UteThunder replied to the topic Rank the coaching changes in the forum Football 4 months ago
Beck: A- Not our first choice, but he might end up being our best choice. Sounds like he will be bringing a dynamic offense with him, and the best part is that he is being allowed to bring in some of his own guys to help coach it.
Detmer: A Have we ever had a dedicated QB coach?
Atuaia: A Good reputation, good recruiter, could be bringing a much…[Read more] -

UteThunder replied to the topic Tiny RB signees in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
It’s not the problem, but it’s part of the problem. The line isn’t always going to be able to make/hold their blocks and you need a back big enough to be capable of getting yards after contact to pick up those tough short yards.

UteThunder replied to the topic Two things I don't understand about the Ute Fan base (at least online) in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
1. I’m indifferent towards BSU, but they have had our number (I believe we are 0-4 against them) and their fans are something else.
2. I don’t hate Harlan, but what has he done to improve Utah athletics, specifically football and basketball? The new South Endzone at RES was already in the works before he was hired. Harlan just put the finishing…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic New OC hire could signal KW's future in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
If we hire someone like Dirk Koetter or Dan Mullen, that tells me Whit plans on staying for another year or two and wants a mercenary to help right the ship quickly for one last ride. If we hire one of the younger guys who have been rumored, I will expect a follow up announcement of Whittingham’s retirement.

UteThunder replied to the topic Utah Broke Gus Malzahn in the forum Football 4 months, 2 weeks ago
What does this say about the Big XII, and UCF specifically, that a head coach is voluntarily taking what should be viewed as a demotion to be an OC in the ACC? Unless he’s been told “quit or be fired”, it’s hard to understand this career move.

UteThunder replied to the topic What is the path for HS coach to D1? in the forum Football 4 months, 3 weeks ago
High school coaches play little to no part in whether kids turn into D1 football players. They are largely born with the measurables. As long as they work to maximize their genetics, college coaches will find them.
Recruiting to a high school is not the same as recruiting to a university. For the most part, the pitch is, “Hey kid, we’re getting…[Read more]

Is Corner Canyon great because Kjar is a great coach? Or is Corner Canyon great because they have a ton of great players transfer into his program?
I’m sure he is a fine coach, but my guess is the latter. Any coach is going to look like a genius with the athletes he’s had at Corner Canyon.

Bajakian is on the sideline. He is in the intermediary between whoever is in the booth and the QB.

I noticed Rising smiling and talking on the sideline while Wilson was in the game. When Bottari came in, Cam put a headset on and was engaged in the game. Make of that what you will.

UteThunder replied to the topic Why I think Whitt will be back for one more year in the forum Football 5 months ago
I’ve been convinced since Fall Camp that this would be Kyle’s last season. But the way he talked about hiring a new OC, I’m not so sure now. I could see him sticking around for one more season to see what he can manage with a new OC and an influx of talent from the portal.

UteThunder replied to the topic Is this the Weekend that Utah Turns the Corner? in the forum Football 5 months ago
I don’t see it.
@ Colorado and vs Iowa State will be two of the best teams we have played all year and we are coming off of a heartbreaking rivalry loss.
@ UCF on a short week the day after Thanksgiving with nothing to play for but pride, most likely.

UteThunder replied to the topic Team Predictions in the forum Football 5 months, 1 week ago
After losing 4 straight, that BYU game was make or break for the season. If we had won, I think this team could have pulled out one or two more wins in the final three. But, losing the way we did, I don’t think we will even be competitive in any of these final three games.

McBride had a losing season in 2000 that contributed to his firing after 2002.
Whittingham isn’t going to be fired two years removed from back to back Pac-12 championships. However, I’ve had a feeling since the season began that he is going to retire at the end of this season. With how this season is playing out, I’m even more convinced he is ca…[Read more]
