Yes. That’s what he does. He knows they’re a fucked up program.

That said. This is a home run for them. This makes it very interesting against us that’s for sure. This does the one thing we didn’t want to see which is it stabilizes them.

I was begging for them to get an offensive coach. Because they aren’t suited for that first of all player wise and there was going to be a transition that likely screwed them over.

Anyways this was what they should’ve done. His style and personality fits them that’s for sure. Issue for them now is he’s not used to this kind of world and he’s 66 years old trying to learn on the job.

We’ll see.

Portnoy shows how much of a clown he is more and more each day. As you said, the program and athletic department is tainted from the core. A coaching change isn't going to solve that, but if you're forced to get a new coach at least get one that stands a chance of winning.

A coaching change to someone who's known to be pretty clean gives the illusion that they are "doing something about it" which sadly too many people will buy

I don't get that 1-0 claim. He was a graduate assistant at BYU in 85-86 when they lost to Ohio State in a bowl game. He wasn't at Utah in 86, when they lost to Ohio State. Gave the Buckeyes a bit of a scare in 2022, but lost.

• First Meeting: 1986 Rose Bowl (Ohio State won 64-6).
• Second Meeting: 2022 Rose Bowl (Ohio State won 48-45).

As for Ono, he's a politician. Not surprising that he lobbies Ellison for an appointment in Europe to escape possible legal action when the brooms come out at TCUN. It already is clear that they cheated, he knew it and he buried it by ensuring no written internal report or even notes, from what I read.

Admittedly 2022 was a ugly win that OSU probably should have lost, but that say's almost as much about Wittingham than it did about OSU then.

Still completely ignoring that everyone at scUM was fully aware of Sherrones creepy dealings with women and said nothing until outsiders started making noise and it got to the point where they had to do something. Those are some great morals!

Miami Dline is good but it's not all world. Think their stats might be a bit inflated from feasting on a awful ACC slate tol. I agree it's ok the be concerned especially after the Indiana game but they are definitely stoppable.

Made even worse by the fact you aren't going to get the talent up front if you don't (basically) guarantee the money.

It's one thing for a J Smith to get the most money and then everyone shuts up after the first practice. Its another thing to have a bust that you can't make take a hair cut. Prices will spiral and locker rooms will be a tricky, tricky thing.

Better for everyone once they get to full on employee status-->union--> CBA like other professional sports.

And to make a play on your words, teams are not getting the talent up front. Meaning that they're not getting the full talent/ceiling of the player up front, but they are expected to guarantee a chunk of money to that unproven player. Not sure what could go wrong

The roster situation will be interesting to see. I'm not sure Whittingham is a guy who brings guys who were on the fence to stay, think they are still gonna lose their fair share this time around.

This is mainly why they settled on him, he's more than likely to bring zero controversy and the higher ups there know it's going to take a long time to fix things after their recent fiascos. They coulda done worse but they aren't gonna be any better than the better pre cheating Harbaugh years

Umm. He kicked the shit out of Nick Saban ans Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

That was like 20 years ago now lol. And that was about the peak of the "didn't want to be there" era.

He did get Utah to back to back Rose Bowls in 21 and 22 seasons. But those were both 3 loss regular seasons and Utah lost both of those games.

They own a piece of the ACC too.

You will never see OSU spoken of on ESPN in any way better than a backhanded compliment.

It's been going on for close to 25 years now. Time to just recognize it for what it is.
