I hope we just go with Wilson. Even so, I

Garff, Eccles and Huntsman money drying up already?

John Doe

Do you not have any hope that Morgan Scalley will continue to be successful?

Knight-who-says-ni

2:06pm

I think Morgan is a good coach. Yet to be seen if he will be a good head coach.

Jdoc

2:21pm

I worry that they take a hard run at Jay Hill if Scalley doesn't work out year 1

YankeeCoug

2:33pm

I think Scalley will be given 3-4 years. That puts it 4-5 years out for us.

runnincoug

I really hope you are right...

YankeeCoug

Scalleywag has a minimum of 3yrs

Especially because he'll do well enough to give them continual hope that true

My best to you. Fandom is hard. You're a good dude.

Likewise to @Jdoc.

If they hang on to Rising they’ll keep falling. Stick with Wilson.

I think Scalley could actually rejuvenate the program a bit. I think he will be

I think Morgan is a good coach and will do fine, but there will be a drop of in

Why do you think that?

I think how well they do hiring Whitt's successor will be massive

Well, at least you have the B1G invite in your pocket

Well, I never remotely believed that. It is comical that so many

should win the next 2 with or without a QB, 6-2?? could be a bit worse, like

franklyvulgar

1:34pm

Should win the next too. The last 4 will be pretty tough. 2-2 would be a good

Jdoc

1:36pm

i think you finish with 3 or 4 total losses, not bad considering not having a QB

franklyvulgar

1:42pm

Four losses including the bowl loss is the gold standard for Utah football

Greg4BYU

4:23pm

I think they need to turn the page for good on Rising. Wilson is very talented

rivercitycoug

1:34pm

Wilson keep y’all relevant for awhile. He looks to be a pretty good college QB

Squirt

Unless he decides to jump off the sinking pirate ship and go elsewhere

Utah enjoyed 11 years of being in a power conference over us...

Coug

1:42pm

everything goes in waves. Utah is ending the best football run in their history

Cougarclaw

1:52pm

I appreciate a Ute with open-minded takes on his program. My thoughts ...

runnincoug

1:55pm

I agree with all of your points.

Jdoc

2:01pm

I'm not sure BYU will be a whole lot better TBH, so rivalry games will be epic.

runnincoug

2:07pm

Yes. Rivalry games should be fun, but I wouldn't be surprised if BYU starts to

CougfromtheSouth

Nah...BYU fans have been saying this since 2004. Utah will be fine.

TFL

2:01pm

Utah had a clear financial and recruiting advantage for over a decade, and

2:11pm

Like I said, every year for the past 20 years, including Utah's invite to the Pac-12, BYU fans

TFL

2:18pm

I wasn't predicting a demise of the Utah program in any of those years.

ldssdl

2:33pm

Yeah none of us really were but it's convenient for utes to misremember we were.

Brandoblueblood

4:28pm

Because clearly BYU cannot or will not recruit non LDS athletes.

WillsPitStop

3:36pm

Hasn't BYU done better now with the TP and the Big 12? It's more the naive assumption

TFL

3:47pm

QB recruiting is considered a strength at Utah? I’ll give you TE, but given your

ldssdl

4:34pm

Compare Utah recruiting at QB 10 years ago or 5 years ago, to the last 3-4

TFL

5:35pm

Like our starting and backup QBs

YOHONOMOTO

Hahahahaha I love reading these messages from TFL... never give up TFL, don't be like the Utah basketball fans!

Atmospheric_Cougar

Wow, I appreciate this honest opinion. Causes me to want to say: I hope things

Captain Barnacles

2:09pm

I think each team is better when the other is at least decent

YankeeCoug

2:35pm

seriously... the biggest problem BYU fans have with Utah is the obnoxious fans.

runnincoug

2:56pm

Don't worry Utah most teams have a hard time in 1st year of a power conference

ninja math

2:31pm

They will still be a pretty good football team. I wouldn't count them out by any

conetah

Embrace the light, Jdoc. Convert to BYU fandom.

Brandoblueblood

2:47pm

This really is the best solution

SV72 Sale

3:20pm

I think we might be writing off Utah a bit too soon.

SouthernCoug

2:54pm

Agree ... too soon

ElmerAlbert

4:05pm

Who is writing them off? But Ute fans saying Utah will never dip and go through tough years is the delusional viewpoint.

Atmospheric_Cougar

4:42pm

eyeroll for the yahtzee

Spiff

I think its overstated. Utah will be fine. Maybe not great but...

DazeofBlue

4:03pm

I appreciate your objective thoughts. Three reasons things may be different now:

seacougar

4:20pm

They are a QB away from being a good team

deljdc

4:20pm

I think they will do fine. They will never be as big as their X.com fans say they will be, but will always compete.

AltTabbins

4:25pm

Admitting that about many in your fanbase earns a lot of good will.

LateToTheGame

4:32pm

good luck with that (on both sides)

franklyvulgar

4:51pm

So you are saying they went with some nice light blocking curtains for RES then?

Pangare

4:39pm

You are way too logical. LOL

SeattleBYUfan

Amen!

Atmospheric_Cougar

Hang in there, Jdoc! One day, another BYU great will coach at Utah and raise them from the ashes!
