But yes, the answer is yes. If Rising is healthy, Ludwig stays. If Wilson is effective, Ludwig is still the OC. If Rose was playing instead of Wilson, and Utah was winning, he'd still be in.

If all is well for Ludwig on the non football front, he is still the OC.

It's a combination of elements. I'd argue none of those in KW's control.

But in the AZ and TCU games...Ludwig made several big mistakes that showed his mindset was not 100% on the game.

He recognized that and resigned.

Utah's continued underperformance showed it probably never had anything with Lud but more about Wilson's struggles + combined injuries of QB1, QB3 and QB4
