The Miami Ute

I am curious about how many football championships are won by coaches that have been in place several years vs coaches that are new replacements.

Saban won so many that you have to go back a long ways. Off the top of my head though, the Miami coaches all seemed to do it in their 2nd or 3rd year. Meyer won his at Florida in his 2nd and 4th year.…[Read more]

Appreciate you, Ted. 👊

Why can’t there be an Urban Meyer waiting to come to Utah?

I cited Prince based on what I thought your previous post was referring to: what happened with the coach who took over the first time Snyder stepped down?

Yes, anything other than what happens is speculation. And anything that might happen in the future is based on subjective probability and nothing more.

I feel like I keep having to repeat…[Read more]

The system is one thing. The playcalling, making pee wee league level adjustments when a defense is stacking the box and utilizing your talent is another. I expect Bajakian to at least do those things.

BAZOOKA BAJAKIAN TIME!

weird that a duplicate post showed up an hour later

I swear I read every post again twice and didn’t see it. Mea culpa

I thin you mean the Ron Prince years of 2006 – 2008. For context, Snyder went 4-7, 5-6 in ’04/’05. Which was well down from exactly 11 wins in 6 of the 7 years from 1997-2003. I was living in Kansas at the time and can personally attest that local sports radio was calling for Snyder’s head. Prince then went 7-6, 5-7, 5-7 which got him fired.…[Read more]

I was quoting the post above me, silly pants!

I thought we already were a support group?

I’m missing something. Didn’t you just use those terms? Surely you aren’t suggesting that you are the only one allowed to use hyperbole to make a point.,, Are you?

And yet the “if the program continues to spiral out of control” and “horribly bad” sentiment is still ludicrous.

A recent parallel to the current Whitt situation would be Bill Snyder at Kansas State. He’d taken one of the worst programs in CFB and turned it into a consistent, well-regarded program. Occasionally made runs at being great but always better than most. The stadium was named after him, his contract made him coach for life (or as close to life…[Read more]

The problem is those two Rose Bowl teams were both 9-3 and in no danger of sniffing the playoffs under the system in place at the time. The last time Whitt had a truly playoff caliber team was 2019 and they crapped the bed in the CCG.

So we’re now on the 6th season past his best chance, the playoffs have been expanded so that 9-3 could possibly…[Read more]

We’ve had a shitty 3 game stretch and yes the last two years have been kinda 💩 but before that it was was back to back conference championships and Rose Bowls. We went went into the season ranked in the top 15. Which means our program is greatly respected. Even though we didn’t deserve that ranking. I get as frustrated with Whitt as anyone with OC…[Read more]

It’s like my dad jokes. If my wife and I daughter don’t mostly hate them it’s not worth the effort. 😝

🎶 Mike ran a fast machine, he kept the offense clean. He was the best damn OC that we’ve ever seen. No triple reverses, that were killing drives. Knocking Cougs out with those Bajakian dives. Then the field started quaking, the MUSS was shaking. My mind was aching and we were making it! And the U! Was scoring all night long! 🎶
