All true. And some have suggested he could just enjoy the massive salary increase and mail it in from the golf course.

On the other hand, he has coached for 32 years and suddently has a legit opportunity to win a NC.

Something interesting about Moore is that he has fielded two of those 9-4,10-3 teams with a program which Poggi describes as malfunctioning.

Pay attention to the staff he puts together. That is the first place Ellison's money will go.

Threat level High.

A trained monkey coulda coached scUM to 9 wins this year with the cake walk conference schedule they were handed. I don't think there's a coach who goes better than 9-3 with them this year and you'd be really hard pressed to find someone so incompetent that they finished worse.

I would have preferred that they had not landed on their feet with a proven solid coach who prefers a physical style of play. I don’t see him making them elite, but they won’t crater, will be a moderate to fairly serious threat, and will surely get the benefit of the doubt that they’ve cleaned everything up from the media. Hopefully, he doesn’t have the energy to be an elite recruiter. It would help a lot if they make the mistake of going away from the NFL-level DC’s they’ve had.

We will see how Wittingham adjusts to playing more consistently against higher level competition and the pressure of higher expectations that he's never really had at Utah. I think the floor is probably higher with him than Brohm or Monken but the ceiling remains unmoved (9-3ish type team who can win 10 games every so often when the stats align right but never really a true national contender)

we had to know with all that billionaire money that they would eventually find a decent hire. Frankly, my initial thought was he is a great hire. But once I saw he was 66 years old that changes my opinion some. 3 years...5 max.

Do we know that Ellison is involved in anything beyond the one-and-done QB purchase for his latest wife. He has zero connections with the tsun other than some likely research related stuff that is handled well below his office and is no different than what Oracle has with multiple othe aau universities.

Rumblings were that he was coughing up 25 mil, but nothing ever confirmed. Who knows, he might have backed away from the stench. But when you have 500 billion a hundred mil or so to keep the wife happy is nothing.

No it’s a good hire for the next few years. After retiring from Utah, I’m not sure how enthusiastic he’ll be in recruiting. It’ll keep them afloat for 2-4 years while they try to find their next pos.

He isn't that much older than Cignetti, the difference is perception. Scum fans will treat this as a bridge hire, and also rewrite Whittingham's well tenured history. He has been a good but not great coach. Cignetti may coach another 7 years. People aren't saying that about Whittingham. He is good, not great

He is also good enough to pull off a win against OSU, and also lose to a mid level B1G program. That is what he was at Utah. Every year.

If people think there will be some sort of professional level up and he will rewrite what he was, they are going to be disappointed.

10-2 this year (losing to the top 2 big 12 teams of course) but 5-7 and 8-4 the 2 years before

He's had a very up up and down tenure at Utah. Will bust off a couple 10 win years then fall into a 4+ loss rut.

He's a good coach (better than Brohm and Monken) but this isn't some slam dunk home run like they are gonna try to twist it to be.
