For context, Utah had been mediocre for decades, they had one solid year in 1994….then came Urban Meyer and 2 outstanding seasons in 2003 and 2004. Then they hired Whit and had a ho-hum start to his tenure, and we decided he was terrible.

There was a song spoof that used to play regularly on the radio. It was set to Garth Brooks‘ unanswered prayers, it started out, “just the other night at a hometown football game, My wife and I ran into Kyle Whittingham…”

Be careful about spiking the football too early
