Is it too late to trade Wilson for Rose? Really liked what we saw from Rose, would prefer him back.

I heard Wilson was and I think Onlyu mentioned several others that were also guilty that had left or were on their way out. Just meaning that without knowing for sure, this year I’m not as bummed about players leaving, whether they were apart of the problem or just needed to get a fresh start or whatever their reason may be.

Any other year and I’d be more upset, but after all the rumors we’ve heard of cancer in the locker room this is the one year I’m ok with cleaning house. Don’t know that he was apart of all that, but I wonder if it got bad enough that he just wants a fresh start somewhere else.

Sounds exciting, though I’m assuming at this point he’ll play 1 season for us and if he does well a B1G or SEC team will swoop in with a truckload of cash.

Very true, Jeanty has the championship mindset – he turned down more money to stay in a winning culture built on tradition (paraphrasing his words). Meanwhile Hunter’s price to play in the bowl game was 5 million until he walked that back.

He absolutely was robbed. Snaps are not a stat, Hunter was not the first two-way player, won’t be the last. Yet the media campaign sure wants you to believe it. I have no proof to back it up, just my own belief, but I feel like Prime greased some palms, no other explanation for his son and like-a-son to win the Unitas award and Biletnikoff award…[Read more]

If it takes an entire coaching staff of former BYU players to get us into the playoffs I’ll take it lol

I agree, 4 year contract to start! Wait that sounds familiar…

In all seriousness – model it after the NFL and do away with years of eligibility, it’s the only way to force parity. All new recruits enter a draft. This way they can all stop pretending like their primary goal is education (I know it is for some, but many I feel would drop classes…[Read more]

Ouch. Was really looking forward to watching him as a Ute. If Beck brings his QB it could be good, the 12 passing TD to 12 INT ratio is not great, but the 19 rushing TD’s is exciting.

Dijon hurts, very frustrated that we couldn’t put together an offense tailored to take advantage of his speed. Hope he kills it at his next stop.

Well, bye. If true, wish him the best, but I’m done with the program being held hostage by one player. This is year to year now thanks to lawless NIL, let’s figure out the best QB for 2025 with the idea that they might be gone for 2026 and just plan to deal with that after the 2025 season. Can’t plan on players being around multiple seasons anymore.

Meh, I am very whelmed by this choice. Not the worst, not the best. More frustrated that we couldn’t land Arbuckle despite having the budget to make him one of the highest paid OC, then I’m hearing rumors from Locked On Utes that we whiffed on Leftwich by low balling him. Really hope he can work magic for us.

Sign me up as well. I’ll take 2 to 5 years that results in a playoff run over 20 years of consistency with a Rose Bowl loss ceiling.

Yeah I debated including him for that reason, plus their boosters could probably match or exceed any offer we make. Left off the Louisville coach for the same reason.

Cignetti would be my first choice, but he seems intent to stay in Indiana and likely wouldn’t leave for anything short of a blue blood school.

I would like to see the following at least interviewed before it’s just given to Scalley:

– Brian Johnson, he’s had coaching stops at Houston, Miss St & Florida with Dan Mullen, had a hand in coaching Dak…[Read more]

We’ll just have to agree to disagree. I do not believe previous success should let this season be overlooked. 2012 & 2013 I could forgive because he needed a fair shot to get PAC level recruits & money, we saw what happened when he got that. This year and last he doesn’t have those crutches.

As I said I’ll admit he possibly could turn it around,…[Read more]

I would ask what do we gain by him staying for another 4-5 years? Based on comments made on multiple threads, the general argument for keeping him seems to be “next coach will be bad, team will take a negative trajectory” paraphrasing but that’s the gist of it.

Using that logic, would it not be better to rip the band aid off now vs push the issue…[Read more]

I think the flip side to that is that I recall many asking how we would replace Urban Meyer. A negative is not the only possible outcome nor should it scare us into accepting the status quo.

What I’m taking from this is Whitt is on a PIP.

Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, and now Jayden Daniels.
