2013. If that helps you feel better about wagging your finger at these imaginary people go right ahead. It just isn’t reasonable.

I have said Fire Harlan for three years now. Which is related to current sit…[Read more]

So you’re a director at your company. You’ve turned an entire department over to one person allowing him to make all hiring decisions, staff and run his department based on his vision, and he’s turned a steady profit over the life of his career. But now you’ve lost money the last two years and are faced with replacing half of the employees.

Fassel had to go and it wasn’t all about wins & losses. His defensive coordinator was featured in a Sports Illustrated article with the players calling him “Little Hitler” and was charged with supplying steroids to athletes at South Carolina – he was acquitted. He claimed another time that there weren’t any issues with drugs on his team and then…[Read more]

I wish someone would tell the sports urinalists that truth. Nothing ruined fan discourse more than the obligatory “let’s see what people on twitter are saying” articles that come out after every game. Just what we needed, lazier reporters.,,

I want to work for you some day. Apparently my performance level could never get so low that I would be replaced.

Kump’s been delivering good snaps. That alone is a step up over the last few years.

Even trolls can be right every once in a while. Sometimes even more than a broken clock.,,

I’ve got to admit, everything the OP said went through my mind when I read the recap of the presser. And it wasn’t much different than most of us have been saying at one point or another over the last 2 seasons.

well played sir

Kirby Moore was available last offseason and he seems to be doing just fine at his new spot.

I’ve never seen the playbook so I’m probably over my skis on this one but: the complication comes from the multiple ways to run a specific play. And that’s especially true for the blocking schemes. Do your guards have different reads when the play is calling for man blocking, than they would in zone or power? Toss in RPO and now you could have…[Read more]

with his shoulder, I think you’re correct. They played Mitchell a lot more in the 4th quarter, even when there was only an outside chance of a comeback.

Even just your double capitalization of UTES deserves a thumbs up.

Bernard is so low because he’s pretty much hit/miss on his carries. That ypc got inflated early in the season when he was breaking off a 50 plus every game. Now that he’s not breaking those, and not getting a ton of carries.,, he’s just not going to grade well when he doesn’t pile up a lot of “winning” runs.

College style offense is easier to learn or just simplified?

I’d say both. Pro passing games are built around having 4 seconds for the QB to read the field. College you get 2. So the decisions have to be built into the play call and be simple enough that if a QB can deliver on time, he will be successful.

There’s a 2nd aspect that I don’t…[Read more]

I have faith in Dildoham to take care of the Cougs on Saturday.
