Official UofU homer thread

A-Rod fired and Erickson retires. Both moves concern me from a recruiting standpoint, especially if A-Rod remains coaching in-state. My best guess is Harding promoted to OC and lots of offseason talk about how things are going to be "different".

Wow. What were their jobs? Who was OC and what was the other guys job?

You don't know who Utah's OC was? Seriously?

No, I had no idea. And I guess I still don't since apparently it was a co-offensive coordinator situation according to big b.

So who was the OC last year?
 
Also not sure who the defensive coordinator was/is. I think it's scale but not sure.
 
Who does Whitt think he's going to bring in? Nobody with any kind of a reputation would touch that job. My guess is Harding becomes the full time OC (for a year or two) and then gets fired.

That's the BYU fan in you talking. As much of a trainwreck the Utah OC position has been, Utah is a PAC 12 school, they pay their assistants decent money, they're annual fixture in the College Football Playoff rankings, they have a great Poly recruiting pipeline, they recruit Cali extremely well for a team not named USC or UCLA, they recruit Texas better than they should be able to as well as Florida. If Whitt actually wants to step outside his comfort zone, go get a big name, and actually let him control the offense, he absolutely could.

My Dream candidate and a guy I 100% believe Utah could get is the Tuiasososopo kid out of UCLA. He's currently the passing game coordinator for the Bruins. Bringing him in as the OC is an immediate upgrade for him and a great chance to up his stock as a potential HC. The guy would be a slam dunk. He recruits the West as well as any coach out there and would only strengthen Utah's poly pipeline as well as allowing Utah to get some Cali kids they usually don't have a shot at.

Could Whitt make this happen? Absolutely. Will he? Absolutely not. If it's not Harding, it will be another unremarkable name out of Whitt's "lapdog" Rolodex.
 
Utah was paying ARod and Erickson over $900,000 a year.

I'm pretty sure they could find someone willing to coach for an upper tier PAC-12 team with that money.

Utah can pay their OC more than BYU pays their head coach.
 
Don't think he's referring to money. Whitt will do as he always has and stifle whomever is OC. If he wants to win the South he needs to swallow his pride and trust who Whitt/Hill put
in there. Especially if it's a big name.
