I’d say the Morgan Scalley era is off to a good start, and you’re not being to emotional, I’d say Whit is Lol. I fully expected him to retire, then signs a 5 year deal. So glad Michigan lost its ball game.

The first part is speculation, the second isn’t.
The issue here is letting Scalley go is a bump in the road, Whittingham gutting the best minds of both programs might be catastrophic. If they misread Whittingham’s desire to compete, this is on them.
Whittingham didn’t need to pull **** to leave. All signs point to that he was shown the door.
Scalley’s one-game success is done with Whitt’s players and coaches.

I think they misread it because whitt mislead it. I think he was flip flopping for the last couple years.
The whole thing stinks. Both programs had great years and were on an upswing with momentum. Whitt killed it.

Good assistant coaches are not going to last very long. If Whitt didn't poach them they would have gotten offers soon anyway.

Portal opens today. I know utahs best pash rusher entered the portal (John Henry Daley). Will be interesting to see how many players from BYU and Utah go to michigan. I saw that one of utahs top commits (Salesi Moa) is likely to decommit from Utah and head to michigan.

Saw this and it blew my mind: Yesterday was Indiana’s first bowl win since 1991 and only their 4th bowl win of ALL time.
That is insane. Sitake has been coaching BYU for 10 years. He has 6 bowl wins in those 10 years. Indiana only has 4 bowl wins in their entire program history AFTER yesterdays win. That is one of the craziest stats I have ever seen.
fwiw BYU has 19 bowl wins and Utah has 17 bowl wins. Indiana had 3 bowl wins before yesterday. Crazy. (honestly im surprised that byu and utah dont have more bowl wins than they do as well. Bowl wins just dont seem rare at all to me.)

Yeah, everybody here in Indiana is going pretty crazy about IU right now. Most people can't believe they are good. It's still very much a basketball school even though their basketball team hasn't been great for awhile now.

I think the issue is the timing and the who. I agree that maybe jason beck and for certain jay hill would get poached eventually. But if whitt simply retires then I think neither leaves this off season and more utah commits and players stay at utah and utah doesn't lose other coaches right now as well. Both programs would be better off in 2026 if whitt just retires (like he was telling everyone he was going to do) rather than goes to michigan. Both programs just came off fantastic seasons and had tons of momentum and Whitt, a guy who would seemingly have some love for both programs, single handedly diminished that momentum.
Its easy to see why local fans of both programs would be hurt and upset right now.
